The lecture was about the London's famous shard building. Uh, the shard building is not just, uh, building, it's also a new symbol for London's infrastructure. Uh, they were very innovative engineering techniques that were used in the construction of the shard. Uh, O, one of that was the top down construction. Where the foundation was excavated and put down concrete at the same time, which reduced the construction time by almost three months. And this was certainly.

It is about the shard, the London's tallest building and the symbol. So many were involved in build constructing this, such as top down construction. I.e. Foundation and cons, uh, construction has been made at the same time, which took around three months. So, lifts were used to carry people and the materials to the top of it. Sapphire, which is the famous glass, were not carried directly, but it was assembled and the three hundred pieces at the top of the building

the latter is all about london's tallest buildings and also it included a skyliners and the new engineering techniques where it talks about top-down construction. it has 23 stories where they are talking about construction time which is having sky scrapers with jump lifting people and the materials are only in the internal people and rather they are not using outside materials. so it is all about construction of a building.

was the main topic of the lecture. firstly, she mentioned saying that there are several new engineering when this building was built up to reduce the timeline for the three months. this building reduces the timeline for building three months. in the way, she also mentioned saying the key points like lift shaft, which also transported people and transported materials within a weaker way of transport within the higher steps. she also mentioned, saying 300 meters of the building, where within one month, overall the lecture was about the london starless building and focused upon the lift.

Here there is a discussion about shard, which is one of the best new symbols of London and it blends into the skyline with ease. There are several, uh, other stories that are there, but it has significance because of the top down construction. In this new technique was used to build this shard building till twenty third story and it reduced construction time by three months. The lift shaft had a jumping higher than normal, which was used to transport materials up and down. Also the spire, which was having a great shattered glass appearance and looks three hundred meters in the air.
