Christoph Lueder - Detail Lecture

This remarkable lecture was very compelling. It was presented by our own Kingston University Lecturer, Christoph Lueder(First Year Lecturer). It challenged the way in which detail is represented in everyday life and situations.

The most compelling for me however was the detail that wen t into an elevator shaft, by the Architect Ian Ritchie. It simply amazed me!! The contemporary structure is quite complex with a series of steel wires, which vary in size, and have completely different jobs, which are unique in keeping the shaft alive. There are also a series of connections, shown in the second image which are holding the glass in place, and resisting compression and tensions forces. Sublime!!!
