archaeology on the surface of the island. the elegance of this solution is it is anchored into the rock on either side below the sensitive archaeology, very clever. the materials we used were important notjust structurally, but also how it will tie into the landscape, the situation. for the bridge deck we have used mined slate, mined from the quarryjust two miles away. 40,000 hand split and hand cut slates have been laid on edge like after eight mints. one word that encapsulates the building is, it is not a very architectural word, but it is fun and the kind of project you can see so easily on the faces of users, and the enjoyment they are getting from the project and that is extremely gratifying. and now ourfinal building. 0ur mosque in cambridge. when i first walked in, i think you first enter up the stairs through the car park and you see the sweeping pillars, it is breathtaking, to be honest. the puzzle here was to try
a queue of wheelchair users from the local village queue up to be the first person to cross the bridge and onto the island something that they might not have done for many, many years. in my mind, this was a textbook example of how you should design a major piece of engineering in a really sensitive heritage or archaeological site. you could look at all sorts of designs for bridges that would actually have to go through the archaeology on the surface of the island. the elegance of this solution was that it s anchored into the rock on either side below the sensitive archaeology. very, very clever. the materials we used were important notjust structurally, but also how it tied into the landscape, its situation. for the bridge deck, we used delabor slate, which is mined from the quarryjust two miles away. 40,000 hand split and hand cut slates all laid on edge, like after eight mints. one word that sort of encapsulates the building, its not a very architectural word, but it s for me, i
because they had bad knees, they use wheelchairs whatever it was. now we have essentially step free access right from the car park all the way through onto the site, and it was so satisfying on the opening day to see literally a queue of wheelchair users from the local village queue up to be the first person to cross the bridge and onto the island something that they might not have done for many, many years. in my mind, this was a textbook example of how you should design a major piece of engineering in a really sensitive heritage or archaeological site. you could look at all sorts of designs for bridges that would actually have to go through the archaeology on the surface of the island. the elegance of this solution was that it s anchored into the rock on either side below the sensitive archaeology. very, very clever. the materials that were used were important notjust structurally, but also how it tied into the landscape, its situation. for the bridge deck,
