Some men have
(over the past three days)
erected scaffolding around the block of flats adjacent to where I live.
This block,
built
(in 1975)
from light ochre bricks,
seems now
(in 2009)
to have exoskeletal form,
not quite a shell.
It took six designers
six years
(from 1971 to 1977)
to build
(in Paris)
another building with apparently skeletal shell,
(external support or protection?)
of 15,000 tonnes of steel.

roger(s)!
and pieano too, around the corner?
or probably some more obscure names scaffolding then ...
Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Sue Rogers, Gianfranco Franchini, Edmund Happold and Peter Rice to be precise, but I need some more material Sam, my allusions are, I fear, not quite doing justice to my subject.
