    Construction works are now underway on Italy’s new Centre of Mediterranean Culture. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the 24,000 square metre building in Reggio Calabria will include galleries, conference spaces and an aquarium. In a statement released to mark the laying of the first foundation stone, Zaha Hadid Architects said: “The new Centre of Mediterranean Culture will complement Reggio Calabria’s existing archaeological and art museums by exploring the profound relationship between Calabria and the Mediterranean Sea that has defined the region’s past and will continue to shape its future.” 📷 ZHA / NightNurse #architecture #construction #engineering

    London’s £4.5BN new “super sewer” is now fully connected. With all of its 21 sites brought online, the 25-kilometre Thames Tideway Tunnel is already starting to protect the River Thames from sewage pollution — around five and a half million tonnes of sewage has been diverted so far. Before the new tunnel, heavy rainfall could see London’s combined storm and sewage system fill to capacity, then overflow straight into the River Thames. Now, that material will be diverted into the tunnel and carried out to a treatment centre at Beckton, ultimately leading to a cleaner and more biodiverse river for the UK’s capital. Sitting deep beneath the city’s streets, the tunnel is one of Britain’s most impactful infrastructure projects, but one that most Londoners will probably never see or fully appreciate. Works first started in 2016 when more than 20 deep shafts – some as wide as the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral – were constructed across London to divert sewage flows and to lower tunnelling boring machines (TBMs) into the ground.  The primary tunnelling work kicked-off in 2018 and was largely complete by 2022. In May 2024, the new Thames Tideway Tunnel was connected to the existing 7-kilometre Lee Tunnel. The combined system is now known as the London Tideway Tunnel (LTT) and will provide protection for the entire tidal Thames.

    Two 21-storey office towers could be constructed next to London’s famous Barbican. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) for developer Lipton Rogers, the project at 1 Silk Street would see the demolition of an existing 1980s building to make way for the new, taller structures. These renders have emerged as part of the planning consultation process. Subject to feedback, it’s understood that a full planning application could be submitted in the Spring. If approved, the project could complete by 2032. 📷 SOM #architecture #construction #London

    This 42,000 seat new stadium is set to be constructed in Egypt. Designed by Gensler, the venue will become home to the Al-Ahly Football Club and is intended to act as a “cultural and economic catalyst” for the region. The stadium bowl will be partly set into the ground due to height restrictions imposed by the nearby Sphinx International Airport. In a statement, Gensler explained how that positioning will also help the venue to benefit from cooler earth temperatures, reducing ambient heat. At night, the stadium is designed to be a visual landmark, with a digital façade and illuminated roof. 📷 Gensler #architecture #construction #engineering

    These rare images, shared exclusively with The B1M, reveal how one of the UK’s most secretive and secure buildings was constructed. Since its completion in 2003, the “doughnut” shaped structure near Cheltenham has been main HQ of the Government Communications Headquarters, the UK’s intelligence, security and cyber agency, known as GCHQ 👉 https://bit.ly/3EwhhOa The 90,000 square metre complex houses thousands of intelligence professionals, including analysts, linguists and engineers who are working 24/7 to keep the UK safe. Designed with some cutting-edge engineering, the building’s circular layout is intended to optimise communication and collaboration, just like the intelligence networks it supports. From deep foundations to state-of-the-art security systems, this is a project that pushed the limits of modern construction and infrastructure. Enjoy these images, it’s the closest you’ll ever get to seeing inside. © Crown Copyright, by kind permission Director GCHQ #construction #architecture #engineering #GCHQ #security

    Wrapping up the 2024 IBP Awards with a visit to The B1M’s office to deliver the Media Brand of the Year Marley Cup. Our Chair Harriett Hindmarsh presented it to Fred Mills, Founder and MD. 2024 was the first time the team has won this award. Commenting on the win, Fred said: “This is fantastic recognition of The B1M’s impact, the quality of its journalism and the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. The past year has been our most successful to date on every front. To be named Media Brand of the Year is a serious coup for us and the perfect way to cap a remarkable period of success. “Starting a media brand from scratch isn’t easy and few people ever truly see the struggles behind the scenes. To have reached this point is incredible and I hope it stands as inspiration to all those currently in a similar fight to keep going. No matter how many people tell you something is impossible, it can in fact be done.” Congratulations from all of us at IBP! #IBPAwards
