Hansom: Drinking in the view

2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

This week involved an enjoyable combination of sights and sipping. A swimming pool will offer uplookers an eyeful, the view from my HQ has an unexpectedly named watering hole and the Ally Pally seeks booze

Hansom: On the cards

2017-02-17T06:00:00Z

This week there’s news in spades - diamond geezers in dingy digs, the government and an art gallery join the late club, and One Blackfriars is full of heart. Plus, will an architecture competition answer your prayers?

Hansom: Tell us another

2017-02-10T06:00:00Z

This week we ask: What do you call a Unicorn with a website? How is Mipim like Margate in midwinter? and How many builders does it take to dig up a tamagotchi? Answers on a postcard, please

Hansom: Maps of meaning

2017-02-03T06:00:00Z

The high-end London resi trail stretches from Blackfriars to Greenwich, the rich have a new space to stash their loot, Russia takes an interest in Trump’s wall, and a construction supergroup rocks again

We know you’ll want to be on the ball when it comes to Tottenham Hotspur’s £400m new ground so this week we’re sharing some of the more printable gossip from White Hart Lane in our Spurs special

Hansom: Money, money, money

2017-01-20T06:00:00Z

This week, the Garden Bridge Trust is keen to close its funding gap and a place close to my heart is getting a big cash boost. However, one lucky householder doesn’t have to worry about how much things cost …

Hansom: All in the mind

2017-01-13T06:00:00Z

This week, we find people with an incredible gift for predicting the past, architects get an offer they can’t refuse, Renzo Piano finds boat building isn’t plain sailing, and German existentialism gets a new lease of life

Hansom: Yule never walk alone

2017-01-06T06:00:00Z

Christmas pud all eaten up, life returns to what we like to call normal – a world of football rivalries, eye-catching press releases, new year’s honours and Brexit. What’s left of the season of goodwill is restricted to dogs

Hansom: Road worthy

2016-12-19T06:00:00Z

This week, a not-so-ingenious firm hits the road, a Hollywood trolling, demolishing the wrong house is a ‘boo-boo’, contractors lose a Victorian post box and underground cars are a non-starter

Hansom: We’d like to thank …

2016-12-09T00:00:00Z

We’re far too modest to mention our IBP magazine of the year award last week, ahem, but of course much of our success is thanks to the everyday, sometimes eccentric contributions of building folk - talking of which …

Hansom: The malcontents

2016-12-02T00:00:00Z

If you thought the grouse season was almost over, think again - there’s all manner of bellyaching this week - luckily, we have Titanic-inspired apartments, a tale of love pursued and a nice ski holiday to look forward to

Hansom: It’s the real thing

2016-11-25T06:00:00Z

Those who feel the reality show that is life has just taken a surreal turn for the worse in having a game show host elected as the next president of the United States, will find nothing to reassure them on this page

Hansom: Sporting chances

2016-11-18T00:00:00Z

This week, Tottenham Hotspur kick off their new stadium, the ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Awards are a night to remember that some may prefer to forget and the competition for one position may not be as hot as some might think

Comment

Hansom: Apocalypse now?

2016-11-11T07:00:00Z

The sandwich board men might be right this week, as we see Donald Trump affecting house prices, aircraft thronging the skies, sinister signs, beloved pubs being demolished and it’s even raining in CGI images

Comment

Hansom: That’s show business

2016-11-04T06:00:00Z

A little glamour this week (not before time), as a construction grandee is touched by Tinseltown, Zaha Hadid designs for the Brits, and we get not one but two film festivals - plus, there’s a real tearjerker about a bench

Comment

Hansom: Misperceptions

2016-10-28T06:00:00Z

Our understanding of the world is challenged this week as the true nature of an industry figure is revealed while it seems we’ve got van drivers all wrong, and coffee cups are no longer just vessels for hot beverages

Comment

Hansom: Coming of age

2016-10-21T07:00:00Z

If the stress of working in construction is turning your hair grey, count yourself lucky – you could be a GP. And if you really want to keep in touch with your younger side, you can always dig out your old Lego set

Comment

Hansom: No time like the present

2016-10-14T06:00:00Z

We celebrate the Little Britain Challenge Cup, Dagenham is ready for its close up, a plan for a shared football ground in Manchester gets fans excited (but not in a good way), and the future is closer than you think

Comment

Hansom: Core values

2016-10-07T07:00:00Z

The Considerate Constructors Scheme finally puts women centre site, a great deal of fuss about Apple’s office move, an invitation to design buildings that few people will see, and a team raises cash for charity

Hansom: Ars longa, vita brevis

2016-09-30T06:00:00Z

This week, Google’s mothballed plans for a King’s Cross HQ are revisited, West Ham footballers plan to turn up at Mipim, selling luxury homes gets arty, and our hacks fail to shine at ping pong
