Asbestos cement clad bungalow, this building was basically a wooden frame covered in asbestos cement sheeting.
The walls both internal and external, ceilings and cavity insulation (asbestos softboard) were asbestos cement sheeting.
The roof tiles were also asbestos!
A truly delicious confection, with similar partition wall, but extraordinarily and in complete contrast with quite a well made, banded front wall from period bricks. The cogwheel or circular saw motifs on the walls echo perhaps some communist industrial logo. The smart new door also harmonised with the rounded romanesque archway of the `1880s

The Rail Diesel Car, better known as simply RDCs, became a popular self-propelled contraption designed by the Budd Company in the late 1940s. They were clad in the company's attractive stainless steel. Since the RDC could be operated singly or in tandem it is also known as a diesel multiple unit or DMU. The car was 85 feet long and could hold 90 patrons. For power it featured two Detroit Diesel V6 prime movers (originally used on tanks during World War II), capable of producing between 250 and 280 horsepower each and mounted beneath the floor. The purpose of duel engines was quite calculated. Engineers allowed them to operate independently from one another so in the event that one failed the other would be able to allow the car to finish its journey without being stranded. Since the Rail Diesel Car most often, particularly during its early years, operated singly this added feature came in extremely handy and resulted in few incidents of breakdown out on the main line.
The original RDC-1, which sold 239 units was essentially a basic coach. However, the next model to be released, the RDC-2 (which sold 67 examples), was a combination design with seating for only 70 passengers and the rest of the space designated for baggage or mail (and included a sliding freight door). The next model was the RDC-3, also 85 feet long which was a combination/Railway Post Office (RPO) and could seat 48 passengers (48 of these were ultimately purchased). Then there was the RDC-4 design. Interestingly, this unit held no passengers at all and was meant only as a baggage/RPO. It sold just 14 units. Finally there was the RDC-9. It could best be described as a "B" unit since there was no cab with seating only available (for 94) and was meant to operated in tandem with an early, cabbed model. Surprisingly, the original Rail Diesel Car was always Budd's bestselling design. Altogether the company sold 404 units to numerous Class Is, and other railroads. Systems like Amtrak, BC Rail, VIA Rail, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and others all continued to use RDCs through the 1970s and 1980s. Even today, VIA still operates a few.

Steel construction: Two leather clad structural ironworkers perform torch work on massive steel connection of large steel truss. Each is working off of a rope supported plywood temporary work platform about 50 ft in the air. Each ironworker has fall protection from body harness, safety lanyard, and tie off to top chord of steel truss independent of the work platform. Ironworkers working at height on a small temporary platform in the dark behind welding masks are in an extremely vulnerable situation that requires secure fall protection.

What is one to make of this confection? It is really quite quirky. The balustrade wall is a rare accompaniment to stone cladding. The gate posts are tall and slender, and have been created at the opposite end from the front door . The darker clading inbetween floors mimics the moulded features of the original house, seen on its neighbours and precludes any random use of colour elsewhere in the cladding. The use of a sea green banding beneath the guttering is baffling. Windows are replacements in a faux Georgian style.

A vernacular wood frame building with a slate-clad gable roof, the structure is called "The Cradle". It has an exterior brick chimney at the end; the windows are double-hung sash, 9/9. The foundation is brick; and steps and a small entry porch led into the colonial law office(although I don't know if these are original features) .
The sign outside reads as follows: "In 1775, the Session of Hanover Presbytery met in this building, the law office of Nathaniel Venable, to lay final plans for the establishment of Hampden-Sydney College. The building was erected between 1737 and 1756 on Venable’s Plantation “Slate Hill”, located 3 miles southeast of this site. It was moved to the campus in 1944."
The college has been in contiuous operation since November 10, 1775. This was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 as part of the Hampden-Sydney College Historic District. #70000822

Fine stone cladding, fine net curtains. Excellent monochrome work, nicely covering decorative yellow and red brickwork as seen either side. Original window apertures have been retained and sash-effect replacement windows installed which look quite acceptable. The door, on the other hand...
The wall is quite disappointing.

BAKOKO Director, Alastair Townsend designed and oversaw construction of the Cutty Sark Pavilion whilst working at Youmeheshe Architects and Designers, London. The cutting edge visitor center was built within a restricted budget and met a tight construction program of only 6 months from design to completion. The fast-track structure was the first building in the world to be designed using Bentley’s Generative Components parametric computational design software.
Cutty Sark is one of the world’s most famous sailing vessels. After being decommissioned, the historic clipper ship has rested in a dry dock in the centre of historic maritime Greenwich where it served as public museum. Grimshaw Architects in association with Youmeheshe Architects and Designers were commissioned to design a cutting-edge visitor centre within and beneath the ship as part of a 27 million pound conservation programme that required closing the attraction for a complete restoration overhaul.
The Cutty Sark Pavilion was built to provide an exciting and memorable temporary exhibition venue. It is dedicated to telling the story of the ship and the ambitious project underway to save her whilst she undergoes restoration and construction works. Originally, it was designed to remain on site during the Cutty Sark’s restoration and the construction of a Permanent Visitors’ Centre (taking 2-3 years). After serving its role in Greenwich, the structure will be disassembled and re-erected elsewhere; possibly serving as a remote classroom, museum, or exhibition space dedicated to telling the tale of Cutty Sark to audiences abroad.
The Pavilion’s role as a public face of the ambitious restoration project became all the more important when a devastating fire ravaged the ship in the early hours of May 21st 2007.
The design aim was to achieve an experience evocative of walking amongst the sails, masts, and rigging of a majestic sailing ship like Cutty Sark. Spherical steel nodes connect a hexagonal timber gridshell structure. A complex tension network of steel cables and masts give rigidity to the overall structure and prop the PVC fabric cladding with telescopic masts.
Tight integration of 3DCAD information between the design team and the contractors enabled the structure to be quickly designed, modified, and built. Digital manufacturing of elements such as the CNC’d structural timber components and the digitally tailored fabric cladding were vital to delivering such an ambitious structure in a mater of months.
Bentley’s Generative Components computational design software was utilized in designing the amorphous shape of this complex structure, giving an unprecedented level of global control over every element. Fairly radical adjustments to the structure’s design were possible even in the latter stages of design. This proved vital in meeting the tight program as well as reaching a cost-optimized solution.
The first building of it’s kind in the world, the Cutty Sark Pavilion’s experimental nature met the client’s demand that the temporary visitor center be relevantly engaging and intriguing in order to capture the public’s interest.
A natty little porch with sloping roof has been built to remove any trace of the rounded arch with keystone (as next door) The natural choice of finish is stone cladding. Some of the mortar is a bit messy. One can't fault the wonderful pebbledash which masks the yellow brick with red banding. Mid to late 1880s I guess. The stock brick wall belongs to next door, but provides contrapuntal interest.
