it's still an 'alternative' from it's current use, lots of 'alternatives' or concepts could be rattled off as being 'previosuly presented'...gah! Evening Squire!
hahaha, structural knowledge to a point, but it was a small fact presented in the initial package which quickly got covered up when there was the slightest hint that the public money that was being spent on it was wholly outrageous and would go higher than the initial budget..
As an example, to build a typical, traditional 3 bed house, you can do that (once land has been acquired) for well under £90k This house can be designed to have a lifespan approaching 75-80 years minimum...
1 Millennium Dome, stuctural steelwork designed for a 25 year lifespan, £789million...
That's 8767 houses that could have been built for families, or indeed, a good few hospitals/schools etc which would have been designed for longer term use...
