The Structural Engineer, Volume 70, Issue 6, 1992
Structures to wonder at - on a ‘Desert Island’! I thought it would be a challenge to choose eight, and not more than eight, projects, present or past, which, for one reason or another, have intrigued me more than others and to see if there is a common thread and whether any conclusions can be drawn. Verulam
The paper describes the structural design and related construction matters of the first four phases of the Broadgate commercial office development situated adjacent to Liverpool Street Station in London. Aspects of the design discussed include the bored pile foundations, reinforced concrete basement, consideration of heave, composite construction frame, atrium steelwork, the central square, and details of the icerink construction. The interface with British Rail and below ground structures of London Underground is also considered. T.J. George, P.D. Skead and H.A. Taylor
Stuttgart’s Art Gallery opened in spring 1984 to much critical acclaim, and to celebrate the occasion a public reception was held for 7000 people. C. Balmond
