Check out my completed model // The Aurora House (1:32)

Last night I finished with my first, third-year residential model I named "Aurora House". It is now on display at the Gerald D.Hines College of Architecture at UH, and will be displayed at Rice University in two weeks, with a short presentation I am giving. It took 3 months to complete this bastard from front to back. If you guys are in the area, stop by and give it a look. It's on the ground floor next to the showroom.

Aurora House has so many stairs I don't think I could stop myself from falling down them all if I lived there.

Looks like you found it out. This was the house I was going to build for Dave when he retires.

There's a sensor via the first step. It reads any incoming Mexican phenomena and thus activates the blades. In case it fails, there's always 43 more steps to get the job done.

See, I know how to improve the environment these days.

i guess that's acceptable. seems like a lot of room for error to me. just planting the knives there would work fine. no fancy gadgetry. he won't notice.

Just blow him up in the driveway. Save the stairs for the occasional troublesome mistress or the gossipy maid.

This is only a continuation of last semester's intro to planes and asymmetrical structures, in which we were supposed to design a building using theories based on the De Stijl movement (Rietveld, Mondrian, etc...). We are working on the design, finishing up rather, of structural theory.

SA in architecture is waaaaayyy different than engineering SA, if thats why you're wondering. We dont apply as many laws of physics, at least this year, to any of the structures. There's actually a field of study (offered at the school of engineering at UH) called "Architectural Engineering", which requires pretty much all math's in college and all physics.
