where recycling meets design
This phenomenal picture is related to the Superuse story of the 747 Wing House. (http://www.superuse.org/story.php?title=747-Wing-House-1) This is the actual dissecting of the Boeing 747 that is being used for the building.
To give a feeling of the sheer size of these elements check out this Superuse item (http://www.superuse.org/story.php?title=747-Jet-Shed). Here the fuselage is being used as shed, to repair vintage helicopters.
The 747 elements for the house are being flown to the construction site by a helicopter.
