I prefer the composition to the treatment, but I thought I’d post it anyway.

A timelapse of the construction of the roof of the new Kings Cross western concourse. I’d rather have embedded the longer BBC version, or their second video of the main railway shed roof renovations, or even the single shot version of the latter at Network Rail, but unfortunately they don’t seem to enable embedding.
If you’re interested in the new station: more words; more pictures; even more pictures. Why there are no water fountains. Previously: my review of new northern concourse of the Underground station.
