A Christmas verse for Designing Buildings

In the digital realm where builders convene,
Lies a wiki of wisdom, a virtual scene.
Designing Buildings, a collaborative space,
Guiding construction with knowledge and grace.

From project plans to procurement's art,
Each article crafted to play its part.
Legislation, standards, history's lore,
A treasure trove for the built environment to explore.

As Christmas lights twinkle on structures anew,
We honour the architects, the planners, the crew.
May your projects be sturdy, your designs ever bright,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

In the heart of the web, where knowledge is shared,
A treasure awaits for those who’ve prepared,
To dream, to build, to craft and create,
A world of design to celebrate.

Designing Buildings, a beacon so bright,
Guiding the trades with its digital light.
From architects’ visions to surveyors’ schemes,
To engineers' strength and constructors' dreams.

Its pages unfold with a wealth of lore,
On how to design, procure, and restore.
Historic treasures, techniques of today,
And glimpses of futures still paving their way.

Through articles written with wisdom and care,
Each click brings answers for all who dare
To seek understanding of what makes a place
A sanctuary for time, a symbol of grace.

Planning permissions and contracts abound,
Insights on costs where solutions are found.
The heritage whispers, preserved for all time,
While innovations emerge—sublime!

This Christmas season, let us reflect
On the buildings we craft, the lives they protect.
Each brick, each beam, each structure we raise,
Tells a story of people, their lives, and their ways.

May builders and designers, through winter’s deep chill,
Find joy in their craft and strength in their skill.
As festive lights twinkle on walls built with pride,
And snow gently falls on rooftops worldwide.

So raise a toast to this virtual hall,
Designing Buildings, a gift for us all.
A guide through the ages, a place we can trust—
Where vision meets action, and build we must!

Merry Christmas to all, from foundation to spire,
May your projects be steady, and your dreams inspire.
For those who shape the world we see,
This season, let’s honour your legacy!
