Everyone one I know hates this thing. It was choosen by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland. The rules of the competition was to design something that would look elegant and fit in with the existing architecture. Well, who thinks a towering 120 meter metal spike fit's in with georgian architecture? “The spire”, normally refered to at the spike, or “the Stiffy near the Liffey” was the result of a competition to design the replacement to Nelson’s pillar.
