London Trip

I spent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in London, on a college trip, aswell as looking through various art galleries, I also had the chance to visit the NLA Building Centre, where sustainable housing materials and products were on show.

I also visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, where I thought was an exhibition on sustainable living, however I found that the Medevil architecture exhibition had been extended to the end of this month. although I did find the general architecture exhibition very useful and informative.

The highlight of the trip for me personally was visiting the Gherkin Building. I did not realise how large it actually was. I did know the dimensions and facts about the building, but nothing can actually contemplate the size of the building in the flesh, I am still amazed at how big it actually was.

I also had the priviledge of viewing the Loyds Building, by Richard Rodgers, a building that I was not intentially interested in, due to my interest entirely on the Gherkin, however viewing and knowing about the functioanlity if the build, I now appreciate the whole structure.
