HEUSTON SOUTH QUARTER ANOTHER PLAN FOR THE AREA HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

HEUSTON SOUTH QUARTER - ANOTHER PLAN FOR THE AREA HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

I came across a new phrase this week and it is "Transport Orientated Development". TOD is a form of urban development that seeks to maximise the provision of housing, employment, public services and leisure space within close proximity to transport nodes (e.g. rail and/or bus) that are serviced by frequent, high quality services. I do hope that it is not as disappointing or regressive as Privately Owned Public Spaces or POPS.

As, yet another, Heuston Master Plan was announced this week [16 November 2021] I decided to revisit some photographs of the area as it was in 2016. Back then it was the Heuston South Quarter and was described as mixed use urban quarter located in an area of immensely important historic and cultural heritage. The development includes a full mix of symbiotic functions working closely to create a new urban quarter. The development includes residential, office, hotel, cultural and retail uses and required the development of new streets and public spaces. The 350 new residential units ensures the occupancy and lively redevelopment of the once neglected area of Dublin.

Heuston Masterplan Summary [New Plan]

Key features of the Heuston Station Masterplan include:

• Opportunity for a substantial quantum of mixed-use development (210,000+ sqm) including 1,000+ residential units;

• The creation of an exemplar of Transport Orientated and Sustainable Development;

• Provision of substantial new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure to include new cross-Liffey bridges, 5000 cycle parking spaces and high quality public realm;

• Opening up of circa 1km of river frontage and interlinking the green assets of Phoenix Park and IMMA;

• Safeguarding of ongoing transport operations and planned enhancements.

ZEISS BATIS 85mm LENS

Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount, Black

I HAVE THIS AND THE 135mm LENS

VERSATILE FULL-FRAME LENS: The powerful lens for the mirrorless full-frame system of Sony fulfills the highest requirements. Despite its compact design, the image meets the expectations of professional photographers. EXCELLENT RESOLUTION AND HIGH CONTRAST: Richly saturated and vivid colours are a must in the creation of lasting impressions. However, stray light within an optical system leads to a lightening of the image that is particularly noticeable in the shadows. This reduces image contrast, with the result that exposures lack contrast and appear faded. To avoid this, ZEISS combines various specially developed technologies to reduce the undesirable effects of stray light. ROBUST AND WEATHERPROOF METAL CONSTRUCTION: Thanks to features that are designed to keep out dust and spray water, the lens is perfectly suited for critical outdoor conditions. It is also designed for many years of intensive use. SMOOTH AND RELIABLE AUTOFOCUS: The design of the autofocus system requires an extremely accurate shifting of particular lens groups. The focusing system of ZEISS lenses is designed to ensure a robust and smooth-running autofocus mechanism with the best imaging performance.
