Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Brian Duffy The Need for Vision: Tall Buildings in Dublin Brian Duffy Associate, Traynor O’Toole Architects – 49 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Abstract The Celtic Tiger economy in Ireland has dramatically changed the substance of life in Ireland within a very short space of time. Whilst the infrastructure has struggled to keep up, the urban realm has begun the process of rapidly transforming Dublin from a low rise city of urban sprawl, to a densely woven contemporary modern environment. The appetite to build tall is tempered by an apprehensive planning policy, that reflects the cautious mood of the general public. Such apprehension restricts the possibility of creating an of-its-time City that meets it demands sustainably, whilst fulfilling its high aspirations. The paper examines planning policies and how Dublin architects have pursued tall buildings, most typically in the city centre. This is then contrasted with an alternative approach on the edge of the city, where one major landowner and [email protected] design team have proposed an entire masterplanning vision, premised on the inclusion of tall buildings. This untypical approach yields notable success and, in doing so, highlights the need for a more proactive and interactive approach to Biography Briantall building Duffy qualifiedstrategic planningfrom Queens on behalf University of architects, Belfast, developers Northern Ireland, and planners before alike.

  • Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2
    SIR JOHN ROGERSON’S QUAY, DUBLIN 2 THE DOCKLANDS RE-IMAGINED 80,000 sq ft of exceptional office space, blending original warehouse features with spectacular modern architecture and design. Overlooking the water and located in the centre of Dublin’s docklands, home to the most successful and innovative global companies. 1 WHERE GLASS MEETS WATER A reflective design connecting innovation with history, the Tropical Fruit Warehouse is a truly unique office environment which has been crafted to maximise views over the River Liffey and Dublin’s skyline. 2 3 ‘A SENSE OF FLOATING ABOVE THE RIVER’ PAUL O’BRIEN, HENRY J LYONS ARCHITECTS ‘ The unique context of the site provided an opportunity to create an architectural set-piece – a contrast of old and new. The resulting design is a composition consisting of interconnecting rectangular buildings, a grounded historical warehouse building beneath, and a modern, cantilevered floating structure above. The modern building is an uncompromising design of a ‘twin skin’ full glass box envelope, with a view out over the bridge. Externally, the glass box facades create the sense of a transparent ‘jewel’ floating above the heavier masonry facades of the historic warehouse below. Internally, the views out of the floors give a sense of floating above the river.’ 4 5 HISTORIC TIMELINE Marine School Founded for the education of the orphans and children of distressed seamen, the Marine School sat on River God Keystones 1766 the site of the Tropical Fruit Warehouse. The two granite figureheads representing Anna Livia and Atlantic that hang over the doors of the Tropical Fruit Warehouse are the original keystones taken from the old Carlisle Bridge (the structure predating O’Connell Bridge) in 1870.
