For all my Zimbabwean friends on here. A proud moment to savour. 🏏 🇿🇼 😂
Further progress on my study of St Michael the Archangel,
Aldershot. Named after the warrior of God appropriately for a town historically
tied to the adjacent army camp.
Working up the interior (work in progress) and making a start on a context file
exported from Forma (an online application that is part of the AEC collection
that comes with most Revit subscriptions. The wider aisle is of course the
original nave, hence the twin gable roofs, one steeper than the other. The
Victorian extension to the North is broadly speaking perpendicular in style.
Lots of interesting contingencies of its historical development. Doubled up
columns/walls in a couple of places.
A stair that begins in the west end of the nave and makes a tricky shift across
the diagonal into the bell tower. This last part is subject to confirmation on
site, but it's the best I can do on current data. The site is sloping from West
to East, but by how much? Forma suggests quite steep, photographs not quite so
dramatic. Site visit needed.
All good fun.
Context file for St Michael's, Aldershot. Not sure if this
is effective use of my time, but I generally justify these kinds of efforts by
telling myself that all the painstaking work in the foreground is allowing my
subconscious brain to chug away in the background thinking more deeply about
the project.
To put it more simply I'm getting to know a place by cobbling together a model
as best I can and constantly thinking about the simplest level of detail that
will give me something I can use. I could have paid for a more accurate online
model of Aldershot, but would that be good enough? ... and it's not like I'm
earning money any more.
It's a BIG file also, even after reducing the number of points quite
drastically. Toposolids are great, but for some purposes I would like to go
back to the topo-surface workflow. Anyway, some of it is a matter of cleaning
things up, then there is the business of making little families for some of the
buildings.
I came to realise that this part of Aldershot tends to have Victorian/Edwardian
terraces along the older, distributor roads, and 1930s style semis filling out
the interior blocks. I tend to stop at arbitrary points in the process of
changing a model like this. There's no way I will ever replace all the clunky
grey blocks. Basically I shop around here and there, locking for repeating
units. Make a family. Populate a couple of streets. Get bored. Move on.
Probably I will do some more after I set up some views and see where the
weakest bits are.
