Dublin October 5 2008


Image by infomatique
Grand Canal Square, an exciting new urban space in Dublin’s Docklands, was opened in June 2007. The square is located at Grand Canal Dock on the south side of the river Liffey between Sir John Rogerson’s Quay and Pearse Street.

Designed by American Landscape Architect, Martha Schwartz and developed by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the 10,000 sq metre square is one of the largest paved public spaces in Dublin city. The €8 million project is among the most innovative landscape design projects ever undertaken in Ireland and Grand Canal Square is expected to become a key cultural destination for Docklands and the city.

Grand Canal Square is located at the west end of Grand Canal Dock with one side facing out on to the water. The recently completed tinted glass office building designed by Duffy Mitchell O’Donoghue – No.1 Grand Canal Square – is on the south side, with the Daniel Libeskind designed Grand Canal Theatre on the east side and the Manual Aires Matues designed 5-star hotel on the north side of the Square. There will be shops, cafés and restaurants at ground floor level. Already, the first of these have arrived with ely-hq, Fresh and the art gallery, Urban Retreat already trading successfully. The Square is built over an underground car park at the centre of the Grand Canal Dock development area.

The Square features a striking composition of a red “carpet” extending from the theatre into and over the dock. This is crossed by a green “carpet” of paving with lawns and vegetation. The red “carpet” is made of bright red resin-glass paving covered with red glowing angled light sticks. The green “carpet” of polygon-shaped planters filled with marsh like vegetation provides seating and will connect the new hotel to the office development across the square.

Grand Canal Square is also criss-crossed by granite-paved paths that allow movement across it in any possible direction, while still allowing for the Square to host major public events such as festivals and performances. The layout can accommodate a diverse range of activities throughout the day and night.

AROUND THE WORLD BY BICYCLE

Heinz Stucke Visits Grafton Street In Dublin

Around the World by Bicycle

In search of adventure and with the desire to see something of the world, I started my tour around the globe in August 1960, from my home town of Hövelhof – Germany. I was 20. 17,000 km and 20 countries later I was back home but not for long. From November, 1962, up to the present day I have been cycling and travelling non stop. If this century is called the century of progress, the century of the atom and of space exploration, one has also to say that it is the century of tourism. Because of the modern forms of transportation, countries get closer to one another every day and millions of people travel.
Heinz Stucke
To travel is to learn something about one another, to meet people, to respect them and better still to make friends so that in the future we may live together in peace.

A few nice Bicycle Infomatique images I found:

Facility For Cyclists – under construction


Image by infomatique
The long awaited bike rental scheme is set to be up and running in Dublin city in the next two months. In a deal that was agreed in 2006, Dublin City Council in conjunction with outdoor advertising company JC Decaux are now in the final stages of rolling out the bike stations across the city. Bike stations are due to be completed by the end of June with 40 pick-up and drop-off locations from Smithfield in the west to the docklands in the east and from the Mater Hospital in the north as far as the Grand Canal on the southside.

The way it will work is that each station will have about nine bikes and busier areas such as the train and bus stations will have more. At each station there will be a slot-like machine, which will allow the user to "rent" the bike. The user will be able to pick the bike up at one location and pop it back to another station closest to their destination. This should make getting around Dublin city a doddle as well as having a positive effect on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion, and of course, it’s also a way of promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Dublin City Council is planning to charge €10 a year to join, with the first half an hour of rental free and very reasonable rates thereafter. Visitors to Dublin will be encouraged to rent a bike at a very attractive reduced fee.

In return for providing and maintaining all the bikes for the scheme, multi national advertising company JC Decaux will receive 100 outdoor advertising spaces in Dublin estimated to cost about €1 annually.(Source; Irish Times 1-5-09)

The same ‘bike for billboard’ scheme is currently operating in Paris. The bikes supplied by JC Decaux are well built, with three gears, un-deflatable tyres and are said to be ‘damage-resistant’. They also come with a lock and a bell to warn pedestrians that you’re coming through! However it has been reported that even though the bike rental scheme has been a huge success in Paris, there has also been a lot of vandalism and disappearance of bikes.

Other cities operating bike schemes include Lyon, Vienna, Seville, Berlin and Copenhagen. [Infomatique claims that he saw a similar scheme in Brussels ... he will confirm when he re-visits the city at Christmas]
