Connecting Essay 5

This is a photograph which i found on-line whilst researching the evidence of architectural design and construction. It is showing the construction site of building which is in the process of being built. i think the use of the formal element of reflection is adds a nice effect. It is showing the bottom of the large crate being lifted into the air by the crance. This gives a deeper look at the actual crate as it is showing a side of the crate which would not of been seen if the puddle was not there. Although there are no obvious signs that it is a construction sight, the men in yellow jackets implies that they are builders. The dark skies in the background is also showing evidence that the weather is unpredictable but the builders must actually continue with their work no matter what the weather is like.

I took this photograph on my evidence of damaged buildings shoot. This photo shows the building is damaged, as the structure has already been built so it is not showing the construction of the building just some repairs or improvements. This is showing a fenced off area which is restricted from the public due to safety reasons. The bright signs is telling people to avoid going in the fenced area and to take caution when being around it. This is because building sites are dangerous due to the machinery and equipment used. This photograph was taken on a reasonably damp day which implies that again the weather has affected the working conditions which may possibly make it even more dangerous than it already is.



These photographs are connected as they are both showing the same theme of construction as they are both building sites. They however do differ as the top one is on a wider much more open space whereas my photograph is taken in a closed area which is why there are visible signs telling children and the parents to stay away as it may put themselves or a child at danger. These signs may also be present on the first site but they are simply not in the photograph. They are both also similar in the way that the wetness of the ground implies it has been raining so the builders cannot control this factor but the must in fact continue. The first image is a lot darker due to the dark rain clouds where as in my photograph the clouds are light and so they brighten up the photograph. These images are both connected as they are showing the evidence that buildings are constructed and built by talented individuals,
