building techniques

Local builders use wood instead of steel poles to support the structures to be built. It looks kind of adventurous and the buildings don’t ever seem to be level  in the end but it appears sufficient anyway… Anyways, some of the temporary support constructions almost resemble works of art that we build up mostly temporarily for prestigious events like the Expo and others of the same kind which usually cost millions of US$… Maybe next time we’ll just hire some Ugandan labourers…

 

I wonder if there was a structural engineer involved in this construction…

wasn’t there a similar construction at the Swiss Expo?
