In this video we look at some of the striking and interesting modern architecture in the Dublin Docklands district. The tallest buildings are a fraction of the size of tall buildings in New York and Chicago. There are similarities to Manchester and Liverpool, for instance the Calatrava bridge in Dublin is similar to the one in Manchester and almost identical to Puente de la Mujer in Buenos Aires. To see the script in English and German, please turn on the subtitles!

Here are the important questions to be answered:
1. Many people say modern architecture is 'boring'. Is that true of the Dublin Docklands?
2. So far the Dublin Docklands have only allowed buildings of well under 100 metres. Should they allow much taller buildings, like the proposed U2 Tower?
3. Can old and new co-exist? Many older buildings have been retained and incorporated into new, state-of-the-art buildings.
4. My architect friend says buildings like the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre are showy, dishonest and even corrupt. Is he right?
5. Could Manchester's Hacienda have been redeveloped in a similar way to the Fruit Warehouse
