Random Thoughts: Construction – Why is everyone so fascinated by it?
(New series of blogs based off my random thoughts)
Every morning on my way to work, I walk by two large condo’s getting built from scratch.
From scratch…
Every morning I walk by and see if I can notice anything new from the day before. It’s fun. I also notice others (pretty much every day) who stop and look at all the construction taking place. (more like gawk! Lol)
Why are people so fascinated by this? What makes people stop and just look?
In a world full of ideas, things that get built are rare. Even rarer is the average person doesn’t get to see this process with their own eyes. (In North America, we generally purchase things complete and ready to use)
Think about it, when is the last time you’ve seen anything complex being built from scratch?
Being a construction worker isn’t highest on the totem pole in our society (or prestigious). Yet, these are the men that are building a sky scraper that we might marvel over. Should all the credit go to the architecture firm or to the men that carefully built it brick by brick with their own hands – I personally feel it stands as a testament to both of them. Both should feel proud.
Looks like I have more questions than answers here…hehe
Let me know why you think people are fascinated by construction sites? (Maybe it’s the big tonka trucks?)
Thanks,
