住宅デー(jyutaku de): Day of Housing

They say June 25 is Jyutaku de (住宅デー), Day of Housing. This day was established by Zenkoku kensetsu rodo kumiai sorengo (全国建設労働組合総連合), National Federation of Construction Workers' Union in 1978 to let the people understand the work and skill of construction workers.
This day was chosen because the great Spanish architect, Antoni Guillem Gaudi i Cornet was born on June 25, 1852. His most famous architecture must be Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It was his life work. The construction started in 1882 but it is still under construction and it is thought to be finished in 2256. Nobody in this world now can't see the completion.....
