BT Tower

Built in 1964 its definitely an icon but a somewhat awkwardly dated and ugly thing. The 1990s forgot about what was a one off nothing followed it to Bloomsbury and it has stayed alone. Ocassionally it's the focus of children in need or some other charity but now it's looking old and tired I m starting to love it...
Join me tomorrow for exclusive pics from inside the tower.

Civilengineered purposive intent

Easily the world's biggest industry, yet often the driest and least entertaining industry. Civilengineered cuts through the dullness, with the occasional light hearted look at whats hot and what not in Civil Engineering.

Sometimes my own opinion sometimes posts from others i like, and not often enough some of my holiday pics.

Get involved join the fun, lets find out what's interesting from what we do round the world.
