Dublin´s Metamorphosis (EASA 08 conference audio)


(EASA conference, August 2008: “Listen to audio file here” : radio.indymedia.org ,1 hour 20 mins)

Discussion chaired by Frank McDonald, journalist with The Irish Times, on a broad range of architectural and developmental issues that have become apparent in Celtic Tiger Dublin. Contributors include Dr. Gary Boyd, Ciarán Cuffe TD, Robert Ballagh and Siobhain Ní Éanaigh. The majority of the speakers were very critical of Celtic Tiger Ireland, a change from previous "architectural discussion". <b>“The talk happened in Docklands "white elephant", CHQ, aka: Stack A.” </b>

Sunday August 10 2008 was the day of the discussion, day after the worst rainfall that Ireland had ever seen in the month of august, <b>“a wake up call if ever there was one of how we have to adress climate chaos...” </b>

"“Finally the realizion of Maggie Thatchers demented vision of there being no such thing as society” "

"“The end of the boom is something we should welcome, there will enter a period of recession, we can think about what legacy we have left...” "

So were 2 of the phrases used by Frank Mc Donald in his summary and introduction to over 400 architectural youth from all over Europe, who came last summer to our island to participate in a 2 week summer school exploring in Dublin and out west in Letterfrack, the theme of "adaptation"

1 - Intro from Frank Mc Donald 2 - Dublin architect Siobhain Ní Éanaigh explains about the river, boardwalk and other plans 3 - Dr. Gary Boyd, Scottish architect teaching in Cork school of architecture, talking about “public city, the politics of space and control, housing apartheid etc...” very good to hear these views expressed. 4 - Ciarán Cuffe TD for the Green party and architect, Dublin and its contrasts and green dreams. 5 - Robert Ballagh, artist and social political activist, talks about how CHQ was nearly the city art museum as well as his take on the city.

At some stages during the talk, the panel discussed the "local community" at the other side of the big walls, Sheriff Street and North Wall, 2 years ago I did a radio interview with Mary Cummings from NWWC, North Wall womens centre, in which she describes her story of a changing town.

This talk was followed by the GREEN AND BLUE walk, one of the many post talk city wanders, this one walked along a possible Dublin city greenway and food production zone, the Botanic Spine.
