In the era of air quality and obesity death and misery I really wonder why the @NetworkRailKGX @networkrail license a massive sweetshop with a smelly diesel generator on the kings cross forecourt.

@hughpearman It’s an unbraced moment frame! (That probably doesn’t help either!). A goal post.

Any structural engineer out there care to explain in a nutshell what a 'sway frame structure' is? I've looked it up and am none the wiser.

@Mariaisasmith @MayorofLondon @JamieDean__ @JulesPipe @sabrodrigues61 @ONS By my very rough recconing we have a pretty comfortable 36m2 each so it’s a distribution problem (notwithstanding the growing population).

@SteveWe10097337 @MayorofLondon @JamieDean__ @JulesPipe @sabrodrigues61 @ONS data for spending on construction for 2019 were actually released yesterday so why not do a little spreadsheeting. Here's £ spent on housing per person in regions in England in 2019.

Really exciting to see Amsterdam planning a post-coronavirus economics not based on growth or disregard for planetary limits. @MayorofLondon can we do the same for London please? @JamieDean__ @JulesPipe @sabrodrigues61 theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…

@Mariaisasmith @MayorofLondon @JamieDean__ @JulesPipe @sabrodrigues61 Yes and yes! How many square metres of residential housing per person exist in london already? If we just redistributed and slowly inhibited it’s investment potential would we be ok?
English
@SteveWe10097337 @MayorofLondon @JamieDean__ @JulesPipe @sabrodrigues61 Yes and yes. If the objective were to ensure equal access to adequate housing as opposed to building investment portfolios, we wouldn’t have a housing crisis let alone the delusion that we could build our way out of it.

A-stone ishing ! Our first seismic resistant stone staircase post tensioned ! A wonderful collaboration between architect craftman and engineers ! Model is proudly displayed at @BuildingCentre @SteveWe10097337 @WebbYates_BRS @WebbYates @nessnorwood @Rob_Fiehn
Foster + Partners@FosterPartners
The central feature stair is supported through post-tensioned cables running through the stone with no other visible supports. Preserving the purity of the staircase and offering a feeling of lightness, the balustrades are made from thin glass tubes with a timber handrail.
