History

What I’m excited about: canal developments in 1790s in UK

innovations down stream from Newcomen engine that pumped water out of mines led to development of the steam engine

Steam engine led to being able to move lots of mass using canals, which led to massive canal development in England over the next few decades

It’s astonishing how many of the built elements enhance the landscape in the UK. Stone walls, hedges, viaducts, etc 

Here’s to technological advances spurring elegant infrastructure 🥂

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us
