design<00:03:33.879> a<00:03:34.000> bridge<00:03:34.319> that<00:03:34.480> would<00:03:35.000> open<00:03:36.000> and
design a bridge that would open and
design a bridge that would open and
opening<00:03:37.200> seemed<00:03:38.040> I<00:03:38.080> mean<00:03:38.319> everyone<00:03:38.640> loves
opening seemed I mean everyone loves
opening seemed I mean everyone loves
opening<00:03:39.319> Bridges<00:03:39.840> but<00:03:39.959> it's<00:03:40.239> quite<00:03:40.519> a<00:03:41.239> a<00:03:41.400> kind
opening Bridges but it's quite a a kind
opening Bridges but it's quite a a kind
of<00:03:42.040> basic<00:03:42.439> thing<00:03:42.640> I<00:03:42.720> mean<00:03:42.879> I<00:03:42.959> think<00:03:43.159> we<00:03:43.280> all
of basic thing I mean I think we all
of basic thing I mean I think we all
stand<00:03:43.879> and<00:03:44.120> watch<00:03:44.400> but<00:03:44.640> the<00:03:45.120> the<00:03:45.280> bridges<00:03:45.680> that
stand and watch but the the bridges that
stand and watch but the the bridges that
we<00:03:46.040> saw<00:03:47.040> that<00:03:47.200> opened<00:03:47.560> and<00:03:47.720> closed
we saw that opened and closed
we saw that opened and closed
it<00:03:50.480> I<00:03:50.560> don't<00:03:50.680> know<00:03:50.799> if<00:03:50.920> this<00:03:51.040> is<00:03:51.319> I'm<00:03:51.480> slightly
it I don't know if this is I'm slightly
it I don't know if this is I'm slightly
squeamish<00:03:52.400> but<00:03:52.640> the<00:03:53.120> um<00:03:54.079> you<00:03:54.519> I<00:03:54.640> once<00:03:54.840> saw<00:03:55.079> a
squeamish but the um you I once saw a
squeamish but the um you I once saw a
photograph<00:03:55.840> of<00:03:55.959> a<00:03:56.120> footballer<00:03:56.959> who<00:03:57.079> was
photograph of a footballer who was
photograph of a footballer who was
diving<00:03:58.280> for<00:03:58.480> a<00:03:58.599> ball<00:03:59.239> and<00:03:59.400> as<00:03:59.519> he<00:03:59.840> was<00:04:00.000> diving
diving for a ball and as he was diving
diving for a ball and as he was diving
someone<00:04:00.680> had<00:04:00.840> stamped<00:04:01.239> on<00:04:01.439> his<00:04:01.599> knee<00:04:02.280> and<00:04:02.400> it
someone had stamped on his knee and it
someone had stamped on his knee and it
had<00:04:02.680> broken<00:04:03.159> like<00:04:03.439> this<00:04:04.439> and<00:04:04.959> um<00:04:05.720> the<00:04:06.200> and<00:04:06.480> and
had broken like this and um the and and
had broken like this and um the and and
then<00:04:06.879> we<00:04:07.000> looked<00:04:07.200> at<00:04:07.319> these<00:04:07.519> kinds<00:04:07.760> of<00:04:07.879> bridges
then we looked at these kinds of bridges
then we looked at these kinds of bridges
and<00:04:09.000> just<00:04:09.239> couldn't<00:04:09.799> help<00:04:10.000> feeling<00:04:10.360> but<00:04:10.599> that
and just couldn't help feeling but that
and just couldn't help feeling but that
there<00:04:10.840> was<00:04:10.959> a<00:04:11.120> beautiful<00:04:11.560> thing<00:04:11.840> that<00:04:11.959> had
there was a beautiful thing that had
there was a beautiful thing that had
broken<00:04:13.640> and<00:04:14.360> so<00:04:15.239> this<00:04:15.400> is<00:04:15.840> in<00:04:16.040> Paddington<00:04:16.560> in
broken and so this is in Paddington in
broken and so this is in Paddington in
London<00:04:17.160> and<00:04:17.280> it's<00:04:17.400> a<00:04:17.519> very<00:04:17.680> boring<00:04:18.079> Bridge<00:04:18.400> as
London and it's a very boring Bridge as
London and it's a very boring Bridge as
you<00:04:18.600> can<00:04:18.759> see<00:04:19.040> it's<00:04:19.359> it's<00:04:20.040> just<00:04:20.239> steel<00:04:20.880> and
you can see it's it's just steel and
you can see it's it's just steel and
Timber
and<00:04:24.960> but<00:04:25.199> instead<00:04:25.560> of<00:04:26.120> what<00:04:26.320> it<00:04:27.000> is<00:04:28.000> our<00:04:28.240> Focus
and but instead of what it is our Focus
and but instead of what it is our Focus
was<00:04:28.759> on<00:04:29.240> the<00:04:29.400> way<00:04:29.960> the<00:04:30.120> way<00:04:30.280> it
worked<00:04:42.840> so<00:04:43.000> we<00:04:43.160> like<00:04:43.360> the<00:04:43.520> idea<00:04:43.800> that<00:04:43.919> the<00:04:44.080> two
worked so we like the idea that the two
worked so we like the idea that the two
furthest<00:04:44.880> bits<00:04:45.120> of<00:04:45.280> it<00:04:45.560> would<00:04:45.759> end<00:04:45.919> up<00:04:46.120> kissing
furthest bits of it would end up kissing
furthest bits of it would end up kissing
each
other<00:04:59.280> we<00:04:59.400> actually<00:04:59.759> had<00:04:59.840> to<00:05:00.000> half<00:05:00.240> its<00:05:00.479> speed
other we actually had to half its speed
other we actually had to half its speed
cuz<00:05:01.000> everyone<00:05:01.240> was<00:05:01.400> too<00:05:01.600> scared<00:05:02.039> when<00:05:02.160> we
cuz everyone was too scared when we
cuz everyone was too scared when we
first<00:05:02.600> did<00:05:02.759> it<00:05:02.919> so<00:05:03.080> that<00:05:03.199> to<00:05:03.400> speed<00:05:03.680> it<00:05:03.919> up<00:05:04.919> a

