yes. i agree. where the machines will have to be programed to adapt to it’s environs and then so given the scope to “grow”.
their is nothing outstanding about it but it’s height makes it ,as the new buzz term is, a landmark. it’s simple form is kinda growing on me though. could do with something else for the bottom few storeys. straight up will make it seem taller than it is. an introduction of some forms about half way up will lessen the impact. but it’s not bad. i don’t mind that u can count the storeys. although it probably will have balconies for private open space or “defensible space” so one would be able to count them anyway.
what a strange defination of morals but whatever floats ur boat. and my god man, can’t u take a joke or are u capable of humour???? the fact that u are talking about him a lot invites that joke!!!
i haven’t seen the proposal so i can’t comment on the aesthics but you were against it before it was shown at all because of it’s height. and to answer what! from the other thread. why not build as high as we can. and it’s not quite rising from 2 storey’s but the bland 5 storey shit that is mindlessly being built all around the country but espically in dublin. who decided that high rise building takes away from the surronding buildings. if anything it emphasises them.the oil reserves belong to argentina and not to the falklands. no i haven’t been to argentina..have u?? thatcher re-invaded as it was of military importance. and as regards argentina’s regime..ever country has had a dicator like that. thatcher herself watched thousands of irish getting killed in the north and technicially they are british citizens. so to clean someone else’s house one best have one’s own gleaming. however that being neither here nor there as regards to the thraed i will discuss the buildings in the other thread as two conversations about the same thing is not quite what i want.
oh! dear … how small minded…
of course architectural conservation is indulging the whims of the particular failed designer elite.to look forward instead of backwards may seem a waste of money to you but for a lot of people to search for better than we have got is a noble profession.

The Falklands war was fought for mineral rights, namely the oil rights to about half the South Atlantic.Your are also right in saying the 32 storey building is insignificant, it is insignificant in architectural terms. Dublin is being sold a pup
Name one 25 storey plus rendered landmark building that is held as a model of good design
As for AI
it is limited because like some people in Ireland it never learns from it’s mistakes i.e. sub standard tall residential development undertaken by government
sorry just after seeing this… what oil rights? u aren’t listening to the propaganda r u?
indeed a pup…should be a lot taller.Originally posted by Diaspora
Talking about walking I would use the analogy of a dog and keep the muzzle firmly in placeha,ha..what! what age r u? 12!
anyway…back to the topic. it is a possibility in years to come. we have seen how far computers have progressed in the last fifty years. and they are far from simple as u first said. they are indeed complex. and as we begin to rely on them more and more they will become even more so. computers may be the first colonists onto a new planet and therefore this is what we have to think about.
ok…while i would prefer to see it in galway but why sacrifice 1 city for the development of another town… after all it’s the development of the country as a whole which is the primary aim and should be the primary aim of all irish people.
this hard on u have for top parlon(whoever he is) is getting fairly old. i think u should ask him out on a date seeing as u talk about him that much.the operating system of ur pc is not quite what we are talking about and neither are we saying ur pc will sprout legs and begin to walk.
and joy in another person’s misery!!! this is the instinct i was talking about earlier…
why..because it may the architectural quality of the towns that were lucky enough to have a sitting minister
indeed but unfortunately there is no point telling the blind(an taisce). they see what they want to see.
while strictly true it doesn’t mean they won’t advance…we were strictly leaf eating chimps at one stage
The society in space is going to change from the moment we take the first tenative steps to colonise. at the start it will be survival and will be that way for the first few generations.and therefore the architecture will have to reflect that. after that then the course will change to reflect society here. however as our history is littered with colonies wanting independence or at least autonomy then it will veer in it’s own direction. this of course depends on materials/circumstance, etc,etc…. i agree with the fact that more than likely there will be wars…as humans we seem to depend on it to cull the herd. and ur point about little islands taking on more significance than normal…all we have to do is remember the falklands where britain fought a war over a little island thousands of miles away from it for no senisble reason other than pride. the star trek anology of a world of utopia is sadly mistaken. we can’t even get on, on our own little rock what makes us so arrogant to believe we will get on in the vast depths of space. this again will direct architecture to mabye back to medieval times…castle, more castles, and even more castles…. as regards currency…well i don’t know if the form we have now will do the job. we might revert back to the bartering system which isn’t perfect because it has a lot of loopholes in the form of slaves etc… but it is the logical choice. we as a race have to assume that when we do go into space slavery and such will become a large issue again. again back to star trek and everything is free…i don’t think so but nice concept…i’ld definately have one of those massive tv’s please…
however as a people that have been conditioned to wanting our own little patch i think that apartments and such will always be in demand or the eqivalent. i know it is more so with the peoples of these two little islands than say the continent or the states but there still is an urge there as well. so apartment blocks will always be there and hopefully there shall be no trouble passing such an insignificant building like a 32 storey!!!!…sorry couldn’t resist…
we will have to rely on machines to do most of the work and even more so in the future when we all become fat and lazy cos machines do everything and there is the chance of ai. i thik jurassic park is nonsense. i don’t believe life will find a way. all u have to do is think of the countless amounts of species we have made extinct. so the spectre of a war against the machines is a chilling one. if we go this route then it will take at least about 9 years to get a human fighter…using child fighters, and machines could be churned out in a day so they would easily outnumber us and wipe every single human out. such a nice thought…
