the walls of buildings in barcelona often have the scars or remainders of apartments past, a patchwork of brick, tile, paint, and wallpaper.
This area of land is bordered by Pooler Parkway, Benton Blvd., Towne Center Blvd., and Maxwell Drive. Last year, all the trees in this area had been cleared out, and last summer, a new road was built and paved in this area between Benton Blvd. and Maxwell Drive. Later last year, a new Logan's Roadhouse restaurant was built on Pooler Parkway in this section. Earlier this year, construction started on a new McDonald's restaurant next to Logan's Roadhouse, and several more construction sites have been started in this area.

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.
They need so much time, that they need for one action one week, instead of one hour. So they get more money from the state. And they are too lazy to bring out fallen leafs from the water ground and becomes mud, after 15 years.
Heading to Birmingham New Street Station from Birmingham Moor Street Station.
A new footbridge will open at the end of April 2013, creating an easier link from Moor Street to New Street.

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.

I’m hoping that once this work is done that this overly large structure looks a lot better than I’ve anticipated up until now.
Photography is my way of tracing a rectangle in the air with my finger, to enclose an assortment of objects of my choosing.
