Today, I was looking out the office windows. Dallas is nice. There are some lovely buildings...and some that are...hmmm. But architecture got me to wondering. How did we come together that way?
One person decides she wants to draw a plan for a pretty structure (or not so pretty, but whatever).
Then someone else decides he'd like in on the action and he will finance the building of the structure (or maybe lots of someones). So they hire folks to engineer it and build it.
And those folks hire people to do the manual labor...contractors, sub-contractors. It goes on until there are many many people who have come together to build something. One by one, buildings go up, and VOILA you have a city center. Then companies come along and rent or buy space in the building, and they run offices. Now all of those people are working together. And those people have to eat. Before you know it, you have yourself a corner deli.
And ain't life grand? Doesn't it seem amazing that we build this way? A little miracle, actually. It happens every day. People everywhere coming together to build things.
