The Art of the Day is: The Art of Construction

I'm on a roll of "C's"
From my list of books:

The Art of Construction: Projects and Principles for Beginning Engineers and Architects (A Ziggurat Book)
by Mario Salvadori, et al

Construction is a term we used to use in costuming too. You construct or build a garment.
Construction also infers composition, in writing, visual arts, and of course music. "Putting it together", as Sondheim says in Sunday in the Park with George.
Construction as the opposite of destruction. I've been thinking about that too, and I've been putting off writing on "the Art of War", but it's been on my mind.
