SCI_Arc undergraduate director Gary Paige led a tour of the school’s future home today. He explained that work is going well and we are still on target for an August 6 completion.
Workmen pouring one of five sheer walls that will support the building in case of earthquake.
A view of the other side of the wall.The left side is open, ensuring that it will be possible to see quite a distance within the building. Relentlessness is preserved, as much as possible. Note the deep excavations for the sheer wall.
Finally, this is the future library space on the second floor. Fittingly, it’ll be the nicest space in the building. The library will end roughly where the stairs (intrusion on the left) are and administrative offices will occupy the rest of the floor. Maybe students will finally begin to get just why I am still interested in Rossi? For more on the tour and on the construction process, visit John Southern’s website.
