I agree,They want to build this ‘Rockafella’type centre,but why?New York and Dublin are 2 Totally different Cities.For starters New york and its hinterland has a poulation of like what 14 million people?Dublin has 1 and a half million.You can’t duplicate the ‘Buzz’ of An International City in the guise of a Building and is that not the reason behind all these New Modern edifices going up left,right and centre?..they think if they erect a structre that in any way resembles those of ‘canary Wharf’ in London,’La Défense’in Paris or Manhattan NY that the building will bring with it that Cities ‘Vibes’and ‘energy’.I really don’t think it works that way.Dublin was Once one of the most beautiful Cities in the world and it is well known that Queen Victoria thought it more ‘Charming’than London,so much so that when London was building and the Question of whether Dublin should follow suit she refused.And as a final point It’s interesting when we go abroad and we gaze around at us in whatever City we’re in,It is the Architecture that makes us do so,we don’t look at them as buildings but as Art as it had such a different underlining vision when it was being built,Buildings such As The central bank,The 4 courts,the Georgian terraces and Victorian Villas,these were bulit with Art In mind,Most Modern Architecture is built with Fashion in mind and we all know what fate fashion enjoys!

Maybe a bit long-winded but Im 19!
