Does Liebeskind mean the plan for Dun laoghiare harbour? That plan includes and Irish diaspora museum, commercial unit, hotel and apartments. It is in Dub county – fits the bill, doesn’t it.
By the way, does anyone know of the Dun Laoighre plans progress?
No ideas here, I just hope archeire doesn’t turn into a site plastered with advertising and annoying pop-ups, like a lot of car sites (e.g. autoexpress.co.uk). I have liked archeire for its lack of advertising (thanks Paul), if the site needs ads to keep it up and running, go for it.
engineering firms?
Sorry, a bit slow in replying, thanks for the link Paul. Canberra was good in design of many individual buildings, but was far too spread out to get any feel of a central place. Trees were everywhere, with some interesting buildings hidden from the eye.
Just rememberded an awful building you see from the DART at Merrion. A Jurys Doyle hotel, I think its called.
Bungalow bliss and suburban housing have plagued our landscape for too long, sadly. Its now just in Dublin, I really hate seeing an horrendous ‘dormer bungalows’ plague barren landscapes like to Burren or Donegal.

Oh why, oh why can’t suburbia-box developers hire architects for developments?
I was in Canberra, Australia a few years back, and I was amazed at the housing estates. Each house was completely different in design and they each had their own circle of land around it. No semi-detatched housing! I don’t know if this was specific to Canberra, but I was very impressed.
Tall structures? sure, remember the spike they are supposed to be building for the millenium? I’m certainly in favour of the odd tall structures in Dublin, the chimneys in poolbeg have been looking rather neglected and are not a sign of a foward economy.
Anyway, what about the origional question?

I have to agree with when you say there are many worse buildings in Dublin over liberty hall.
The sight of the awful smoke is not very inspiring and the chimneys don’t really give any inspiration to the future. Just remember they planned to built four chimneys at poolbeg.
JJ, what will happen to the Luas at Ranelaigh (spelling a bit dodgy), will the line B which should be open 2003 stop there, or at harcourt or where, as future plans show it going underground at harcourt. The info at the tram display, I think was out of date, as it showed on street Luas to St. stephens green. How will it manage to get from elevated railway to undergound? Can you set the record straight?
with all the cost cutting, couldn’t they design the stadium with 80,000 seats and only build 65,000 now and add the remainder in a few years, when money might be more plenty than in a year or two?
Sheesh!
And… well there were many interestering buildings on display, like Norman Foster’s Canary Wharf underground station, probobly worth a quick look
wow, dublin is getting on, not one but two Calatrava bridges! I hope both bridges, especially Macken street bridge will do wonders for dublin.
