Abstract

The built environment is shaped by the hands of skilled tradespeople, yet their contributions often go unnoticed. This essay uses photography to highlight their skill and dedication, capturing the construction process as a form of recognition. By showcasing the hands-on work behind buildings, it underscores the importance of collaboration between architects and tradespeople, encouraging more thoughtful design and a deeper appreciation of the crafts that shape our spaces.
