Labworth Café

[edit]

What the heck does "one of the only architectural designs by Arup" mean? This is quoted verbatim from the referenced source, but it's not clear what the intended meaning is. Labworth Café cites the same source, but concludes that this is the only surviving architectural design by Arup — not quite what the source says. Elphion (talk) 22:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I had precisely the same thought. Maybe it's like being a little unique or a little pregnant! I suspect they mean "there were only a handful and this is the only one we know survives", but it's still odd wording. --Dhartung | Talk 01:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Bloody hell. Maybe you could possibly read the article again, or perhaps provide a useful reference. Oneblackline (talk) 23:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Kylesku Bridge

[edit]

Someone may wish to add that he designed the award winning Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland, on the extreme North West Highlands of Scotland.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.35.157 (talk) 00:40, 11 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Danish-English

[edit]

It is an insult to declare him as solely english, when he had a danish father (and norwegian mother), grew up in denmark, was educated in denmark, married another dane and worked in danish firms (before working in british firms). He most likely spoke danish before he spoke english. 80.163.26.11 (talk) 11:13, 17 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
