Archiseek / Ireland / News / 1999 / September 20 1999: Letters to the Editor: Modern Architecture in Dublin

It is regrettable to see so many objections to the major proposed developments for Dublin city, in particular the Millennium Spire and the Spencer Dock development which includes the National Conference Centre.

For years our capital physically suffered greatly falling into decay and dilapidation. Streets were reduced to surface car-parks or mere fields hidden by mawkish hoardings. Now, with our good fortune and wealth, we have a chance to make a substantial city of Dublin with landmarks and edifices for the new millennium and future generations.
