h judges praising it as “inspiring” and “socially aware”. It rewards years of significant upheaval for the museum, founded three decades ago by Sir Terence Conran.
In 2016 it moved west from its beautiful but too small premises near Tower Bridge, in what used to be a banana-ripening warehouse, to the former Commonwealth Institute in Kensington.
The move gave it three times more space and came with an ambition to do “what Tate Modern did for contemporary art, for design”. Alice Black, the museum’s co-director, said being named European museum of the year was a remarkable achievement, which celebrated its “common European future”.

e under-ground-floor space available • but finally decided on the procurement & self installation of a Scandinavian wood burning boiler system and a Jotul wood burner for the main living area, because of the local access to unlimited felled & dried timber at the time. The heat loss design that I calculated for the 1841 main school building, which was half open to the roof, meant that an off-the-shelf heating installer didn't have a clue as to how to complete the job. The Runtalrad modular, multiple-tube, horizontal and vertical panels were ideal for the task at hand as they provided exactly matched outputs for situations with limited wall space availability. Vertical panels in the study, hall and upstairs landing, and low level horizontal panels below the low-down windowsills, in the living-room and bedrooms. All of this space heating was then complimented with a Jotul #7 heat circulating wood-burner arrangement which could generated up to 13 Kw of output.ps You can see the boiler & Wood Store in the bottom left-hand picture of this collage ....

The problems we face are rooted in the way we LIVE and the way we THINK, so these are what must change. A new, higher level of thinking will usher in a new way of living, in which social justice and environmental sustainability are enshrined and where there is no concept of exploiting other people or damaging our home, Planet Earth.
WE need every ounce of our ingenuity, determination &resolve right now to build this future.

was limiting its appeal here. So I've repackaged it as one of my Explainer episodes. I Hope you enjoy.
People have been asking for the math. So here it is. The Sun's core temp is ~13.6 MK. For hydrogen nuclei the Coulomb barrier is roughly 0.1 MeV. This corresponds to a temperature in excess of 1 GK! Luckily, tunneling and the distribution of speeds among nuclei lower the actual temperature required. So without tunneling even the Sun's core isn't hot enough for fusion.
To see most of this worked through, check out this link:
