Bank House, King Street, Leeds, LS1
Designed by Building Design Partnership. Built 1969–71, listed Grade II. Building Design Partnership was conceived as the world’s first interdisciplinary practice. Bank House, completed just 10 years later, is an exemplar of the firm’s ambition to combine complex engineering solutions with its own designs. The building is square on plan and, at five storeys in height, adopts the form of an inverted ziggurat with a central light well penetrating the top two floors. It is of in-situ cast, reinforced concrete construction, clad in grey granite and bronze.
Humber Bridge, Hessle, East Yorkshire, HU13
Designed by Freeman, Fox and Partners with RE Slater. Built 1973–81, listed Grade I. Until the opening of the Humber Bridge in 1981, passage over the river was only by boat. At 1,410 metres, it was longest single-span bridge in the world at the time of construction. The bridge was technologically innovative in its use of reinforced concrete to overcome challenging geomorphological conditions. On gaining Grade I status, Historic England referred
Engineering Research Station for British Gas, Station Road, Killingworth, North Tyneside, NE12
Designed by Ryder and Yates. Built 1966–7, listed Grade II*. Initially commissioned by British Gas to design a building for researching methods of producing gas, the discovery of natural gas switched the emphasis from production to distribution. The main structure is reinforced concrete with pre-cast panels. The conical water tanks and cylindrical vents on the roof give the building its distinct appearance
1) What is your biggest fear?
Shane: That someday I’ll be unable to go adventuring and be stuck in a nursing home or confined to bed rest.
Zane: That I’ll end up being a burden somehow to my mum. She’s had so much to deal with and so I’m worried that maybe someday I’ll get into an accident and she’ll need to be a caregiver to me.
Matthew: That somehow, someday I’ll force a girl into a situation that she’s not comfortable with by accident and she won’t tell me but that she’ll feel the same way I felt. I don’t ever want to be that person.
Christopher: Dying young. I’ve got so much so much yet to do and not being able to do it is terrifying.
Kelsey: That Isabella will die way before me. I don’t want to die second cause I don’t want her to do have go through that sort of hurt without me able to comfort her, but I don’t want to live more than a few weeks without her either.
Natalie: Failure. The thought of being someone that my parents can be proud of, or that people use as a cautionary tale is horrifying.
Karen: Becoming ugly. I know that sounds terrible, but I couldn’t imagine being like deformed or something and I don’t know how I’d survive if I was.
Tamara: Not being remembered by anyone. I’m pretty scared of just like dying having no one around to care about me being gone.
2) Do you have any special objects from your childhood?
Shane: I’ve got a whole twin brother from my childhood. Crazy, right?
Zane: Not really. I kind of left the one special thing I had in England. It was a program from a play I’d gone to with my dad, but I didn’t want to be reminded of him.
Matthew: I got a toy car that could be worked on when I was around ten for my birthday and it was really when I started looking into being a mechanic, even if it wasn’t serious. I keep it still though, since it was my start in the industry.
Christopher: I have a signed jersey that I got from a football game I went to with my dad for my 8th birthday and he arranged for me to be able to meet a few of the players. Or maybe my Mom did, either way, it was really great.
Kelsey: I’ve got a friendship bracelet that Isabella made me. It’s too small to wear now, but I still keep it in my jewelry box.
Natalie: I have the first book I ever learned to read all the way through. It’s also what I made my first film on too, so it’s kind of important for me.
Karen: I have a stuffed doll that stays on my bed at home, when I was really little I brought her everywhere and used to make her sit at the table and stuff with me.
Tamara: I have this little pinky sparkly microphone that my older brother gave me when I said I wanted to be a singer at like age 4. I keep it on a shelf to remind me of my dreams.
3) What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Shane: Out adventuring with Thomas and Kylee, making videos of our antics and getting paid to do it. Thomas admits me stole Emily from me, we get matching tattoos and bond over it. Kylee wears my shirts and looks cute, we have a happy an active sex life. I have all the money to travel whenever I want. Zane: Perfect happiness is a flawed concept that is unrealistic. There will always be something wrong in some capacity. I suppose perfect happiness is then just ignoring those things and focusing on the good things happening. In my case, I’d like to have a steady job where I save people’s lives and have a home life that makes my job’s difficulties much more bearable.
Matthew: I live close to my family, I have my own garage and a loving relationship. I mean, probably, ideally with Mia, if things continue as they are.
Christopher: Being able to take photos for a living. really, that’s all I’d need. Kelsey: Shopping out and about with Isabella, knowing I’ll be able to see my boyfriend later and having the money to buy what I want.
