Building a house of cards?

摘要

Buro Happold Engineers have begun work on developing a multipurpose school building constructed almost entirely from cardboard. Andy Nicholson looks at the fire safety implications of using such an innovative building product. IN A project, partly funded by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR), Buro Happold Engineers is heading a team which aims to construct a building for Westborough Primary School, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, which uses cardboard components wherever possible.
