A Room for London
A Room for London is a temporary structure located on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank.[1] The structure, designed by architect David Kohn[2] is described as "a one-bedroom installation"[1] and is shaped to appear like a boat perched on top of a building.

A Room for London is one of a number of projects by Living Architecture, a not-for-profit holiday home rental company founded by philosopher and writer Alain de Botton.

gollark: What's `findRem` doing? Doesn't Haskell have a mod function?
gollark: It's going to have a fun feature where if it detects that you're running it *while* the uninstaller is open, it will subtly mess up your answers.
gollark: After realizing I had absolutely no idea how the "general number field sieve" and such worked, I just decided to implement Pollard's ρ one, but it requires gcd which Lua doesn't have, so I'm looking up the Euclidean algorithm.
gollark: So I wanted to do it in a convoluted way, so I looked at a bunch of prime factorization algorithms.
gollark: So I thought it would be funny if potatOS shipped with a program to factor primes for you.
