Context Model Buildings
The entire cathedral model was built by me. It took several days to gather all the required info and figure out how to build certain elevations (we were missing a LOT of information and measurements). In the post of the surrounding area, the buildings in the third and fourth pictures were also built by me, with the help of Patty Johnson. These didn't take nearly as long to build, though we did have to make a few alterations to make each fit into the context of the site model.
I've decided to try and post something every week (mainly on the weekends) in order to keep everyone updated. Some posts will end up being non-project related, as the design process is a semester-long project. I will most likely include more quotes, pictures of St. Agnes, and possibly a slew of my favorite architectural works to keep people entertained.
Thanks to everyone keeping up with the blog!
