為待裝修的大廈設置了竹棚架後,一位搭棚工人在小休,喘一口氣。
香港是搭竹棚的拓荒境地,每天都有摩天大樓升起,每年使用超過500萬根竹竿,每根竹竿長6至7米。
成為一名搭棚工人需要力量,技巧和最重要的才智,他們要架設錯綜複雜的天幕牆和平台,堅固到足以支撐一大批建築工人。 工人在距地面350米處建造竹棚架。
A bamboo artist takes a breather after setting up a scaffolding for a building ready for renovation.
Hong Kong is the last frontier of bamboo scaffolding where skyscrapers shoot up daily and more than five million bamboo rods, each six to seven metres long, are used every year.
It takes strength, skill and, most importantly, intellect to be a bamboo artist, erecting intricate webs of sky-high walls and platforms strong enough to hold a legion of construction workers. Workers build scaffolding up to 350 metres above the ground.
