* This trope is the core of ScrapheapChallenge .

* In ''Anime/OriginSpiritsOfThePast'', in what is probably [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome the most]] [[AwesomeAnimation beautiful]] [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome opening]] for an anime movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdRwvnr21H4&feature=related ever]], the genetic engineering of super-powered plants on the moon is [[{{Montage}} juxtaposed]] to their subsequent explosive growth to the point that THE MOON IS SPLIT IN HALF, ''burning reentry into Earth's atmosphere'', and '''''growing to cover all of the planet'''''. It combines the Creation and Growth aspects of this trope with DestructionIsCool.

* Anything in the genre of SocialistRealism is all over this trope.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' short "Rhapsody in Rivets", in which a skyscraper is built to music, with the foreman acting as a CartoonConductor.

* ''FlashDance'' has some cool welding sequences. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILWSp0m9G2U WHAT A FEELING!]]. The inaccuracy of the way welding was depicted was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mIy6es9HhY mocked]] in ''Film/TheFullMonty.''

Related to CreationSequence, HardWorkMontage, ATeamMontage, and maybe a ForgingScene or TheGreatRepair. Also, apparently, BuildingIsWelding, because it's showy, flashy, and '''[[FlashDance manly.]]'''

* This is done with a DeconReconSwitch in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''. There are 2 major sides in the show, [[OrderVsChaos Lord Business vs Cloud Cuckooland]]. The latter is a bunch of creative builders who build awesome and nonstandard things, but their creations tend to either not last long or not working as intended. The former is a paragon of "following instructions" who doesn't tolerate any kind of deviations, but his empire's boring buildings and vehicles are practical. Emmet's journey to become a Master Builder here is the reconstruction - in the end, by combining the knowledge of instructions that he has as a part of Lord Business' system with his newfound Master Builder sense, [[AwesomeYetPractical he can make awesome constructions that are also powerful.]]

* This trope is the core of ScrapheapChallange.

* Elaborate block-based construction projects are quite possibly the biggest reason to play ''{{VideoGames/Minecraft}}''.

* One of the live-action (or made to look such in this case) trailers for VideoGame/{{Halo 3}} centred on the inside of a Misriah Armouries foundry on Mars, assembling distinctive UNSC weapons.

* ''ScrapMechanic'', a construction sandbox with DesignItYourselfEquipment at its core, exemplifies this trope. It's really easy for the players to create magnificent, awesome machines [[UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay that use actual physical and engineering priciples]] and [[NotTheIntendedUse utilize the game's available parts in novel ways]] to do pretty much anything one can imagine.
