Austria is Digging a TUNNEL Like No Othe...

The B1M
About this episode

This week we’re heading to Linz, Austria where Fred recently came back from a successful trip. During his adventure, Mr Mills visited an active site where a vital piece of Austrian infrastructure is being built across the Danube.


Later in the episode, we look at Shanghai’s new exhibition centre from Heatherwick Studio AND a new district coming to Berlin from Henning Larsen.


We end the show with an email from Joe Phelan (...we think?) and an Apple Podcasts review from John Rollins.
