I would say that the slenderness ratio is just ridiculous. 60m is the highest for Dublin. what if a tower with 40m high? the tower is only 10mx10m and we still need to put 2 elevators and stairs and some circulation space?
Besides the north side of this u2 tower is just water, it’s not gonna cast any shadow on any buildings. what kind of sense to have a stupid slenderness ratio?I have to say this is the worst competition I have ever seen, poorly organized.
I have the same problem of the min. 9500 sqm and slenderness requirement. I don’t see all the entries they selected have a solution. Those requirement was a joke!!!I think maybe it’s a good idea to post other entries here since I don’t see they are gonna make a book of all entries.
Hopefully it doesn’t happen. FG is repeating his curved metal piece everywhere right now which is very sad.

….Also since the technical requirements of the brief were quite strict, perhaps over restrictive does this mean that they were used to justify restricting the opportunites so that others might transcend these requirements….if this is true, what a joke!
can anyone post the news?
It’s gonna be a ridiculous competition if we think it should be given to somebody just because he/she has a big name such as gehry. Is it fair to all the competitors?
if they really want a big name for this building, why don’t they just ask gehry, zaha, koolhass or whoever has a big name to have this project rahter than hold a competition.
P.S. this competition is the most confusing competition I have ever encountered. no clear schedule, hardly get a reply from them after you ask them questions via e-mail. difficulty of meeting the planning requirements.very expensive entry fee……
I totaly agree with shadow.
