Figure 3.3/21

Royal Brompton Hospital, South Parade, London. Drawn using aerial views available on the web and street plans, it is possible to capture a fair amount of detail. However, there are always hidden features and a site visit is essential. Working just with aerial views it is often difficult to judge heights and level changes, and of course aerial views will tell you nothing about existing basements and below ground infrastructure.

Figure 3.3/22

Threadneedle Street, London. Façade design requires input from many disciplines, not least from construction engineers who have to consider transport, logistics and buildability. With the renewed interest in the economic and sustainability credentials of pre-cast concrete, the system illustrated here was proposed for the Threadneedle Street project with Eric Parry Architects but eventually abandoned in favour of a different aesthetic.