so we realized we had to make a project
so we realized we had to make a project
that<00:09:42.680> would<00:09:42.839> be<00:09:43.760> seeds<00:09:44.480> some<00:09:44.680> kind<00:09:44.800> of<00:09:44.920> seed
that would be seeds some kind of seed
that would be seeds some kind of seed
cathedral<00:09:46.079> but<00:09:46.279> how<00:09:46.440> could<00:09:46.560> we<00:09:46.680> show<00:09:47.000> these

was trapped in the Amber gave us some
kind<00:09:56.440> of<00:09:57.000> clue<00:09:57.800> that<00:09:58.000> these<00:09:58.640> tiny<00:09:58.959> things
kind of clue that these tiny things
kind of clue that these tiny things
could<00:09:59.640> be<00:09:59.800> trapped<00:10:00.160> and<00:10:00.320> be<00:10:00.480> made<00:10:00.640> to<00:10:00.839> seem
could be trapped and be made to seem
could be trapped and be made to seem
precious<00:10:02.000> rather<00:10:02.240> than<00:10:02.399> looking<00:10:02.680> like<00:10:03.120> nuts
precious rather than looking like nuts

um<00:10:04.519> so<00:10:05.240> the<00:10:05.480> challenge<00:10:05.839> was<00:10:06.079> how<00:10:06.200> are<00:10:06.360> we<00:10:06.480> going
um so the challenge was how are we going
um so the challenge was how are we going
to<00:10:06.680> bring<00:10:07.000> light<00:10:07.560> and<00:10:07.920> expose<00:10:08.480> these<00:10:08.720> things
to bring light and expose these things
to bring light and expose these things
we<00:10:09.760> didn't<00:10:10.000> want<00:10:10.120> to<00:10:10.360> make<00:10:10.640> a<00:10:10.839> separate
we didn't want to make a separate
we didn't want to make a separate
building<00:10:11.640> and<00:10:11.800> have<00:10:12.000> separate<00:10:12.480> content<00:10:13.000> so
building and have separate content so
building and have separate content so
we're<00:10:13.320> trying<00:10:13.519> to<00:10:13.680> think<00:10:14.160> how<00:10:14.320> could<00:10:14.480> we<00:10:14.640> make
we're trying to think how could we make
we're trying to think how could we make
a<00:10:15.079> whole<00:10:15.920> whole<00:10:16.279> thing<00:10:17.040> emanate<00:10:17.640> by<00:10:17.760> the<00:10:17.839> way
a whole whole thing emanate by the way
a whole whole thing emanate by the way
we<00:10:18.079> had<00:10:18.240> half<00:10:18.480> the<00:10:18.600> budget<00:10:18.920> of<00:10:19.040> the<00:10:19.160> other

