Ecobuild 2012 is sponsored by Schuco, who make solar power and heat (thermal) systems, glass, facades, etc.
Ecobuild claims to be the world’s biggest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment – although that claim doesn’t sound very ‘eco’. Bigger? I though Small is Beautiful. Anyway…
This show is focussing on “new eco thinking [...]

Hanse Haus make modular eco-friendly houses that are simple to construct and cheap too. They are ideal for quick builds on cheap land, as normal housing development involves buying expensive land. This means the new build property has to maximize the potential of the site, and be custom built, to get the best price on [...]
In the continuing series of articles we look at Team Building.
We will be expanding the range of subjects on this site.
Team building is needed in offices as the people might just ignore each other forever. So to generate some more work, some more cohesion, and reduce staff turnover, team building activities are organised.

There is a plan afoot to convert Riley’s snooker hall (once Jesters) on the corner of Wimbledon Park Road and Pirbright Road, Southfields London SW18, into a cinema.

Having been inside, it is a great building, proper full height ceiling and wasted as a snooker hall. Unless the vast space was for fag [...]
Who with what com is an initially interesting site which examines what some famous buildings are actually made of, and how they were made. Although the South Bank Centre in London is not in there. So don’t bother looking for your favourite building, just go with their small selection.
Perhaps it will expand over the [...]

We have been trolling about looking at other building and DIY websites. The BBC and Channel 4have lots of information online as they have many TV programmes about do it yourself, property development and property remodeling and refurbishment, although fewer now that there is a property crash, or stagnation in the market.
Channel 4 has a funny DIY [...]
We have just put on some pages about architects, architecture and builders in films and movies. This is not our usual thing but we felt like a change.
We don’t have a section for buildings only – not characters. Perhaps a short list might be:
Blade Runner – this seems to represent everyone’s idea of the future. [...]
