	Architecture: The Greatest Disasters
	posted by conor on January 13, 2007 at 2:52:00 PM CET

I would like to start a thread to see some off the results when architecture GOES BAD!

A couple of months ago, some sort of mutant, hideous building appeared from behind its green shroud in Dublin City centre. The city architects heralded it as a 'landmark' development. It is sited beside one of Dublin's most important building. But not only is this building absolutly disastrous, the 'public plaza' created beside it is worse. how can such a high profile firm like MBM arquitectes get it so wrong? Are the architects to fault for a system that allows input from politicians and planners that (in Ireland anyway) really dont have a fucking clue what good architecture is.

The initial planning application image

The actual building 'alot bigger' than it should be

Dont you just love those stainless steel nub detail. Skateboarding is not a crime,integrate it into the fucking design, and dont stick these nubs on as an afterthought

I wish I could cut in it half like Matta-Clark Discussion on; www.archiseek.com
