Want to keep up-to-date with the latest photos and ramblings? Follow Being Brunel on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.
It seems apt that the official Being Brunel mad-rush season comes to an with this post- as the last-push of daily doubles to get #EngineeringIsArt back on target reaches its head. After today we return to regular, weekly, blog posts every Thursday and a new photo celebrating the art that is engineering for each weekday. It’s been a fun slog to fulfil my 52 articles/260 pictures a-year quota; but I’ve got a good few side projects that I hope you’ll like that need attention too.
This is now the seventh gallery of the #EngineeringIsArt series; established to prove once and for all that architecture isn’t the final word on artistry in the built environment. If you haven’t already, you can catch up on numbers 000 to 049, 050 to 099, 100-149, 150-199 , 200-249 and 250-299.

[…] So what does that mean for this site? Well, Brunel worked in much more than the civil discipline, at the very least he was just as much a mechanical engineer and a civil one; so I’m sure he wouldn’t begrudge my continuing being Brunel. In fact, I didn’t actually mean to stop writing, I just got bogged down long enough when switching jobs to get out of the habit. Long story short, expect a flurry of posts as I try and catch-up with my traditional end-of-brunel-year-mad-rush-season. […]
