B of the Bang Update

Thomas Heatherwick - B of the Bang (2005)Over the past year, a few subscribers have unsubscribed due to "too many updates". No apology, folks.

Now here's the conclusion: Thomas Heatherwick Studio Ltd has agreed to pay Manchester City Council £1.7m in an out-of-court settlement (title link). Ouch! I guess the moral of this story is that art and engineering don't always mix well.
