UWE Construction Films: 8 Gothic Cathedral

In the years following the Norman Conquest a huge rebuilding programme started which continued through the next four centuries. The style slowly evolved from Norman into Early English, Decorated, and, in the middle of the fourteenth century, Perpendicular. This film traces the stylistic development of Medieval cathedrals and abbeys and explains some of the structural techniques employed in their construction

UWE Building History and Building Conservation Films: 11 Green Timber Buildings (Historic English Carpentry)
No full textThe UK has a fine inheritance of timber architecture. For thousands of years timber was the predominant structural material for building. Human communities exploited their knowledge of woodland management to provide themselves with a continuously renewable supply of timber framing, the first known prefabricated structural building system. This film examines the beauty and legacy of the carpenter. It follows the development and building of a Cruck framed barn at Leigh Woods in Bristol and questions the relevance of this environmentally friendly vernacular tradition to the present day
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB): One Step Ahead
No full textOne Step Ahead uses a real life accident scenario to investigate the responsibilities of supervisors (particularly younger supervisors on site) with regard to risk assessments, method statements, site induction and tool box talks. It explains how they should, and should not, be done. It is an essential training aid for the ongoing education of new supervisors who may have limited site, or health and safety experience. The DVD can also be used in colleges to give students a good introduction to these subjects
