    how is it radical? its viable and achievable with proper management.

    a person who couldnt care less wouldnt suggest anything, merely point out the biased idiocy of your remarks. i on the other hand have a vested interest because of geographical, familial, and future interests in the issue. i am more aware than most of the frivolty of martin cullens proposals, and the unenforcable nature of national planning policies. planning officials operate under their own edicts, and ultimately this is allowable in the sense than local strategies must be adhered to to avoid centralisation of what is a distinctly rural issue.

    your habit of accepting wholesale the word of policy and plans which are always made to be broken, and your acceptance of them as gospel while it suits you, undermines any arguement you have regards these issues to which you seem insistent on remaining almost entirely ignorant

    you’ve said the “countryside is an amenity believe it or not”. its an amenity but an amenity that people live in, farm, bring their children up in, create employment in, produce goods, services and tax in. cluster development as a principle is fine. but to insist on clusters as a requirement to procure planning only promotes the activity of developers in rural areas, who can blindside locals and planners alike, and end up ramming dozens and hundreds of houses up on substandard sites, which are sold on to blow-ins and oppurtunistic outsiders who see a rental dollar to be made.

    an option would be to have councils able to compulsarily purchase tracts of land, suitably located for small clusters of housing. then sell off plots to people, services provided, who can then either puchase approved plans and build accordingly, or apply for planning on their own for an appropriate alternative building. architects and urbanists could be employed in the initial stages so that informed decisions could be made from day one, and if policed properly by council officials and planners, everyone involved gets what they want;
    structured and sustainable development.
    decent standard of architecture and construction.
    shared services and minimal environmental impact.
    affordable and attractive options for locals to stay in their community and become part of that same communal structure, and also people who have valid reasons for relocating to an area could become better accommodated in that transition

    I think to confuse the two to too much of an extent is a problem – expressed by the recent City Architect or City Geographer thread here at Archiseek.

    At the end of the day, I know a very many architects nowadays are trying to be geographers and a very many geographers are trying to be architects.

    It is a crazy and confused world we are growing up in people.

    Very, very nice ESRI Volumes, tonnes of stuff.

    not the prettiest thing in the world but functional and legal, and no doubt less than 14 grand.

    that helix is just a bent ladder. seems very expensive for the product. the fact that the website has “architecture” in its name means the mark up can be unjustifiably hooj.

    get a decent engineer who has experience in conservation. architects are crap at this stuff unless they’ve specialised. i recommend fourem, see em at http://www.fourem.ie. good lads.

    if they cant help you i’m sure they’ll recommend someone else who can

    its a shit box. too descriptive and exclusive. its underlying message is to engineers and builder clients who reckon they can do fancy houses, which is if you cant do a clever house, dont bother, just build a carbon copy of what your neighbour built 50 yrs ago and we’ll allow it. Anything even remotely out of the ordinary applied for without the involvement of an RIAI member will be chucked out on the basis that it isnt in keeping with the surrounds.

    Mike Shanahan and associates are a bunch of conservative assholes who contradict themselves constantly in this cartoonlike colouring-pencil book

    Easy to see why you did Architecture and not English although if there was a degree in hate studies you’d just have to turn up for the exam, you’d get a 1.1[/B]

    your problems run a lot deeper than that budday

    Its nice to be able to exchange comments and point of interests as a slight aside to the drudgery of everyday work. Theres only so many specifications i can write and so many hours photoshopping i can slave away at before i need to see something of interest. someone highlighting an interesting building or asking a question, perhaps venturing a point of view for discussion……

    your posts are extremely long, laborious and disjointed, making them difficult to read, unrewarding for those who reach the end, and nigh on impossible to reply to with out a hot head or tongue stuck firmly in cheek. your habit of nulling everything you write 5 minutes later is quite annoying too. if its good enough to post, leave it there. just dont leave all 5,000 words of it there. thats an essay, not a post as i see it.

    why you and diaspora are getting up on your “everyone hates me” horse i dont know. people are just trying to lighten the tone and kindly point out that in recent times there have been many many many random thoughts expressed incoherently on this forum. its gets trying.
