Child`s play

Chevin, D.

Child`s play - 1991 - Building 256(20) 17 May 1991, 48-51(4) .

Two examples from London are taken to illustrate an article on building to design s by Walter Segal . The structures are built around wooden frame s on stilts, thus obviating the need for expensive foundations and reducing construction costs by 40% or more. Simplicity of design, redundancy of `wet trades` and the use of standard materials are all features of the method.
