veru interesting point. forgive me but that is kinda of what the matrix was saying i think. but i do agree that if machines become thinking… then we would cease to be relevant. as regards living in virtual reality…very possible but i don’t know if i can see it happen to be honest. or as in the matrix how do we know it hasn’t already happened!!!!
and i think that happens with every gov dept everywhere…but why not cash in onit and design something and then they give one millions for more designs.. seem senisible to me.lol….. however there is the moderist approach of say babylon5 / star trek and other such shows…there is precendent there to enable us to maybe get through planning via an bord pleanala of course as i’m sure the objection would go that far.
time travel? sorry i missed it. what exactly do they mean and as regards that..can we travel into the future? that would mean some pre-destiny..i believe that one can travel the other way alright but the future no.
the need to design for robots is a strange one. why the need to design architectural space for a machine when u may be able to send the machine up on it’s own. like sending ur motherboard from ur computer into space. i know that is in it’s simpliest form but it explains the point. with that it’s just a matter of building the robot out of a material suitable for space. i believe it is only a matter of time before the smart computer is developed but weither it thinks for itself…i dunno. the question there is are we capable of creating such a machine. possibly.
as regards the process of architecture and how to solve the gravity question is the major point, i believe. there are different forms it can take. size obviously and then there is the matter of construction. have u heard of this elevator to space? this could solve getting the materials there but as regards asking paddy to go up there and put it together???not only dublin but everywhere in ireland. and it’s not just at as seemingly there are a few in galway..1 is a taxi-driver who justs objects to everything….cos he is bored or something..i don’t know but
nicely edited!!!!
not so sure. that might be over-exposure… but then again why not a national stadium?
hmmmm! that’s a tough one..i’ll have to get back to you but i agree that that thread was an interesting conversation.
it’s good to see that u have changed ur mind. so why not 32 storeys?
yes the architecture does matter the most and so no matter the height it should always be judged on the architecture.oh! forgot to say well said blain.
stira…one would hope it is as a landmark building should stand out not blend inexcuse my ignorance in classical architecture dispora but i wasn’t quite using the term folly in the architectural sense. in easier terms it means, fickleness,foolishness and nonsense among others. and to be honest, the georgian architecture ,as someone suggested(sorry forgot who), was poor in dublin compared to other places so i will leave to the afore mentioned people. hopefully the will decide to knock it and start again.
i agree that time is needed to build a say 100 storey development but at the rate your saying that night not be til the next millineum. but as u said urself u would have objected to 22 storeys and now it would be 25??? why.building interact on many levels and not just in regards to scale so to just take 1 princple and form an opinion on that is a folly and so possibly ur development in spacial interaction is somewhat stunted by working for/with an taisce. such narrow-mindness is usually reserved for architectural ignorant people.
as regards cultural events. our culture is evident not only in remembrance events but in our built environment, some may say more so, so i don’t really know what ur argument there is. culture is forever evolving and to embrace a past culture of ours and seize on it as an ideal for the future and we must strictly follow this is again narrow-minded.
and you seem to be focusing ur anger about our public transport system onto the built environment and those who wish to supply services. find the people that are actually to blame ( ie those who squandered money during the celtic tiger years on meaningless crude) and focus ur blame on them.
you will have to explain better than that because at the present moment u are sounding like paisley ranting. we say no. it might be good but just in case we will say no. and will not budge even if it mean a fight.
weither he is in a rangers shirt or a pin stripe suitplease explain heritage value. and as i said everything has to start somewhere. it depends on the architecture. me thinks u don’t like tall buildings…keep ireland in the 18th century!!!!
