      Hawkins House is thankfully gone, let’s move onto Liberty Hall or Phibsboro shopping centre.

      Kane Building in UCC, seen more aestheticly pleasing Soviet era apartment blocks

      Busaras
      Monaghan Bus Station

      In general all the generic small town Celtic Tiger retail-with-a-few-flats overhead type buildings, they are everywhere around the country – cheap, soulless and thrown up by builders who fancied themselves as architects. A blight on our nation.

      I know they’re not there anymore and some of you folk here are probably too young to remember them, but my god were the Ballymun flats the most grim looking things you’d ever seen.

      Merchant’s Quay shopping centre in Cork. The end facing Patrick St isn’t too bad I suppose, if a bit boring, but the side down along the river is a fucking eyesore.

      That cheap, rectangular prefab design of every single new build. Whatever the fuck that “style” is called

      DDC offices are extremely ugly to me. I’ll go against the grain here and say that liberty hall isnt that bad.

      Any infill buildings from the 90’s/00’s. 

      Tesco Aungier St & Baggot St. 65-66 mount street.

      As usual with these threads, rather than pick the obvious worst buildings, like a lot of the brutalist buildings and most of the extremely dull architect by numbers new housing and commercial stock (like the quays) people hate on generally decent if flawed buildings like busarus, liberty hall, the old central bank building and so on.
