LARC503 Design Built Project

Ok, here I am.. long time no see you guys. I know I know.

I have been slacking and lazy about this blog but I am going to restart it again.
This semester has been a bit crazy actually. As usual though, I stay at school longer than I stay at home..

Anyway.. here is what I am working on.
We have just finished 50% construction detail design last Friday (yes, I had only 3-4 hours sleep a couple of days before the due day.) We have a presentation next Monday after this reading break is over (which is like Spring Break).

We are allowed to do some extra work for it, so I am working on 3D modeling... I think not many people are doing it. Oh well.

Here are some pictures.













We (my partner and I) did design on Vectorworks (CAD software, not AutoCAD) first, so it is more accurate than hand drawing. Then I put that .png file on Sketchup (google's 3D model software) to start modeling. It is a plan view.. lovely, eh.














I started from a pond and outside classroom area, because that is what we are excited about for this project. I want to spend more time on it to make it prettier. :-)














Zooming in outside classroom. I know it has a crazy support and crazy beam sticking out..you will see how it goes. We have A PLAN for it. :-) For now, I can only say that.
