Why the aesthetics of buildings really matter
The aesthetic of a building is considered to be one of the most important aspects of architecture. However, there is more to a building than simply how it looks from the street. The purpose of spending time refining the aesthetics of buildings is to allow them to strike a chord with our emotions.
The challenges 2022 will bring for engineering and construction
During 2021, the construction industry was hit by constant disruption and uncertainty. The news across our sector has been dominated by a mix of supply chain problems, rising costs of building materials, climate change adaptability, and labour shortages.
