Grand Canal Dock
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
Grand Canal Dock is a Dublin docklands district that has undergone a spectacular urban transformation. Originally opened in 1796 as one of the world's largest docks, the area became derelict by the mid-20th century. Regeneration began in the late 1990s, converting the former industrial land into a thriving technological and residential hub. It is now famously nicknamed "Silicon Docks" due to the high concentration of European headquarters for tech giants like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The area is noted for its modern architecture, including the striking Grand Canal Square designed by Martha Schwartz. It is also home to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Ireland's largest fixed-seat theatre, designed by Daniel Libeskind. The district has become one of Dublin's most desirable and vibrant areas, blending history (such as the old Boland's Mill) with luxury apartments and modern offices.
