What’s behind door #1,543?

By Alex in Architecture, Pictures on Sep 9, 2009 at 12:35 pm

A friend of Neatoramanaut Andrew Wirtanen snapped this photo of a construction site with a unique screen hiding the building being worked on in Seoul, South Korea. The screen is made entirely out of doors!

A little Googlin’ brought another view by waynekorea [Flickr]; this wonderful house made entirely out of old doors in Elberton, Georgia; and this amazing "door/portal" group on Flickr.

Thanks Andrew!

    Using old doors for a temporary building fence used to be common, but this one is much larger than any I ever saw.

    It makes me think of ‘Monsters, Inc.’

    I was just going to say the same, Babycakes.

    I predict one day that wall will come down and behind it is an ginormous Andy Warhol statue, larger then anyone in the world has seen… well, either that or Michael Jackson.

    Exactly, Babycakes! I wouldn’t be surprised if Boo was peeking out of one of those doors.

    Wow, amazing!! And even more amazing considering the usual screening material for Korean construction sites is flannel blankets.

    Okay, I have no idea what they really are, but here in Busan I’ve seen buildings under construction (and even holes in the pavement) covered simply with long sheets of flimsy pastel-striped fabric. A friend of mine saw a scooter delivery guy drive right into a hole that way.
