The redevelopment of St Stephens Green Shopping Centre has been approved by Dublin City Council. The plans will see the façade of the Dublin shopping centre removed as it currently is with its Mississippi Steamboat design in favour of a glass and red brick façade. But are we erasing an important part of the architecture of our capital city or just something that didn’t look so great anyway?
