    Warum nehmen wir den Charakter aus allem heraus und die Dinge sehen so allgemein aus?

      The existing building isn’t that old, nor is it in character with Dublin Architecture

      Jaysus. I know the old centre was not an architectural marvel, but it’s infinitely better than the new proposal. It’s so unoriginal and lacking in style- this site is a prominent Dublin landmark site and needs an appropriate building to match

      I must be in the minority, I love the old building .
      Granted the shops are shite in it and it’s a bit run down but I think it’s a lovely building.
      Pity it’s on the South side .

      Had no idea the current version was so hated.

      Big fan of the current place and the sort of 1900s train station vibe to to the the ceiling in there.

      And for whatever it’s worth, tourists fucking *love it.*

      So is this definitely going ahead? I love the current building and it would be a shame to change it.

      SDCC fucked up the wonderful green space in Lican village replacing it with concrete amphitheatre (!). Brain dead stuff

      I don’t have an issue with replacing SSGSC but this new proposal is hideous and, frankly, too low – didn’t the last proposal have some apartments?

      People are going to moan about the old building, would façade retention be totally economically unviable?

      Holy shit. Is that for real? That looks like AI after one lackluster prompt.

      If it really is real I feel like the proposal went downhill significantly from the first one

      Current one is a waste of space, fuck all shops in it and it’s only used for Instagram photos.

      Who is the asshat architect who designed this dog’s bollocks? Name and shame.

      No, please, save the tired-looking 80s conservatory that answers the question “can you have too much natural light in a building?”

      Living in Dublin for 2 years, this is one of the nicest buildings in Dublin. I don’t know anything about architecture but this building has a certain quality that I can not describe easily

      I love the current building. Like a Georgian greenhouse, and full of interesting, independent stores. We don’t need another mcmall.

    26. No-Pear5980 on

      I’d love to get rid of the existing building but the new proposal is bland and boring.

      The dome and the iron cladding is pretty gorgeous looking when walking up Grafton street. The clock and arches inside are constantly getting pictured and is always full of natural light. It needs a redesign and refresh Vs whatever the fuck corporate bullshit this is. We are completely devoid of taste in this country when it comes to architecture and all our beautiful buildings were built by the British. The absolute monstrosities that have been constructed constructed in this country are only ours to blame, and this trend seems to continue.

      Ireland is awful for this. It’s nowhere near as bad in comparison but Arthur’s Quey in Limerick got a similar treatment. There was also a tonne of traditional Dutch style buildings built by wealthy traders from the Netherlands that have all been demolished. The last of them to go were on the street next to the milk market and they weren’t looked after before the destruction but they even had gargoyles on the roofs. They were removed within the last 4 years I don’t remember exactly when. The last of the Dutch buildings standing are across the street from treaty city brewery and they’re not even original they’re recreations

      Everybody knows it just going to turn out horrible looking, wish they could have kept the exterior and just revamped the interior

      There’s a petition going to prevent this from happening. I think it has the 29th as a deadline, so everyone please sign it!

      “Preserve our skyline”, but somehow they’re okay with tearing this down
