Customs House, Dublin.

http://www.iol.ie/~ronan/Images/Dublin/Custom-House.jpg

^^I quite like the Customs House, but like many/most historic buildings in Dublin it suffers becuase of a lack of appreciation and the compromising context of its surroundings. The loopline bridge, liberty hall and a couple of decrepit buildings in the general vicinity ruin a perfectly, elegant and classical Georgian building.
Being a history fan, my fav buildings would usually have an abundant/interesting history attached to them, rather than being just superficially impressive. So, Christchurch and Dublin Castle would standout, but both again are ruined by their 20th/21st century context!!!


Anyway, more Customs House pics...

Will post some older ones later. Or someone else can if they want to.

Like the look of the Foyle Bridge; reminds of some of the cool bridge designs in Norway.

I'd say national convention center in Dublin, should be included in this list aswell ;)

I actually personally dislike that building, but then this thread isn't just my fav buildings. Some pics:

Can't make my mind up about the convention centre... Think it'd look good with the proposed 150m hotel rising up behind it!!!

Great thread, guys. Keep them coming!

^^
Beat me to it... Was gonna post pics of the Boyne Valley passage tombs. Love Knowth myself with all the satelitte tombs surrounding it. 5,500 years and not a single leak; that's def worthy of great structure.
Would love to witness the solstice or an equinox!!!

Nice selection of Ulster manors/castles, Connor. Florence Court looks like a Palladian gem!!!

double post; think we need to get over this page!!!

Forgot about Newgrange! Love it too. Must be the oldest fully intact building in Ireland. I love the castles and big houses around Ulster Nordisk celt83 :) I think my fav is Castle Ward or Belfast Castle... (which hasn't actually been posted yet) so here it is...

Powerscourt looks beautiful. As does the paving, etc outside the GPO, very slick and tidy.

Hahaha just love the second one Nordiskcelt!!! Classic art form altogether! It's up there with the spire :-)

^^ I think its the smug, satisfied smile that makes it so masterful.

Established by the Norse in 1030, present structure built in 1172, largest crypt in the UK and Ireland, burial place of Strongbow and much much more...
And what do we do??? Leave it in the centre of a major traffic junction, yellow boxes and traffic signs everywhere...

Will we ever learn??? This place needs a proper piazza infront of it!

Both St. Patricks and Christchurch in Dublin are beautiful buildings , especially when seen lit up at night - and especially at the moment with the snow

Sorry to carry on the theme, but another deeply unappreciated treasure is Dublin Castle. Carpark in the lower courtyard and the horror that is the revenue building just across from it.
Completely disconnected to its surroundings, one could visit Dublin without realising its smack bang in the middle of the city.
It was once part of the streetscape, and it would be wonderful to see this again. This can be achieved by demolishing the revenue building and the 1960's building the George and Yamamori are in on George's street... Voila, the lower courtyard looks out onto George's Street and directly down onto Exchequer/Wicklow street.

Love the interior of St. Patricks. Have to say, Christchurch is just one of many buildings in Dublin that makes me sad. There's no other city in Europe that would leave such an ancient building to decay amidst fumes and fumes of traffic.
It's impossible to appreciate so many buildings in Dublin because of bloody traffic, traffic signs, double decker buses and massive trees in front of the most important buildings, while grotty non-descript streets that could do with a bit of green lie bare.:bash:
Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rant mood today!

Great pictures and really loving this thread. I'm ashamed to say that still haven't seen many of these. Two places I really want to see the most are the Aran islands and the Skelligs. Just look at those cliffs! Amazing.

^^
Skellings are amazing; there were whales and dolphins surfacing when we went out there, and then the monastic site itself is just magical. (when you get up to it)
Aran Islands are a bit meh!!!

Don't forget Terminal 2!!

Yeah, it's main the naval base. I guess it's out of bounds for tourists... There was a fire there a while back that destroyed a couple of buildings IIRC.

Anyway, this thread has died a bit of a death. I'll have to download some pics I have on my desktop!!!

Might as well stick to the regional theme...

Beautiful pictures ! :)

Yep, stunning :)

OMG this thread is stunning, the pictures are sensational :)

A picture here from Limerick City Centre, note St Johns Cathedral, the tallest in the country at 308 feet, the picture reminds me of a world war 2 picture!

I love the idea of putting Dun Aengus as a great monument of architecture. I was lucky enough to walk near the cliff and look out over the ocean thinking that Newfoundland and Canada was on the other side. I'm also partial to Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin. It was built under the auspices of Oliver Cromwell, not the kindliest dude, but architecturally stunning. I worked on a Christmas display of different countries customs in 1988 in a part of this huge building before it became a museum.

Yeah, the Royal Hospital is in good enough nick for a building constructed in the 1600's. Think it could do with a lick of paint or have the original brick-work revealed!!!

I also like some of its neighbours, which are a bit off the beaten track from the city centre!!!

Yes, Euston Station looks great too, and I really enjoy the sight of the beautiful light rail alongside it.
