Seldom have we seen a video that is both artistic and informational concerning the renovation and reconstruction of a building, and you're in for a treat. The site is a project by noted Japanese architect Tadao Ando, restoring Punta della Dogana in Venice, Italy. The video is time lapses of work captured from January 2008 through March 2009. Some project stats:
