the-funnel-along-with-several-smaller-supports

“The funnel, along with several smaller supports scattered around the periphery, support the full weight of the roof. At first glance it may seem like an architectural flourish, but again they are as much an act of engineering as they are architecture. The new concourse sits directly above the Underground’s new Northern Ticket Hall, and thus there are limited points at which the weight of the roof could be supported – the funnel is the solution to this problem.” (via The London Terminals: Kings Cross | London Reconnections)
