I think the polycarbonate is probably quite good insulation; a hell of a lot better than glass! As for the roofs, where the corrugated cement board was, they were reroofed to be like original, not as original, so I imagine they were insulated

I don’t mind the overal winner, Caochan na Creige, a stone self build bungalow on the Outer Hebrides by Izat Arundell; must’ve been difficult to build, but it doesn’t seem to me an innovative or brilliant design

As for what should’ve won, maybe the Sanei Hopkins, maybe Hugh Strange’s Hastings house or James Gorst’s Amento.

I think the Gianni Botsford polycarbonate & corrugated fibre-cement barn conversion on the Isle of Wight is pretty intelligent & different too, & should’ve been shortlisted

In this graph, change in Conservative vote 2019-24 is plotted against the share the Tories won in 2019. As you can see, there's a strong relationship. This means the Conservatives suffered *proportional decline* - the better they started, the further they fell back. And that magnifies seat losses
