People all around the world have a fascination with the building construction process. Just visit almost any new building site and there will invariably be groups of people (usually men, it must be said) watching the progress of a particular building.
This blog is dedicated to that same fascination. We watch construction projects globally.
Another recent phenomonon since the advent of readily available digital video cameras, is the appearance of time lapse video watching the construction progress. This is a selection of time lapse videos taken from YouTube showing the development of a variety of buildings, mostly skyscrapers. The bigger they are, the stronger the fascination. the Japanese seem to be leading the world in this at the moment and some of these videos were started many years ago but it is spreading.
Shinjuku Skyscrapers
Roppongi Hills
Hong Kong
The University of Salford, Manchester
London
Unfortunately, the video quality is the usual YouTube standard, but they are still very difficult to stop watching.
