Surprisingly, this site is distinctly lacking in poetry, with ne'er a mention that the River Liffey herself is a goddess. Yet another beautiful site designed by Volta Digital Media. The site aims to heighten awareness of architecture within Ireland, and to foster international awareness and dialogue. With a wealth of news, current events, information and architectural resources, the site provides not only an excellent forum and meetingplace for the architectural community in Ireland, but also plenty of information for people simply interested in finding out about the old hidden architectural treasures and new developments in Dublin and Ireland. With all hope, it will be expanded further, but be sure to check out the section entitled Irish Architectural Archives.

2000 Archiseek featured in The Architectural Review Archeire's online architectural directory has been featured in the March issue of The Architectural Review. Based in Dublin, and with an understandable slight Irish bias, the site is mainly a directory to others in the English speaking world. The 'history' section is amazingly eclectic and numerous, with entries as disparate as Gehry's Bilbao Guggenheim, Castles of Wales, and the Islamic Architecture of Isphahan. Archiseek's architectural associations and organizations list is certainly worth consulting , as is its guide tp publications, both electronic and on paper. Noticeboards and other interuser areas clearly work but could be imaginatively expanded.
