dc.descriptionAnd so it was that I stood on the Cruagh with Seán Ó’Faoláin and looked down over the grey, silent desolation of the city and spoke of what I, as an architect, had liked amongst that pile of bricks and stone. ‘Perhaps’, said Seán Ó’Faoláin, ‘there will rise out of that great waste a city such as we have only dreamed of !’ I wondered. I thought of prophets all over the old and new worlds—Aalto, Oud, Gropius, Corbusier, Wright. I thought of townplanners burning their midnight oil on the top fl oors of Baggot Street. I thought of architectural schools bursting with students and ideas. Yes, like a phoenix, Dublin would reappear, new and perfect and beautiful, planned with vision, rebuilt with knowledge. Not quite the same thing of course as Dublin, 1941, in all its magnifi cent and shoddy detail.en_US