Natalie: Making a film and having everything come together perfectly in the exact way I imagined it. It lets me know that my vision was a great one and that it translates how I was wanting it to.
Karen: Dancing for an audience and having them enjoy it. That feeling of being lost in art and bringing everyone with you, it’s perfect.
Tamara: Spending time with my friends at the mall or the beach and not having any responsibilities.
4) Give an unpopular opinion that you believe.
Shane: There’s a thing as being too much in shape.
Zane: There isn’t any such thing as soulmates.
Matthew: Siblings make the best friends.
Christopher: It’s better to be an only child than to have siblings.
Kelsey: Star Wars is completely overrated.
Natalie: Video games are a waste of time.
Karen: Small boobs are way hotter than bigger boobs.
Tamara: Redheaded girls aren’t that attractive.
5) On what occasions do you lie?
Shane: To get out of trouble.
Zane: I try not to lie that much, but I do lie to patients from time to time as part of the job. If they ask for test results or if there has been a diagnosis and the doctor hasn’t discussed it, I actually can’t tell them.
Matthew: Sometimes to make people feel better. Sometimes when I don’t feel like talking about something.
Christopher: I lie to keep my ass out of a situation I don’t want to be in.
Kelsey: To my parents, mostly when I know they won’t approve of what I’m doing.
Natalie: I mean everyone lies to keep things from being too awkward. So, that’s where I try to contain my lies
Karen: I lie to my parents when I know they won’t like my choice in activities. Well, mostly my mom because my dad is pretty cool about most things I do.
Tamara: Sometimes I lie about my feelings to people. I don’t like looking weak, so if I’m going to I try and avoid it at any costs.
6) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Shane: I'm not going to change anything, I’m awesome.
Zane: I'd like to have a better memory, it’d make things easier for both school and just on the job in general. I do have charts that I can look at, but sometimes I waste time having to look up a medication that I’ve seen before but just can’t remember.
Matthew: Being a bit taller would be nice. It doesn’t even have to be a lot taller, but a couple of extra inches wouldn’t hurt.
Christopher: I'd like to be able to grow facial hair a bit better. Maybe time will fix that one.
Kelsey: Uh, there’s like nothing because Isabella is perfect and that means I am too. Oh, like not physically? Nah, still not going to change anything. I like who I am.
Natalie: I’d like to have a bit more curves. I’ve got an okay amount right now, but it all depends on angling and what I’m wearing. I’d like to have enough that it wouldn’t so drastically depend on those factors.
Karen: If I was taller then I’d have a better shot at being a dancer. Well and if I had less boobs. Basically. I just need my mother’s figure.
Tamara: I’d have bigger boobs. Not like huge, but just a nice C cup to fill out everything I wear better.
7) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Shane: I’m not easily embarrassed, but I guess the most embarrassing thing is that I once got drunk and started having a conversation with my reflection, thinking it was Thomas. A friend took a video and sent it to me and everyone else later.
Zane: I spilled my lunch all over myself my first day at school in the United States. There was a weird step up and I started to trip, but I managed to right myself. In doing so though, I tipped my tray toward me and my whole lunch went on me. Part of it was soup and it just looked like a pissed myself. Of course my mum was too busy working to come bring me a change of clothes, so I had to go around in those clothes all day.
Matthew: Like most teenage guys, at one point I’d gotten an erection randomly but it was during gym and there was really no hiding it. Of course someone had to go and point it out to everyone.
Christopher: I cried on my first day of kindergarten so hard that they had to call my dad to come and get me. For the rest of the year, I was known as the class crybaby and some unoriginal kids even continued that trend all the way through third grade.
Kelsey: I was in the third grade and I really had to go to the bathroom, but the line was too long and I did not make it. All the other kids saw and called me Kelsey Tinklepants for months.
Natalie: When I was around 13, I went to tell a guy that I liked him and he asked if I was joking. When I said he wasn’t, he laughed and called all his friends over to tell them what happened.
Karen: I tripped down the stairs and fell with my skirt up in front of a bunch of people. And I was like probably 10 at the time, so my underwear were a ten year old’s and they had princesses but apparently that was uncool, so I got double teased.
Tamara: Once I got sick on my teacher in front of the whole class. I was probably around eight and I just wasn’t feeling good, so I went up to tell my teacher that I had to go to the bathroom during silent reading and halfway through my explanation I just puked all over her. She was not pleased and I cried.
8) Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Shane: Thomas. I don’t think it really needs an explanation.
Zane: I guess at this point it’s my mum still. We’ve gotten so close after everything that we’ve been through together and I’d do anything for her. Maybe with more time that’ll change though.
