A photograph of steel studs can look like nothing if you don't know what problem they represent.
At Siena College, scale and sequencing were the point. Long, heavy-gauge framing. A gymnasium floor you couldn't casually abuse with equipment. Lifts and materials had to be sequenced around the building itself. You could construct yourself into a corner if you didn't plan how the equipment was getting back out.
Libraries were another version of the same problem. A bookshelf is furniture until you fill enough of them with books. Then it becomes structural load.
I loved blueprints. Scheduling, logs, payments, sequencing and constraints made sense to me. Years later Amazon gave me fulfillment systems instead of buildings. The thinking wasn't as different as it looked.
