Star venue was Bloomberg in Finsbury Square because glass featured everywhere as a metaphor for transparency. All offices, breakout areas, TV rooms etc (but not the loo) were in glass boxes so everyone can see what anyone else is doing. Even the 'art features' - 13 giant-sized fish tanks with completely stunning tropical fish in them - were chosen so people could see through to the other side. These cost, we learned, £200,000 each one once populated with plants and sea creatures, and there are two marine biologists on the payroll. Orange, I discover, is the colour of creativity (orange sofas).
Also visited the offices of a structural engineer, a private house development in Barnsbury and an old milliner's factory in de Beauvoir Town.
