@shalin43031@Telegraph Tragic that no country can rely on starlink or starshield, when unreliable president or billionaire can wake up in a bad mode & turn them off on a whim.
@pareekhjain Similarly. You could save the planet by making a litter bin from wind turbine blades. Just build a concrete base, add support frame of steel tubing, a metal inner container & a plastic lid.
@Rainmaker1973 Great place to generate electicity, above the charging e-cars. How about also relaxing planning laws to make it a bit easier to insert 2 stories of apartments between the car park & the angled solar panels?
@archpng Sorry to question the inspiring headline, but seems there must be three communal corridors, each shared between 9 flats, in order to access the central lifts? The architects might allow the bottom 6 flats to enjoy private 'no corridor' front doors on the exterior?
@archpng A rectangular building would also avoid grimness of big living room windows peering directly into big bedroom windows?
But the feel of more private lifts seems neat. That feel might increase a bit, if lift door could open centrally onto landing? That would be bit quieter?
@archpng I wonder how many buyers, like me, would prefer to live in a boring, but larger, rectangular building? I'd enjoy my much enlarged rooms and my cheaper purchase price. But sometimes buyers come behind architects' award fodder?
@vintagemapstore The idea of tilling a field, or building a wall, in Iran or Egypt, in current summer temperatures, seems a big challange. I'd guess North France has the current best temperatures for a full year of hard labour? Were temperatures comparable back then?
@archpng Was on banks of Seine for 8 hours 2 days ago. Only one barge, capable of 90 odd containers, padded every 2h or so, none full. Surprised how little freight demand there was between Paris & The Chanel at Le Havre
@histories_arch Last month spent 2 1/2 hours in the Morocco customs queue at Ceuta. Seems Moroccan officers' depressing jobs are to be as slow & methodical as possible, in order to irritate Spain.
@RolandBarbe@BiancoDavinci The ability to build living space over a road must also have been a saving too tempting to refuse.
It should be the norm in pedestianised areas that all new-buildings should offer protective pavements and pay air-rent to the town for the extra floor space allowed.
@AstronomyVibes Evil people will buy light beams at night to slowly nudge the earth out of its orbit & into a death spiral to the Sun. Trump; trust science; wexecute Reflect Orbital now.
@historyinmemes A fair point, now we're not navigating by sail, but put Beijing in the middle, & shift Africa to the edge of the map. African Union surely can't support England's imperialist 0 degree meridian?
@BeatlesEarth Huge surprise if nobody thought of taking a photo of this music event, or the barwork. Such an amazing occurance would be catnip to anyone with cameras, including snappers Paul & John?
