austrians doing it aswell…. they are into the irish market now. called griffner-haus…collaboration with coillte. that wouldn’t suit some climates and i wouldn’t know about earthquake proof… maybe..
fair enough. yea i was thinking that after i wrote that. it would probably be like in the future preserving farm sheds….
absolutely. i think they are a waste of my money to be honest. and only 1 person jailed from the whole bloody lot of them.
ooch! but quite true i must say about the tribunals. and it doesn’t pay to do the low profile things like engineering supervision. the general public don’t particularly care about that. “sure what are you doing that for, can’t they do that themselves” also local costom’s in building are what’s used in afflicted countries who are too poor to correct it themselves. a hell of a lot of money would be needed to provide what u ask. take recent tragety in iran. a whole city needed and well still needs to be rebuilt. but how much is that going to cost and can a few paddy’s really make a large difference without some governmental aid. and with this aid will come government supervision and experts.
also that particular place was there for hundreds of years… kinda hard to say to everyone …get out and we bulldoze ur gaff in case an earthquake happens and kills loads of yez. i agree with the princple but application would be hardship in the extreme.i don’t know what to think about the caption of this thread. sounds too much like , if it’s still standing after a few years then it must be good,.
now valentina , i agree with u there. popularity goes a long way to determine appreciation however humans tend to have the wierdest taste sometimes and take interest in some awlful buildings.yeah sw101, i think i may have to go with libeskind for the time being. hopefully stw will be able to create some strange shapes in their glass box but i think that is unrealistic unfortunately.
it’s true it probably fits anywhere in the world. it doesn’t take from the design though. and i dunno if it needs to reflect to the town though. sometimes it’s best to start again. they want a landmark so why link it? i’m not saying that it has to be different just putting across that something completely different might be the order of the day. a building like this may open people’s minds to change/difference. and it’s true they need to show more than the images before we can really take each building seriously.
hennigan_peng: the image does look very childish but then again who cares at the end og the day. it’s the design that matters. not too sure about the block formats. a close up might reveal something smart.
s/t/w: i actually like this. i know they do this block format a lot but if behind the glass shell they did something interesting then it would be very good. has potential.
libesking: it does look like the shark alan was talking about. it’s a very busy building. but i like. internally and how the spaces work that will be the judge. it may start a revolution in dun laoghoire.
skidmore: trying to hard to be gehry without the understanding. if the front of the ship was just a structure that the building was placed behind then we may be talking. has some potential but i don’t think should win it.(ok i meant gehry like not like his work itself)
just my little opinion…agree/disagree at will!
can u imagine the fun of trying to explain how to drive those to pat-joe from the bog? 😀
traffic lights on roundabouts give them enough trouble….
well what do u think…roundabouts or fly-overs?i am sick or these 2 lane motorways..i think they are stupid but i must admit…the bypassing of towns with just 1 lane…genius…and on the routes of major proposed motorways…. what were they thinking. i can only judge the gal/dub road..even though i have traveled a bit on the dub/cork. the bypass of some little shit town in kildare was just 1 lane and now the loughrea bypass is 1 as well. i thought it was going to be a motorway connecting the major cities…why waste money on these little crap things and just spend it on a proper motorway???? i can’t understand this. oh! and there is going to be about 4/5 roundabouts on the loughres bypass….i don’t know why so many are needed:(
in my college computer skills were secondry. there was a big emphasis on sketching and were always told that an architect can’t design on a computer hence now i have to sketch everything before i can even draw it in 2d. u are right however that in office work it’s mainly concerned on 2d work with all the big 3d stuff going out to some nerd. we only get to do small colour renderings and if lucky and on our own time do a 3d of some projects.
