Well, I’m beginning to really like the design. I admit it’s a million miles away from what I, and by the sounds of it, most people here expected. But I have to say I’m relieved its not some predictable geometrical or spirally Celtic design – that would have been ultimately disappointing and maybe contradictory to the idea that it has no historical references. I think it’s a great idea how they got the design and I find that as I am opening my mind, I am finding it more pleasing to the eye every day.
“the nose from the street and the poor building managment which has let the wrong type of people move into these blocks”, just wondering what you meant by this StephenC.
That mystery crane is fully extended now and doing stuff – what, I can’t make out…
look: http://www.camvista.com/ireland/dublin/liffey.php3From the Irish Independent website:
Dublin’s Millenium Spire has gone out of the spotlight – temporarily at least. High winds last night ensured that the bulb on top of the 120 metre monument was put out of action at around half past 6. The aviation authority was informed of the breakage, and a Dublin City Council spokesperson has confirmed that it will be a few days before the ‘Pole in the Hole’ will be casting light on us again.Of course now there’s the same sense of anticipation about when the black wrapping is coming off and when are they going to light it up etc. etc… Anyone any ideas?
Interesting, thanks. I think we have a deserved winner judging from the bits and pieces I’ve seen and heard.
Is there anywhere on the web I can view some of the other entries for this competition? I’d love to have a look (and a laugh?) at some of the near misses which would no doubt now be in place had they won!
