When a building speaks...
There are many different types of buildings in Ireland. The list goes on and on: residential, industrial, educational, institutional, and business.
A structure that talks to us, evokes emotion, and leaves a lasting impact is one that speaks to us. Personally, I enjoy a structure that stimulates my ideas, one that stops me in my tracks and says, "Look at me."
On Monday, June 25th, 2018, the Eir building off St. John's Road West in Kilmainham was photographed. This image was shot in raw using a Nikon D3200 with a focal length of 30, an f-stop of 4.5, and an exposure duration of 0.7692. Initially, the building would light up in rainbow colors during PRIDE, but the public response was so positive that Eir decided to keep the colors on for a longer period of time.
As technology continues to break through barriers, the use of lighting in various types of design is rising rapidly.
Eir has since ceased operations from this location; the lights are rarely turned on, and when they are, they are usually only one color.

Historically, construction buildings have been an eyesore while the development process is in progress. Traditionally, we are greeted with blank mesh canvases, while construction work begins beyond the scaffolding structure.
On March 5th, as I nudged the perimeter of my 5km bounds on St. Stephen's Green, I was halted in my tracks. On my Samsung A20 smartphone, I captured the image below.
For a variety of reasons, I am really impressed with the architecture of this building renovation. The design's red brick not only conceals the renovation, but also matches the red brick structure to the left. From the street below, the curtain effect lures us in to give us a glance inside the completed office complex. The imagery is amazing; a person stands on the top floor, peering out over St. Stephen's Green Park, creating a genuine illusion.
Savills has done an excellent job with this design, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Perfect.
