"Construction used to be a localised activity, but with the advancement of construction processes and construction materials almost every building contains components of a globalized economy." This photo comes from a building in Geneva where I made some research on the energy system. Unfortunately I’ve not the entire building in the photo but I know this building very well. The façade come from Switzerland, it’s a Lucido type. All the technics for hot water come from Austria and the solar panels for example are produce in China. So we can easily see that even if construction used to be a localized activity, every building contains components of a globalized economy.
