easy-guard fire upgrade coating / paint

It is for this reason that the Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI's) Fire Safety Code of Practice recommends that where multiple layers of paint exist, walls should be... More

LEGO® was used as a design tool because modelling with it is quick, playful, conducive to experimentation and allows for design democracy: anyone can be the architect! You too can participate! By abandoning the flatness of 2D drawi... More
