Construction sites and demolition sites interest me. This was taken in Yigal Alon street in Tel Aviv.
This was taken in 2005 and if I'm not mistaken, nothing was built there since.
The regeneration work of the Pier Hill area in progress here. On the far left of the photograph are the original railings from the days of when this was called Royal Hill.

Every location and building in Dublin has a story and in most cases many stories many of which are not accurate.
If you search online for information relating to the Moy it is most likely that you will be informed that Richard Beesly Sheridan was born at No.12 Dorset Street next door to the Pub in question. Because of a comment made by a local I decided to carry out some research and I must admit that I was surprised by the complicated story that I discovered.
According to Wikipedia: “Playwright, Westminster Parliament member, and son of Thomas, Richard Brinsley Sheridan was born on this street at number 12 in 1751; Brinsley Sheridan's works include The Critics and The School for Scandal”.
In 2002 Eneclann Ltd, a Trinity College campus company, was commissioned to determine if Sheridan was born at 12 Dorset Street, as claimed in recent biographies by Fintan O’Toole in 1999 and by Linda Kelly in 2097.
The report found the false assumption about Sheridan's birthplace came about because of different numbering systems for the street dating back more than 150 years ago. Sheridan was born in 1751 and the historians found that numbers were not assigned to Dorset Street Upper until the 1770s, 20 years after Sheridan's birth.
It is important to be aware that from the 1770s to 1848 there were changes in the numbering system. From 1848, the numbers were permanently fixed as they are today. The research found the house recorded as No 12 (Sheridan's birthplace) in the first half of the 19th century could not correspond to the same house today.
Researchers found an early deed for the house currently known as no 12 Dorset Street Upper dated 1783 and records a lease on the property between Joseph Ellis and John Smithy. At this time, the property was recorded as No 10 Dorset Street.
What they did discover was that Thomas Sheridan, Richard's father, held a lease on an adjoining property to what is now 12 Dorset Street.
They are convinced that the actual Sheridan house was one of those purchased by the Dominican Order around August 1883, which were subsequently demolished to build St Saviour's Priory.

This construction site is on the south side of Lake George. I don’t know what is being built so walking through it is the reverse of roaming through ruins and a pleasure that’s just as intense. It’s a present tense experience of abstract form in the state of becoming… electrical conduit snakes along a labyrinth-like route bordered by orange vinyl fence on one side and a cyclone fence on the other….the fences meander around 50-foot mounds of dirt,…at the site’s south end is an excavation with molds ready for concrete. As you move through this site, the failure of form to reveal its direction and purpose keeps you in the state of now, a state of wonder.
the walls of buildings in barcelona often have the scars or remainders of apartments past, a patchwork of brick, tile, paint, and wallpaper.
The new suburbs, fancy tract homes filling up the once open farmland between Austin and Round Rock (Dell), are very depressing places to live. Everyone is new and unmotivated to get to know anyone. The architecture supports this isolation in every way possible. Fences, not the 4' chainlink that were around a few houses to contain dogs, in the neighborhood that I grew up in; but now they are 7 feet and solid wood. Visual isolation prevents friendly chit chat in the evenings when two families adjacent to each other are bar-B-Qing, but each are unaware of what the other is dong. So no interaction, even when the setup is perfect. In my neighborhood, there weren't any fences and the children led the social interaction out of natural curiosity and playing together. Even the reserved adults were comfortable talking about the children while taking turns flipping burgers on the grill. This image illustrates that our obsession with a counterproductive "need" for fencing, goes so far as to influence contractors to put up useless fences as symbolic barriers, in this case the land owned by the construction company and the rest of the community. An architect, James Howard Kunstler, has made a life long study of the social effects of the architecture of living space on our social life. His books show amazing insight and make great reading for anyone concerned with the unraveling of American society at warp speed since hitting it's peak of achievement after WWII. The the Pandora's Box of television was opened...and that is an even long story which we are just now piecing together. Mo Austin, TX August 11,2012.
The fence around a construction site in Lower Manhattan served as canvas for artist, Maya Barkai in her work called "Walking Men 99." The site-specific public art installation surrounds the Four Seasons Hotel, which is currently under construction at Church Street near the World Trade Center site. "Walking Men 99" is a photographic collage of 99 pedestrian traffic light icons collected from around the world. Barkai's project began in 2004, when Mayor Bloomberg initiated replacing the standard traffic light signs with "more pedestrian friendly" symbols. Barkai noticed New York City's pedestrian character, and gradually began photographing different representations of similar icons around the world. The ‘walking man’ is an international celebrity and one of our most recognizable figures, says Maya Barkai “Standardized yet diverse, they commonly show us the safe way of travel". The installation, 500 feet long, features 99 “walking men” printed in life-size scale and stretched along three street façades, starting at 99 Church Street, and continuing on Park Place and Barclay Street. The installation will be on display until January 2011.
