Entries urged to design 'landmark' pier building
A competition to select a "landmark building of international architectural significance" has been launched by Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company. The building is to replace the former ferry terminal at the Carlisle Pier - itself described by the harbour company as a site of international significance. Since it closed as a ferry terminal eight years ago, the pier has been the subject of a number of proposals - including one from international architect Mr Daniel Libeskind, who designed an Irish diaspora museum there.
