      >In the single submission made on the application, architect and urban designer Angela Rolfe stated that the serial parking ramps represent “a very fine and rare” example of brutalist architecture in Ireland.

      Jesus fucking wept.

      I think it’s time for a tragically and inadvisably overloaded truck to plummet directly down through the ramps after the driver was called away to chase a seagull.

      Planning officers when someone suggests we get rid of the misery architecture and build a modern country.

      If nothing else it shows we don’t have a lot of iconic landmarks to preserve if Dublin’s getting rather het up over a set of carpark ramps and a pair of industrial chimneys from the 1970s.

      It’s 2125. Humans use site-to-site teleportation for all transport needs. Dublin airport has been transformed into a parkland. The DAA has not been able to disband owing to the requirement to retain its buildings according to a number of judicial reviews. All staff required to run the airport are still employed. They now provide fun runs for children on old airport equipment around the disused runways.

      T1 is an eyesore. The airport needs every inch of space to be functional. The idea that anyone gives a fuck about spiral ramps is incredible.

      Last time I read about these, they hadn’t been used in 20 years.

      That was at least 10 years ago.

      Some of the most economically valuable real estate in the country.

      This country doesn’t stand a chance.

      I love those things. As a kid way back in the 80s they looked so modern and gave the airport an apocolyptic sci-fi kinda vide. Trust me. And I still have nostalgia for them. And I’m one of those wierdos that likes brutalist architecture. But yeah, knock em t’fuck and quit coddin around. Awful messin.

      Ah cmon lads, think of the tourism potential….

      *”Come see our spirally ramps in the car park. Fucking Antoni Gaudí level architecture”*

      Another example of why our planning system isn’t fit for purpose. Letting a derelict parking garage ramp, that hasn’t even been used for decades, prevent actual useful development of the most important transport infrastructure site on our island. Utterly ridiculous.

      > which the council consider to be of technical and architectural interest.

      Are they having a fucking laugh!!???

      That’s ridiculous. Fingal county council shouldn’t really have the power to delay or halt development of one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in the country. 

      To suggest that those yokes are of architectural interest is utter nonsense. There’s nothing either unique or interesting about them. It’s just some ugly concrete shit that they needed to reach the car park.

      The country had lost is mind when parts of a multi story car park are of architectural interest and cannot be touched. This is actually insane.

      Not for keeping them if they serve no purpose. But will say when going to the airport now and when I was a small kid they always did look cool. If you go to any large airport you’ll see the ramps on parking buildings but never attached to the airport terminal itself.

      But it’s an airport not a museum.

      >to be of technical and architectural interest

      This is what’s wrong with this country.

    19. boiler_1985 on

      It’s like we’re not allowed any type of modernist interesting architecture in this fucking backwater of a country.

      Airports should be exempt from having buildings listed out and things like that.

      Yes I know the original terminal is a reasonably nice looking art deco building, but if it could have been knocked down capacity of the pier Ryanair use could have been increased easily.
