oops

Yikes.  It's been way too long since I posted on this blog.  I have been busy though, I haven't been slacking off...too much anyways.

This weekend I got a chance to sketch some awful pictures, but I also managed to get a section detail completed.  Awesome.  So here:

Section 

So after I completed this scaled drawing, which I didn't bother putting dimensions on for aesthetic reasons, I had to make the section in sketchup, which actually took longer, and a lot more clicks of the "hide" button then I would have liked.  But what can you do?  It didn't take too long, and I managed to get a pretty good shot.  Granted, I can't take it in 2D, so the 3D aspect is still there, but you'll get the idea.

So, yes.  I removed the tree and replaced it with an oversized fountain.  Modern, and the trickle would be kind of soothing, wouldn't it.


On a somewhat unrelated note, I have two important staples on my desk:  An Einstein action figure and a miniature camel (made of camel hide, not a real camel) from Morocco, whose name is appropriately Paulo.  Whenever I am stuck designing, creating, writing, or finding something to do, I inevitably wind up staring at them until an idea pops into my head.  This time, Einstein gave me the idea for the square fountain.  So if you don't like it...blame Einstein.
