Hansom
Hansom: The art of war
A power struggle fails thanks to Sweett’s silent majority, there’s a sortie to Spain by bike, and an online mission to celebrate our anniversary
Previous Hansom
Hansom: Ah, the memories
Let’s go back in time with thought-provoking graffiti from the sixties, a return to the slow pace of barge travel, and the recollection of how the 2012 Olympics promised so much for contractors
Hansom: High society
We’re up in the social stratosphere this week: dress sense at the Lords, Canary Wharf Group’s plans for the great unwashed, and One Hyde Park’s elusive residents - only high jinks at the Shard lower the tone
Hansom: Out on the tiles
Nocturnal celebrations of a bacchanalian nature are a feature of this week’s hectic schedule - leaving more sober heads to advise on flood defences, though a junior minister puts a spanner in the works
Hansom: Adventure calls
We’re off exploring, as construction folk pack some extraordinarily weighty reading matter, download an album or two for the trip, and head off to Malawi - though even here Lord Sugar’s tweets will still reach you
Hansom: Multimedia communication
This week, RMJM goes through an identity crisis, Pure Student Living approaches Chinese teenagers online, Aecom’s Jason Prior has words with taxi drivers, and T&T launches Johannesburg’s second moon
Hansom: Of all creation
A rapper sings a rainbow in the name of architecture, the game is afoot for the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, there’s more marathon news, and has Balfour Beatty offended the gods?
Hansom: Dining out
On this week’s menu, an architect’s in the back of Burger King, Next is on the warpath, a Hansom hack is all at sea, and Boris smells something fishy. Plus, rappers and runners are here to inspire us
Hansom: ‘Cannes do’ attitude
We reflect on last week’s Mipim where BoJo bashed the French, the weather threatened to flood the place, a Turner & Townsend employee reminisced about bath time, and we got our hands on some boules
Hansom: Each to their own
Ken Shuttleworth’s imagination runs wild, Ecobuild punters condemn Eric Pickles to an Orwellian nightmare, Ian Tyler bows out in style and Otto the dachshund is deselected
Hansom: Making the most of it
It’s been beastly in Eastleigh, but at least architects are finding some novel ways to de-stress. Meanwhile, the PR team at WYG refuses to let a good story be ruined by the horsemeat scandal
Hansom: Just the job
This working week, you may be asked to eat some smoked salmon, read thousands of pages on HS2, star in a Chinese sitcom, or listen to deafening drilling while trying to write your diary column
Hansom: A time for action
Will Ed Davey show bold leadership by getting himself retrofitted? Can Sir Stuart Lipton succeed in un-demolishing the Euston Arch? And do we need to act now to stop the newts from taking over?
Hansom: Cultural tourism
This week, Germany decides Britannia is cool, the place of Osama bin Laden’s violent death toys with the idea of a theme park and a client goes ballistic in Bulgaria
Hansom: confession time
This week, Building comes clean about its involvement in the 2012 Olympics and Arnie throws his weight behind the government’s Energy Efficiency Policy. Plus, there seems to be a lot of cycling
Hansom: Augmented reality
If the truth is somewhat dull, a dash of artistic licence can go a long way - just add some proud left-wing anecdotes, a few scatter cushions, a well-rehearsed dance routine and a pair of knickers
Hansom: Warming up
As the UK faces ‘snowmageddon’ we learn that Greg Barker has a well-stocked drinks cabinet, why Stef Stefanou has named a horse ‘Hidden Discounts’, and if Building’s news editor is ready to run a marathon
Hansom: The bestiary
Migrating fish are a matter of debate, a horse and his contractor bring it home in Ireland and Ewoks avoid having to visit the White House. Some BEEs, meanwhile, are looking doubtful
Hansom: Celebrate good times
The government bids a frugal farewell to its chief construction adviser (now set to spend more time in the kitchen), London 2012 construction heroes are honoured by the palace, and we count our Xmas cards
Hansom: Top industry gossip of 2012
Gossip columnist Hansom has been reporting on the more weird and wonderful antics of the industry all year, from swimsuit calendars to giant cakes and circus acts
Hansom: Goodwill to all men?
This week, Oliver Letwin says humbug to the Association for the Conservation of Energy, Cabe is compared to a certain Russian-owned London football club and ISG has a problem with spelling
