The legendary Martin Lewes!

but it’s far more than a picture or a map it’s one of the most sophisticated programs in the world for designing everything from housing estates to whole cities

On the 16th of September Martin Lewes (@martinlewes) from BBC Radio Cumbria came to visit our offices.   His interest was primarily in the local community broadband project called ‘FibreGarden’.   We had a chat about the work Garsdale Design Limited did and it’s exciting new working in 3D urban modelling using CityEngine.

I’ve been asked many times about why we need fibre optic broadband in our area and what it will mean for a business like ours.   Needless to say it will help us stay competitive and allow us to work from the Dales across the globe.   Fortunately they’re breaking ground in October and starting the actual laying of the cables!  You can find our more about FibreGarden (aka DigitalDales) by clicking here.
