Article Abstract:

Construction firm and speculative developer Jarth has had four steel-frame and steel-clad detached houses designed for a site in a conservation area in Worcester, England, by architect John Edwards. The houses are situated close to the edge of the Severn River, and are supported on an open steel structure with long cross-braced legs resting on piles halfway down the river bank. This was a one-off project, but Edwards believes that this kind of steel system is suitable for any sort of location.

Article Abstract:

The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England, is housed in a Victorian railway warehouse. Architect Simpson Associates has designed new glass platform walkways that allow visitors to walk round the museum's two galleries and to provide them with protection when watching looms being operated. The project was partially funded by a Lottery grant.
