It’s sorta what happened with the ESB offices on Fitzwilliam Street in Dublin.
I think the obvious issue with the suggestion is that we wouldn’t really be “rebuilding”, but in most cases building to some sort of imagined past.
What buildings? We hardly have any of these old apartment buildings in Ireland.
Where the bits go the first time around? Was there photos to work off for the new ones??
Yes please.
We never had that post-war construction boom in brutalism or modern architecture, because we weren’t bombed to fuck and we had no money.
Making all those city apartments built in the 90’s 00’s conform to a modern European standard of living space and natural light with decent communal facilities – it is batshit to have 120 washer-dryers in a building. That would be something.
or just power wash some of them
Ireland is turning into one big Office, by the looks of it.
There is very strong revitalisation program in Germany that includes also private owners in some part of it that doesn’t exist here in Ireland. Having such a thing in Ireland would defo help improving quality of our lives.
Good old fucking Kaiserstrasse in Frankfurt. I remember it back in the 1980s! Sleaziest place I have ever seen.
