This effin model!

So...about this sectional model.


I learned something new. I found out what a sectional model even was in class yesterday. Apparently, what I'd envisioned in my head all along was completely off-base. The cool thing about it is that I get to show the structure. I actually kind of think structure is pretty exciting. Does that make me an "architecture head"?--(i stole that term from a First Year named Monty). I'm currently trying to figure out how the structural supports should be arranged, since my design is radial. And I also need to decide how filagree and solid construction can be used together successfully. Can a big slab of stone or concrete go on top of floor joints? Or does one build floor supports around the slab?




Going from this (^^^) to....???????????????????

Decisions, decisions.





Party in Bemis tonight, I guess...
