In Dublin, a new district is being built on the site of the former docks

Dublin - Work has officially begun on the reconstruction of the docks in the Irish capital, Dublin, where a completely new cultural and administrative district will be created. This will include office buildings, as well as galleries and a theater designed by American architect Daniel Libeskind.
    The southern part of the former docks south of the River Liffey is expected to have a more recreational character. In the new square, whose main landmark will be Libeskind's theater for 2000 people, there will also be galleries with cafés and restaurants, as well as a five-star hotel. The northern part of the docks is to become a financial district, primarily with office buildings. The total costs of the project are estimated at around 400 million euros (about 11 billion crowns).
    The theater with a glass facade, resembling a diamond, is set to be completed in two years. In addition to it, visitors will also be attracted by the 100-meter tall U2 Tower skyscraper. The building, named after the famous Irish band U2, will have a music studio for music stars in its upper floors.
    Sixty-one-year-old American Daniel Libeskind is considered one of the world's architectural stars. His projects include the Jewish Museum in San Francisco, the City Museum in Osnabrück, the new wing of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and extensions to museums in Denver and Toronto. He also designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and is the author of the reconstruction of Ground Zero, where the skyscrapers of the New York World Trade Center (WTC) stood until September 2001.
