The Shard

A really interesting article on some of the technical challenges faced when constructing the basement of the Shard.  Amazing building.  Even more amazing is the fact that they are currently only a couple of weeks behind programme.

Makes me wish I was back in the industry…

About

This is my experimental worklog. It will probably turn out to be largely about stakeholder engagement, design evaluation and *judgement* in the construction industry. Plus, a smattering of teaching practice and principles here and there, probably...

We will see how this develops, but I'm intending to use it to keep track of the odd snippets overheard in the media, read in papers, etc. So I can keep track of them all before they are synthesised into final work.