parked<00:14:36.440> it's<00:14:36.680> actually<00:14:36.920> only<00:14:37.240> the<00:14:37.440> first
parked it's actually only the first
parked it's actually only the first
couple<00:14:37.959> of<00:14:38.079> flaws<00:14:38.600> that<00:14:38.720> you<00:14:38.920> really
couple of flaws that you really
couple of flaws that you really
experience<00:14:40.240> and<00:14:40.399> the<00:14:40.560> rest<00:14:40.759> is<00:14:41.000> just<00:14:41.160> for

postcards<00:14:42.560> the<00:14:42.680> lowest<00:14:43.079> value<00:14:43.399> is<00:14:43.600> actually
postcards the lowest value is actually
postcards the lowest value is actually
the<00:14:44.000> bottom<00:14:44.399> part<00:14:44.600> of<00:14:44.880> a<00:14:45.079> tower<00:14:45.440> like<00:14:45.680> this<00:14:46.160> so
the bottom part of a tower like this so
the bottom part of a tower like this so
if<00:14:46.440> we<00:14:46.560> could<00:14:46.759> chop<00:14:47.120> that<00:14:47.320> away<00:14:47.920> and<00:14:48.079> give<00:14:48.199> a
if we could chop that away and give a
if we could chop that away and give a
building<00:14:48.680> a<00:14:48.880> small<00:14:49.399> bottom<00:14:50.399> we<00:14:50.560> could<00:14:51.199> take
building a small bottom we could take
building a small bottom we could take
that<00:14:51.639> bit<00:14:51.839> and<00:14:52.040> put<00:14:52.199> it<00:14:52.519> at<00:14:52.680> the<00:14:52.839> top<00:14:53.199> where<00:14:53.320> the
that bit and put it at the top where the
that bit and put it at the top where the
greater<00:14:54.079> commercial<00:14:54.560> value<00:14:54.920> is<00:14:55.079> for<00:14:55.199> a
greater commercial value is for a
greater commercial value is for a
property<00:14:55.720> developer<00:14:56.560> and<00:14:56.759> by<00:14:56.920> linking<00:14:57.360> these
property developer and by linking these
property developer and by linking these
together<00:14:58.320> we<00:14:58.480> could<00:14:58.639> have<00:14:59.040> 90%<00:14:59.720> of<00:14:59.880> the<00:15:00.120> site
together we could have 90% of the site
together we could have 90% of the site
as<00:15:01.240> a<00:15:01.639> rainforest<00:15:02.639> instead<00:15:02.920> of<00:15:03.079> only<00:15:03.320> 10%<00:15:03.839> as
as a rainforest instead of only 10% as
as a rainforest instead of only 10% as
scrubby<00:15:04.440> trees<00:15:04.720> and<00:15:04.920> bits<00:15:05.079> of<00:15:05.240> road<00:15:05.639> around
scrubby trees and bits of road around
scrubby trees and bits of road around
buildings<00:15:07.120> and
so<00:15:11.320> so<00:15:11.560> we're<00:15:11.720> we're<00:15:11.920> building<00:15:12.399> these<00:15:12.839> these
so so we're we're building these these
so so we're we're building these these
buildings<00:15:14.079> they're<00:15:14.279> they're<00:15:14.480> actually
buildings they're they're actually
buildings they're they're actually
identical<00:15:15.480> so<00:15:15.680> it's<00:15:15.880> quite<00:15:16.279> cost<00:15:16.560> effective
identical so it's quite cost effective
identical so it's quite cost effective
they're<00:15:17.040> just<00:15:17.160> chopped<00:15:17.560> at<00:15:17.759> different
they're just chopped at different
they're just chopped at different
heights<00:15:19.160> but<00:15:19.480> the<00:15:19.680> key<00:15:19.920> part<00:15:20.600> is<00:15:20.839> trying<00:15:21.120> to
heights but the key part is trying to
heights but the key part is trying to
give<00:15:21.880> back<00:15:22.360> an<00:15:22.519> extraordinary<00:15:23.079> piece<00:15:23.240> of
