Building sites

Currently, the Cape Town skyline has a skeletal aspect as everyone gets out their crane in the building frenzy ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. It’s opened my eyes to the variety and beauty of cranes, and the interesting shapes and forms of a building site.

Recently, I’ve spotted some beautiful building site photos, and thought I’d share:

My friend Dave Southwood was recently in Dubai, taking pics for an architect client. The online reproduction really doesn’t do it justice, but at home, Dave has a 2m long print of it on his wall, so next time you’re in the neighbourhood, do pop in!

I found this striking pic of a building in New York City by Jan Kordylewski. See more of his photos on his blog ThereAreNoWords.
