    my new office is just to the left of the position that picture was taken from. You don’t have some deadly photos of the old docks buildings behind there do you?

    they didn’t show their new identity through architecture. Maybe through monuments but not architecture.

    without wanting to waffle on like garethace, this is what the bloke on the http://www.showhome.org.uk website said about it.

    “Fabricating the cottage with only three sides is significant. It pushes the work away from being read as architecture and moves it closer to being sculpture and clearly artifice dealing with notions of land use, building style and lifestyle.” Show Home is a work that will cause animated debate on the subject of art in the landscape of our towns and cities – and cause us to seriously examine whether the rural idyll is ultimately an urban illusion.

    garethace, if you want to publish this amount of opinion in mono, maybe you shold get a diary or a blog or something. To be honest, I can’t follow anything you say, and frequently dont want to as it is not conversation, just diatribe.

    can someone give garethace a blog?

    Don’t forget there will be a nice plot of land available when the Ordnance Survey move to Dungarvan. Mountjoy House – currently on the ‘unsafe’ list from the OPW, will surely get a new lease of life after the mapmakers are gone

    i’d argue cad is still very much relevant as a tool for manipulating outputs of GIS tools. it’s still relevant – it’s just a bit down the food chain. There are function of Autocad that GIS tools can’t and shouldn’t ever provide

    speaking as someone who is intimatley involved in the GIS world and with ESRI I can tell you that the promise of GIS data is at present far greater than its exploitation

    by the way – ESRI have an irish operation if you want to pick up any of their ‘off the shelf’ packages

    i know nothing about them mind.

    i would have thought a good builder or general contractor could advise whether they were structurally sound without getting an architect in

    indeed. as a casual onlooker i find it hard to concentrate on any post that exceeds 10-15 lines. particularly if the post is debating with itself before anyone else even has a read of it.
