The Anonymous Widower

High Buildings And High Winds

This tragic story from Leeds about high winds round a high building is a cautionary tale.

All too often we don’t fully test a building’s affect on the environment properly, before it is actually built.  Look at the problems of the Walkie-Talkie in the sun.

I tend to not linger in the bus station at London Bridge, as sometimes the downdraught from The Shard is more than too much for me.

The only thing that would make architects think more, is if one of these troublesome buildings had to be demolished.
