In the second episode of Inventive Podcast, Trevor meets award-winning structural engineer Roma Agrawal MBE - Mega Badass Engineer – that's what Roma says! She designed the foundations of London's iconic skyscraper The Shard and everything from train stations to footbridges. Roma's book 'Built' uncovers the stories behind iconic structures and her children's book 'How Was That Built?: The Stories Behind Awesome Structures' is available from September 2021. Roma's love of concrete influenced writer CM Taylor's story 'The Nightbuilder' featuring a mysterious Banksy-like character and colossal concrete structures that appear in the middle of the night.
