Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Brian Duffy The Need for Vision: Tall Buildings in Dublin Brian Duffy Associate, Traynor O’Toole Architects –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.
