In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure. Far from being a single activity, large scale construction is a feat of multitasking. Normally the job is managed by the project manager and supervised by the construction manager, design engineer, construction engineer or project architect.
Preparing for building a bridge over the railroad tracks at Lander street. Lander street will be closed for 2 years. Fortunately pedestrians and bicycles still get through.
Construction continues at the site of San Antonio's newest attraction . . . Traders Village Marketplace. Footings will soon be poured for the first of four giant covered Expo buildings. Traders Village - SA is scheduled to open in late 2010 at the intersection of SW Loop 410 and Old Pearsall Road.
I may have a new-to-me Hasselblad 500cm, but I also have a couple of Kiev 88cms that have lenses I’ll never get for the Hasselblad (*cough* 30mm fisheye *cough*). I went out yesterday to test my four film backs for light leaks.
The two I developed yesterday both have small leaks. :-(

For the regrading of the L-40 Levee, crews from the SFWMD West Palm Beach Field Station trucked in 62,810 tons of material.
The view from the newish bridge at Stavsvägen, towards the newer roundabout and the even newer road to Lillgården and the even newer construction site. All that's old here is me and the apartment buildings in the background!
Lots of building projects going on on the CNU campus. I love all the lines and shapes of construction.
Prior to the construction of Waddesdon Manor, no house existed on the site. Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley.[25] Ferdinand chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur.[26] Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy.
Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord.[27] However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate.
The structural design of Waddesdon was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors.[28] The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son.[29]
After the Manor was completed in 1883, Ferdinand quickly decided it was too small. The Bachelors' Wing to the east was extended after 1885 and the Morning Room, built in late-Gothic style, was added to the west after 1888.[30] The stables to the west of the Manor were built in 1884. Ferdinand and his stud groom devised the plan, working with Conder. Destailleur designed the façades in a French 17th-century style.[31]
Wine Cellars[edit]
Wine Cellars
The Wine Cellars in the Manor were created during the Centenary Restoration and opened in 1994. They are modeled on the private cellars at Château Lafite Rothschild. More than 15,000 bottles are stored in the Cellars, some 150 years old, the majority from the Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild estates. It is the largest private collection of Rothschild wines in the world. There are also wine labels designed by artists such as Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.[32]

Construction continues at the site of San Antonio's newest attraction . . . Traders Village Marketplace. Concrete slabs are prepped prior to the erection of steel vendor sales buildings. Traders Village - SA is scheduled to open in late 2010 at the intersection of SW Loop 410 and Old Pearsall Road.
The construction of the Aqua complex continues in Chicago. Have I mentioned how much fun it is to photograph this building?
This image was created by stitching 79 shots together. The full size is about 8000 x 11000 pixels and Flickr continues to choke on it and I cannot get it to display correctly.

When I looked up at the building, I wondered about the different colored panels on the lower balcony. Any idea why they do so? If you are living in Beirut, do you know where it is in in the district Hamra?
