Under Construction...
What does it mean when something is under construction? Well, for one thing
it means the design is supposed to be complete. The planners, the
architects, the engineers are done, and the builders get to work. Time lapse
photography can commence, and eventually capture something wonderfully
asymmetrical: the process of construction.
In design, even the tools are different. The pencil has been the paramount and unregarded tool of design, at
least until the present day.
We highly recommend this book on the pencil.
The Pencil : A History of Design and Circumstance
by Henry Petroski
The pencil is such a part and parcel of our lives, we scarcely think about
it. Evidently this has always been so; pencils have always been an essential
part of the creative process of working and reworking that is so important
to engineering.
