Start with the news release Arup completes M Shed transformation from ABC+D, which we summarised at the time by saying "ABC+D takes a look at Arup's transformation of an old dock shed in Bristol, into a new museum for the whole community.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Decorative column casing options from Encasement from Encasement: "Encasement's column casing range includes pre-formed plywood casings, glass reinforced gypsum and compact laminate solutions for interior applications.".
 
In August 2011, we covered the news from Encasement - take a look at Column casing installed at residential tower which says: "Encasement has supplied circa column casings for one of Europe's tallest residential building developments, The Landmark at Canary Wharf.".
