Phase A: Mapping your Community
Welcome to your community and its landscape
- Iveagh Gardens, St. Stephen’s Green, D2
Located in the most central part of Dublin. Historic and well known park, however very secluded and well hidden. Note in outline map: Stephen’s Green - Open, perimeter surround by road, noticeable Iveagh Gardens – surrounded by buildings, with no view in except for on the hatch street side Drop of 3m on Hatch St and Earlsfort Terrace, making it more hidden.
Spatial Characteristics: Designed by Ninian Nevin – functional, formal layout Sunken lawn: used as a sports pitch, originally for archery Waterfall feature Two fountains Rock area Rose Garden Yew Maze Sundial Wooded area
Socio-Economic Characteristics
Surrounded by wealth and consumerism, with gentrified suburbs close by. However due to its location so centrally in town, it may be prone to antisocial behaviour and with the homelessness crises there may be people sleeping rough in or around the park. Although the high surveillance of the surrounding areas hotels, businesses, NCH, means it may be safer than most town parks.
Business district: KPMG, Deloitte etc. [global companies] Hotels: The Conrad, The Dean, The Iveagh, The Shelbourne Shopping District Where the city meets the suburbs: Portobello, Leeson street, Ranelagh, Rathmines Gentrified area National Concert Hall