Matthew: I don’t know if there is a single most important person. I think right now it’s a tie between Noah and Mia. Though Mia is pulling ahead slightly in that race but if it ever came down to both of them needing me at the same time for something, I’d have a really hard time choosing.
Christopher: I can’t try and pretend it isn’t to the point where it’s Eloise. I picked my school because of her. Juan is hanging in a close second though.
Kelsey: There has never been a more obvious answer to a question in the history of the universe.
Natalie: Lydia. I know I can go to her with anything and I have come to depend on that, on her being around.
Karen: Me. I’m a person and I’m the most important one. I don’t do things for other people, I do them for myself.
Tamara: Camilla. I’d be lost without her, I wouldn’t even really know how to function even.
9) If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Shane: I’d want to be doing something awesome. I don’t want to be wasting away of disease or whatever, I want to be living life.
Zane: With dignity. People say that a lot, but it’s something I understand a lot better after being in the hospital. I want to die with my mental facilities about me, making my own choices until the end without everyone telling me how tragic my death is.
Matthew: I guess I’d just want a death that isn’t too painful. Partly because I’m not big on pain and partly because I don’t want my family to have to watch me suffer. I’d want a death everyone can be at peace with.
Christopher: Just give me something quick. I don’t want drawn out nonsense where everyone has to gather around for days just waiting for the moment. Get to the point, death.
Kelsey: Everyone always says in their sleep, right? But like, then I’d be in my bedclothes and people would find me like that? I want to be looking damn good, so people will be like, oh no, double tragedy. She’s dead and she looked fabulous right before she died and no one got to enjoy it properly.
Natalie: I’d like to die while I still understand the world around me. I never want to get to a point where I’m not sure of who I am or where I am. If I don’t have my mental faculties about me, I don’t want to keep going.
Karen: I want to still be attractive looking. You know those old people where you’re like, wow she’s really put together? Yeah, if I get to the point where I can’t be put together it’d be horrible. So, I want to die while I’m still able to be put together.
Tamara: Definitely in my sleep. I don’t want to be aware and in pain. Just take me while I’m dreaming about something and make sure I’m not suffering.
10) What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually?
Shane: So this girl I was with was like, you’re great with a camera right and I was like, yeah that’s what I do. So she was all, let’s make our own pron movie and I was like, okay yeah let’s do it. But she brought some props and costumes. She was very prepared for this.. Like, it ended up being hot to make, but not hot to watch back. Definitely not hot to watch back, it was really strange to watch back.
Zane: I haven't been that wild of a sex partner. I guess once we left the curtains open and there was an apartment building not too far away with a window at the same level so they could have seen.
Matthew: Once Mia and I had sex in my truck when it was in a parking lot at night. That was kinda wild.
Christopher: I had a girlfriend who liked to have people watch, so like once we just invited someone in to watch us have sex. That was pretty wild, and a little awkward when I’d sometimes forgot we were being watched and then suddenly remember.
Kelsey: I had sex in a classroom last year really close to when classes were about to start, so that was a rush. We definitely could have gotten caught.
Natalie: I’m a virgin and I’m pretty tame when it comes to masturbation.
Karen: I'd say that a threesome is definitely the wildest thing.
Tamara: Nothing. I'm still a virgin.
11) When was the last time you cried?
Shane: I got drunk and saw this really cute video of a cat that was best friends with a tiger and I couldn’t help it.
Zane: I made a mistake in the clinical setting and it left a patient in a lot of pain. It was fixable but it would take an hour and she was in extreme pain the whole time.
Matthew: I hit my head on the bottom of a car the other day while working on it and it hurt like hell.
Christopher: I don’t actually remember the last time I cried.
Kelsey: I was watching a really sad movie and it just hit me really hard.
Natalie: The last time I got sick, I was just feeling really terrible and I cried. Karen: I was having a really rough week at school and then I messed up some dance steps and got told off by my teacher. It was too much, I couldn’t help but cry.
Tamara: I shed a few tears when I heard Victoria was going to go to prom with someone else.
12) Do you have any vices?
Shane: I can’t resist a joke, even if it isn’t the best of timing.
Zane: None that I can think of. Maybe I can be a bit insensitive.
Matthew: I don’t think so. I try not to have moral weaknesses.
Christopher: I smoke from time to time.
Kelsey: I am a gossip. Can’t help it, gossip is great.
Natalie: I can’t think of any. Maybe I’m a bit prideful at times.
Karen: I'm a vain person. So, yeah, my vice is vanity.
Tamara: I might be a tad vain and prideful.
