The steel erection started on the northwest corner, which is where the café and the Saint Clare Reading Room are located, as well as the main entrance to the building.

Interesting combination of lines. I dare someone to find something like this in the city where I took this photo. :)
Structural shoring towers supporting a section of wall prior to Building 2 demolition at the VA Canandaigua Medical Center construction project, Canandaigua, NY, March 12, 2020.
Last night there must have been a freak wind from the east (Irene..?,).in that two of the four bamboo pole bean supports this morning were flat on the ground .Foresicic investigations have indicated that the design engineer made a major boot in his calculations and four of the duct tape joints failed simultaneously. Repair alternatives are presently being studied (BY SAME REPROBATE ENGINEER) and remedial construction is due later this week.
Taken during a recent live fire exercise we had. More pictures and a timelapse of the house burning down on my blog.

I had just finished telling Ian how Taiwan seems to usually not take shortcuts when it comes to engineering and infrastructure. Container columns make me rethink this statement.

Model for Skipton House
The collaboration between client London & Regional, structural engineers Heyne Tillet Steel, MEP Engineers Atelier 10, planning consultants SM Planning and architects Piercy&Company will transform the existing Skipton House building in Elephant and Castle.
An emphasis on sustainability and adaptive re-use led to the strategy of retaining six of the current seven storey steelwork structure and using this to support a six floor steel and cross laminated timber extension. The architecture reflects this structural stratification, with a raw and industrial aesthetic contrasted with warmer toned elements and tactile surfaces.
The 280,000 sqft uplift in area will allow the building to contribute 490,000 sqft of workspace to Elephant and Castle. The large work floors have been flexibly designed to accommodate both large and small businesses, and a triple height garden on the 7th floor provides a generous and distinctive amenity space to the building, with dramatic views over London.
The scheme will both enhance public space to the south of the building and create a new flexible exhibition, retail and foyer space within the building on the ground floor of a central atrium. Whilst the building is a commercially-led scheme, the ground level is conceived as a public platform for cultural events, exhibitions and performances. Inspired by the theories of Cedric Price, the space has been designed to be robust and completely flexible, with elements such as a gantry crane and a cascading stair to combine a theatricality with a calm pragmatism.
The project embraces the principles of a circular economy reusing and refurbishing rather than demolishing and building anew. The use of responsibly sourced CLT structure for the extension further supports this goal, while adding warmth and character to the building. The ambitious embodied carbon reduction agenda is supplemented by a new high-performance building envelope that will minimise operational energy use. Features such as the vertical fins on the extension will provide solar control and add texture to the building façade, while allowing expansive views and ample daylight into the office space.
“We designed the workspaces to be adaptable in terms of internal vertical connectivity and subdivision. We also worked to soften the distinction between tenant and landlord space so that tenants feel connected to the experience of the building as a whole. Workspaces are collected around the theatre like central atria,
cascading stair, gardens and events spaces creating a campus atmosphere. There is a purposeful modesty to the architecture in terms of structure, palette and detailing, reflecting on the direction of workspaces in the face of dramatic changes in both behaviour and economics.” Stuart Piercy, Founding Director.

Supermodels - an exhibition of super architectural models by the Piercy&Co studio - opens 25 November at Regent Quarter, Kings Cross. Piercy&Co will install eight moving and animated models across the eerie setting of an empty central London building site. Supermodels represents the distillation of 20 years of the studio’s design thinking around the importance of the haptic, sensorial and experiential in architecture.
The mechanical automata, projection mapping, sound, light and scent employed by Piercy&Co in Supermodels are not the everyday techniques and products of an architectural project. Rather, they are a creative body of work and an experiment in how far the model can be pushed as a tool for communicating architectural ideas. The models were made over a five year period in Piercy&Co's London studio by the architectural team, between and around projects.
Each super model is based on a building by Piercy&Co - some built, some unbuilt - and abstracted to capture the kernel of the idea behind the building. The ‘coming alive’ of the models through film, sound and movement plays into the mysterious allure of objects with a miniature life of their own - the dolls house, the cuckoo clock, the model railway. The evocation of delight is intentionally egalitarian - an exploration of a mode of architectural communication that is ageless and universal. Supermodels seek to reconnect digital and physical worlds through a childlike sense of wonder and unfiltered joy.

The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.

Part of Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture (July-October 2014)
The American architect Louis Kahn is one of the great master builders of the 20th Century. Kahn created buildings of monumental beauty with powerful universal symbolism.
...This new exhibition at the Design Museum explores Kahn’s work and legacy through architectural models, original drawings, travel sketches, photographs and films; bringing to life his singular career and diverse output.
