Yarışmalar-Competitions

Yarışma Özeti(Summary):
Dublin City Council is currently developing and implementing an ambitious new plan for the area known as the 'North Fringe'. The central objective is to develop an urban character set within a coherent spatial framework and facilitating sustainable densities linked to public transport. The area will contain in excess of 7000 new housing units and 93,000.00 Square meters of mixed use. An opportunity now exists to complement and consolidate the urban framework planning of the North Fringe Action by the provision of a flagship contemporary urban park which will be at the heart of this new urban quarter of the City. The redesign of the existing Father Collins Park, with an area of 35 hectares, presents such an opportunity. The central location of the park on the proposed main boulevard, defines it as an important community focus and a critical element of the public realm. The proposed design treatment will, therefore, be critical to defining the character, sense of place and identity of the North Fringe area.
