Abstract
A PERUSAL of the report of the Building Research Board for 1935 recently issued by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (H.M. Stationery Office. 3s. 6d.) shows how elementary is our scientific knowledge of building technique. In his introductory survey of the recent work of the Board, Dr. R. E. Stradling, the director of research, suggests that a wrong emphasis has been given by concentrating on the engineering side, strength and stability of structure being studied to the neglect of other equally vital considerations associated with the “Efficiency of Buildings from the Standpoint of the User”.
