Docklands warehouse to have a £20m facelift
The Irish TimesThe 19th-century warehouse on Dublin’s docks known as Stack A is to be redeveloped next year as a retail, restaurant and cultural venue at a cost of £20 million. Announcing the scheme yesterday, the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, said this final section of the IFSC site to undergo refurbishment was “one of the key aspects to bringing life and heart to the whole area”. Stack A’s transformation will be funded and overseen by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.

The GAA should be forced to open the stadium especially if they want funding.

I quite like the massing with the glass volume (you can see on top) that erupts through the stone clad volumes. One thing that this building has over the NGI extension is that it is protected from that most virilent of species – the teenager with markers, and spray paint. Also I imagine Trinity will plant some tree inside the railings which will soften the massing.

The Front Lounge is around longer than five years, cos i went on the piss on it the night i graduated with my masters….
yeah, yesterdays papers had knock 20percent off capacity which would knock about 40 percent off the cost as once stadiums go above 60k seats they have to go up higher…..
