Here is a genuine curiosity, IMO. The headline explains the subject - accusations of lack of diversity in appointments at the Alan Turing Institute, which is located in the British Library.

I have never seen a photo from this angle before or seen, AFAIK, any mention of this architectural design feature of the BL. I wonder why not, as it is so striking? Or have I just missed it?
