How it started How it’s going

@Mukhtar_Malami No they’re not. It’s been like this for many years.

A form of brutalism seen in Nigeria. Guess the location?

Early 20th-century New York skyscraper construction was extremely dangerous, as workers labored without hard hats, harnesses, nets, or guardrails. Falls were so common that estimates suggested about one death for every million dollars spent on major projects. Landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building were constructed by ironworkers, including many Mohawk men and new immigrants known for their remarkable balance. They worked on narrow beams in high winds, facing dangers from falling tools, shifting steel, and the sheer height beneath their feet. Safety gradually improved as unions strengthened and new regulations took hold, from the introduction of hard hats in the 1930s and 40s to lifelines and federal standards in the 1970s. Today, OSHA enforces strict rules that sharply contrast with those early, perilous days of skyscraper construction. More amazing moments captured in photos: bit.ly/3vlLOd6


One day we’ll talk about how professionals in the building industry take on roles outside their scope. Because tell me why a surveyor or QS is doing the job of an architect, or an architect doing the job of an engineer, and vice versa. We aught to be for each other not against.
