Entry to Dublin City Council and Codema, Imagine Energy Competition


Project Description

Conceived as a Beacon of Light, the ‘Energy Beacon’, consists of a Cast Transparent Acrylic Extrusion of the Dublin City Boundary Map. This extrusion sits on a Podium containing RGB Led Projection lighting (which is both programmable and remotely controlled). These Led’s are controllable in both colour and intensity to proportionally display the current Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Usage in Ireland and Energy Demands during different times or the day and year. Furthermore the Colour Tone of Each Individual Energy Source can be replicated in the associated Interactive Displays and Online\ Offline Resources. Should more specific Information be available now or in the future regarding the areas where renewable or non-renewable energy emulates (or should other sustainable factors also be considered), the Led’s can highlight these areas on a Geographic specific basis.

Overlaid on these Led’s, lies the Etched Outline of Dublin City on a Transparent Acrylic Sheet. The Podium serves as the Display of Interactive Information Panels. It is envisaged that the power required for the Led Lighting would be provided by Photovoltaic Panels, on the peak of the extrusion, which is at the optimum angle for solar radiation.

The ‘Energy Beacon’ seeks first to incite curiosity from a distance and animate its setting, drawing in citizen and tourist passers-by for closer inspection. Once the visitor is drawn in, the Beacon reveals a location specific map of that area with interactive displays highlighting the Ace Project, Renewable Energy, explaining the Current Energy Usage displayed by the Beacon and directing the Visitor to further Online and Offline Information. Once initially investigated, the Beacon stands as a constant reminder the objective to increase Renewal Energy Usage and progress of specific projects. Ultimately the Beacon will change its appearance and meaning over time as increased Renewable Energy is in use.

The ‘Energy Beacon’ can be location specific, currently based on an extraction of the Dublin City Boundary which can be replicated on a larger County or Country scale or indeed on a smaller City Areas or Neighbourhood basis. The accompanying Online and Offline Resources could follow the unifying identity of the Use of Tone and Intensity of Colours in its Graphics and be Geographically relevant through the use of Online Mapping.

And we eliminated Tokaido, which remains a favourite but has had consistent inventory issues since 온라인 카지노 mid-2021. One of probably the most well-known narde championships is the championship of Azerbaijan – Gizil Zar – Golden Dawn. Tables board with counters recovered from the Swedish 17th century warship Vasa.

Entry to RIAI Competition for Dublin City University New Entrance Project Description Aligned to either side of the Central Campus Avenue Axis at the main Entrance from Collins Avenue, a Concave Wall and Convex Arch are placed, derived initially from one solid form similar to the provision of education to a Student from a Teacher and University. Due to the confined nature of access from the right due to the Location of the Nursing Building, a Convex Arch is placed- pedestrians pass beneath this Arch receiving a sense of arrival. Due to the revised Road Layout discussed further in this report, a widening of the opening is possible to the left where an emplacing Concave wall is positioned. This subsequently widens further to form a new Plaza Area for Seating, Meeting, Eating, Performance and Sculpture Installations- adding to the existing Public areas of the Campus, which provides a renewed purpose for the Entrance area in addition to Vehicular circulation. Both of Curved Feature the h...

Design Ideas Competition for the RIAI, and Department of Education & Skills, Republic of Ireland: Designing Primary Schools for 21st Century Learners  Concept – just as the Dandelion grows, flowers and matures, the seeds- the children, leave to new beginnings. ‘There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity underthe heavens’ - Ecclesiastes 3 New International Version (NIV) Architecture: C. J. Falconer & Associate's design for a Primary School for 21st Century Learners, is derived from many layers. The initial planning of the design focused on accessing all areas of accommodation directly off the General Purpose Area- the initial layer, and there by forming a common meeting point and main thoroughfare of the school. The surrounding related concentric rings cater for inter related spaces and zoning. The nature of the design caters for a single storey plan – which lends itself to the accessibility of children and aids supervision. It was important that t...

Design Study- Viking Interpretation Centre, on the Site of a 9th Century Viking Settlement at Woodstown, Co. Waterford. Design Statement The Viking Interpretation Centre, on the Site of a 9th Century Viking Settlement at Woodstown, Co. Waterford, Ireland has been designed along an Axis running west to east to Views over the partially completed excavations present on the Site, the River Suir and the surrounding Countryside. The Centre is located on the gradual slope to the East of the Site, a sufficient distance from the extent of the past settlement. The Main Circulation route is aligned along this axis allowing visitors to connect to the significance of the site throughout their journey down through the building and into the past. This main circulation route is in the form of a gently falling ramp which closely integrates with the existing contours of the site. The uninterrupted nature of this central ramp provides universal access, can accommodate large groups of...
