Sandyford comes under fire from architect

The Irish Independent

The current spate of suburban office development in the Sandyford area of Dublin has come under heavy fire from an architectural expert. A new model for working and living is urged to provide a proper framework for the area by Noel Brady, School of Architecture, DIT. Writing in a special urban regeneration issue of Irish Architect magazine, he argues that "a new model must arise if we are to avoid a redundant and empty landscape that is emerging on the edge of our cities".
