My Last Sneak Peek at the Lexington Community Center

Level 0: Aerobic exercise room is close to being finished. Mirrors on the South wall increase the perceived size of the room.
Today I rode my bike over to the Center to see what was going on.  Although still not ready, the contractors have made a lot of progress.  Since I will be away next week, this will be my last sneak peek at construction progress before the Center opens on July 6th.

Below are a set of pictures I took as I walked around the building with Clerk of the Works, Don Johnson.

Stopped by the ALMOST FINISHED Lexington Community Center this afternoon for my weekly look-see.  Major progress, still some distance to go...  Here are the photos I took by looking at the outside and looking into a couple of windows...  [Slide your mouse over the photos to see captions.  Click to see a larger view]

Exterior
The beautiful ...
... flowers ...
... have been preserved.
In the back of the Center, many nice flowers have been growing for a long time.  
The good news is that the flowers have been preserved!

Model Sequence

6/11/2015

0 Comments

 
I was asked to produce 3 photos of the process of building a model.  Well, I couldn't do it in less than 7.  Selecting which 3 of the 7 should be used is the work for an editor :-).

Here is a sequence of steps from photos of the original house, to the computer modeling of the house, then a series of tests to see what looks good, and finally, the next to last view of the model still in progress.

To see see captions, hover mouse over thumbnail.  Click to see a larger image.
1. Modeling an existing structure starts with photographs.
2. Initial model created on computer in Google SketchUp. Creating this design is an iterative process that continues throughout the project.
3. There are many different tools and materials used in modeling. No limit to the amount of things you "need".
4. Computer models are great, but there is nothing like see a "draft" build using foamcore board.
5. After the basic size and shape are verified, start experimenting with colors and surfaces.
6. The final computer model complete with carport, shed and cars in the driveway.
7. Final model under construction. Masking tape still is used to make sure parts fit together correctly. Glue comes at the end when there is no turning back.
