[edit] Labworth Café

What the heck does "one of the only architectural designs by Arup" mean? This is quoted verbatim from the referenced source, but it's not clear what the intended meaning is. Labworth Café cites the same source, but concludes that this is the only surviving architectural design by Arup — not quite what the source says. Elphion (talk) 22:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I had precisely the same thought. Maybe it's like being a little unique or a little pregnant! I suspect they mean "there were only a handful and this is the only one we know survives", but it's still odd wording. --Dhartung | Talk 01:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
