Post Graduate Architectural Dissertation:Access and transportation are intrinsic to the function of a large capital like Dublin and should be at the forefront of any discussion on development. In the context of the present debate about transport and in order to reimagine how the inner city might operate and develop in the coming years, it is first necessary to study its core. Dublin City comprises two mass networks divided by a body of water, the river Liffey. This places the centre of the city in this urban valley between north and south. Unlike the vast majority of modern cities and historical urban developments alike, the centre of the capital does not take the form of a building, monument, or place of assembly. It could be argued that the city lacks a tangible point of focus and instead, the space in between north and south seems to play the part of an indeterminate city centre.
