    Can you identify this building to win a £25 drinks voucher?

    Can I set the record straight following your article about Lord Rogers and Birmingham (24 March)?

    Place your bets

    2006-04-07T00:00:00Z

    You ask where research funding should be spent (10 March).

    A positive step, but a small one

    2006-03-31T00:00:00Z

    I have read the five proposals in your Reform the Regs manifesto (17 March) and I wholeheartedly agree with them.

    Groan … another London architect wheeled in to put up proposals for yet more iconic buildings (17 March).

    Old joke, new punchline

    2006-03-31T00:00:00Z

    There is an old joke about engineers being good with numbers but remaining illiterate.

    The wrong guests

    2006-03-31T00:00:00Z

    Before you get too excited about the Building Regulations "summit", let's get back to earth.

    One careful owner?

    2006-03-31T00:00:00Z

    The Home Information Pack is yet another area where the government is introducing poor quality legislation. It should be repealing regulation by the tonne, not introducing it.

    London lags behind

    2006-03-31T00:00:00Z

    In London there is still confusion over the London Building Act and the national Building Regulations.

    Take some responsibility

    2006-03-24T00:00:00Z

    I applaud your Reform the Regs campaign and welcome much of what is proposed (17 March).

    A league of their own

    2006-03-24T00:00:00Z

    I was quite amazed to read that some architectural firms in this country are so arrogant about their own status that they expect students to work for free ("Exploited youth", 10 March).

    Some hits, some misses

    2006-03-24T00:00:00Z

    Tony Bingham was clearly at a different DTI conference to discuss the review of the Construction Act than the one I attended (3 March).

  • Thanks to clerk of works Alan Clark for this interesting approach to working at height.

    Your article about the alleged exploitation of architecture students is a warning to us all; it is not just their problem.

    Building on beauty

    2006-03-24T00:00:00Z

    So to enjoy the fresh air and natural beauty of the Lake District, it is proposed to build "landmark culture projects across Cumbria" (17 March).

    Shhhhhhh!

    2006-03-17T00:00:00Z

    Here is our very own government ensuring that full health and safety regulations are being adhered to while works are being carried out on a secret government building in central London … This is one way to bring in some unwanted attention!

    Watch where you're pointing that

    2006-03-17T00:00:00Z

    Building's last "At your service" set of legal questions and answers (3 March) very helpfully summarised changes in the JCT98 standard form.

    Pack it in

    2006-03-17T00:00:00Z

    I fully agree with David Brown's comments on the home information packs. Nick Raynsford's thinking, along with the government's in general, is flawed in respect of this legislation.
