I bet you didn’t have this 1: the night over Europe except us.
It’s a very rare picture where you can see Ireland’s sky clean!!(I don’t know from who is from so don’t use it for “comercial” stuff)
Nasa has a big colection of pictures taken from space but I couldn’t find Dublin there… anyway it might be relevant to some of you, specially fjp…
cities:

(here you have a very nice picture of Lisbon 😉 )I saw it already 😉
But isn’t it unfair people don’t get such free information about their cities ? What do you do? buy it ?
Maybe it’s just a cultural aspect… Your cities are very “horizontal” and no one there likes living on appartments!… just don’t blame it on the earthquakes ’cause u don’t have them!
Maybe I was to agressive up there but it was what I felt when I was in Ireland… I woulnd’t call it racism but maybe I just couldn’t compit with people who already work there, know your building regulations, speaks and writes perfect english, etc. I’m young and young people when are trying to find a job need to have all the tools they can, and not just be a good human being and have good creative skills…
Another problem could be the salary i required because I needed to get a live there and be independent.
Also the UE didn’t solve yet some anoying problems considering laws of practice and recognition of degrees, that can give you some problems. While the degrees don’t become similar (with adaptations to each one of the countries), the employers never know for sure what you are really capable of doing or what you really know…
Notice that I’m not talking just for me but for other people I know, not just in Portugal that tried or are trying to work in other countires inside the UE.
I think it was all this plus this “kind” of economical crises that is covering Europe like a ghost…Anyway I enjoyed the time I was there… you have a cold but great country! 🙂
Hi Ola (1 of the 45.000 students of Architecture in Germany)!
Now compare Italy with Luxemburg where you only have 120 students studing abroad !
Anyway I’m back to Portugal, in my old job and with no plans of moving out. After being in Ireland for a while and live the experience of the fake “open borderds”, I came to the place that still offers me best conditions: professionals, more studies and personal… Also a great weather !!
In Portugal we don’t have many jobs too but in general employers can understand the architects qualities without looking to their nacionality… unfortunaly the same dindn’t happen in Ireland, to me or other people I know.
Maybe things change in the future…
Are you finishing your course ? And where were you working at ?Can someone please tell me where I can oficial and detailed information about this competition (online).
Thanks in advanced,
Rita
Can’t it just be “copyright fear” ?…
I bet they all go and have a look at some of their collegues websites…
We know that, Cajual….
We are only thinking about the goals of advertisement and on the ways you can do it in “legal” ways.
I once saw a webpage of an irish architectural firm (not saying names here) with price lists!!! How can this be possible ?!So the bar design is directly related with the type of people who goes there, not matter the localization?… In that case onwers and architects are achiving their goals, concerning the control of public, prices, social representations, etc.? What would say a yuppie on this board?

So please clarify me… Can anyone in Ireland be responsable for a project / constrution of a building ?! If so, how can you control the design quality and prices?…
What about all Dublin itself…? (joking). Anyway, I don´t know much about Dublin but when I was there I went to a shopping center near St. Stephens Green wich I remember being a bit weird from the outside, trying hard to look old and to fit with other buildings around it. But the main problem, in my very personal humble touristic opinion, is based on the interior planning/design (or lack of it). Does anyone share this opinion?
