Surely one of the greatest buildings there ever was, & a stunning testament to it's time, yet destroyed by neglect & short-sightedness. It breaks my heart that I never visited, but alas - I was too late. If I was a rich man I would have it rebuilt, even if just to experience it's rare atmosphere (there are few similar examples left, & none so awe-inspiring), but in the meantime I can only be grateful that videos like this exist to help us imagine & remember. RIP.

My thoughts exactly. To have all the money in the world and rebuild it eh?

It’s such a pity that they demolished it. I love Brutalist style architecture. They knew how to design a building and make it practical at the same time. I would have loved to have explored this fine building, especially to see what lifts there was. There was a lot of lift blocks about. Sadly I was only 3 and a half when they knocked it down. It’s a pity Ireland didn’t really have many examples of Brutalist architecture. There was a few buildings but most now have been demolished like the poor Tricorn Centre at this stage.

Great work. So sad that this was demolished, so much could have been done with it. Imagine all the car parks except the main multi-story as public gardens with trees and grass and other parts of the building could have been utilised as art galleries, museums and performance spaces it would have become a real asset to the city. Sadly now we just have a car park and stalled plans for a very bland shopping quarter.

Such a beautiful building. How anyone can call it an eyesore is beyond me. Wish I'd been able to visit it :(

I too got lost there when I was 5! It just proves that parents found the place so awe inspiring, they forgot to mind their children!

By the time that it was demolished, it had been in a horrible state for years, beyond repair. Had it been maintained better, it could have been great. I'm gutted that because of my age (I'm 22), I never got to appreciate it that much, but I still have distant memories of my mum leading my around Charlotte's Superstore.

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for putting this up - it was like a trip down memory lane. How hard would it be to use this 3D model as the basis for a level in a game? Say Counterstrike or similar? Again, great work.
