The B1M
About this episode

This week we’re heading DOWN UNDER to Brisbane, Australia to cover The B1M's latest video: "The Race to Build a $6.3BN Railway for the Olympics". This massive infrastructure project will help put Brisbane on par with Melbourne and Sydney.


Later in the episode, we chat about London's newly approved "One North Quay" - a 23-storey life sciences laboratory in Canary Wharf (designed by KPF). Also in the news, we look at the Ascentage Pharmaceutical Headquarters in Suzhou, China - it's inspired by the shape of chemical bonds and was completed in 2022 (designed by OLI Architecture).


We end the show with an email from Harrison (Harri) Laurie.
