Spottlight on the Buildings Around Us
/ Eileen KaleyWe’re at the time of year when we find ourselves in and out of shopping malls, staying for a few extra hours at work, visiting shopping centers, or enjoying holiday meals at large-scale restaurants. As you and your family embark on travelling, visiting, shopping, or whatever your holiday season may be filled with- we’d like to challenge you to take a closer look at the buildings around you.
Have you noticed the buildings around you today? Really, have you stopped and noticed them? Have you thought about how and why the building stood through our weather changes? Have you questioned how the lighting fixtures are perfectly spaced to provide exactly enough light at every angle of the room you’re in? What about the plumbing? Do you have any idea how the piping might run through the building to maintain the perfect amount of water pressure at all times? Or how strategically the sprinklers are set up- making sure no tiny space is missed in the event of an emergency. Have you noticed it?
Online shopping. How does the information you type travel to the computer of the stores your shop? And then how does the confirmation travel back to your email inbox? And the shipping label- how does it generate through wires to print at a store somewhere and tell them what to pack in your box?
