It takes money to sort Dublin out
As it would with any project the scale of cork dockands
And the purse is not kept down south:rolleyes:
Just a lot of false promises, but no infrustucture to facilitate development.
Its just a spade for cork and we dig and fall behind:(We need some high rise buildings in cork, probaby in a normal piramid style, tallest in the city center and graduateing towards the subverbs. But If we ever hope to see the docklands a reality in the next century maybe the planning athourites should curb very tall buildings in the rest of the city, After all is it not the CCC plan to rejuvinate the city centre and docklands, I think they might try sticking to there ideas :rolleyes: .
Would It be wrong of me to say that the only reason why we have not seen much development in the docklands is because the land has rocketed in value since it was earmarked far development, and maybe the only reason the suburbs are getting a lot of atention is because the land is cheaper and easyier to develop.
I wish we could keep the city centre as quality development zone where new buildings are in keeping with the ones that suround them by
1. style
or 2. materials, etc similar to concepts in other city’s, bath, edinburgh, etc I think the crawford art gallery exstention is a geat exsample of a mondern structure working in harmony with its suroundings, Where as that thing that they are sticking on to our city hall is an insult to my pride as a cork person and I can not say this any stronger then I would would like to lamp the people who did this abomination 😡 .Does anyboby know of any other buildings in Cork City, Where mondern design works well in complementing the old.
Is the winners entry to the right scale :rolleyes: because I think they are 3 to 4 stories! and copared to the other 2 to 3 story buildings close by, I would think that these biuldings were suited to the little people 😀
I would have to say I think the jugdes had no imagination too. If some of these people are involed in the what is allowed to be built in cork. Then 🙁I am glad that at least the other entries may get a look into, maybe by the developers!!!!
