Vic High

Remember this post?

That project that I was working on is finally finished. Victoria High School - it's a super old building where we did some interior renovations. We also tacked on a new extension. I was lucky enough to work on both buildings.

So remember - this project was done in Revit - not AutoCAD. This means instead of lame 2D Etch-A-Sketch lines that represent walls - the entire thing is in 3D. Here is a snap shot from the Revit 3D model.


See those ramps and stairs? I shuddered the first time I saw the floor plan. I think that shudder was my intuition letting me know that eventually that crap was coming my way.

Yup - I ended up doing all the ramps and stairs in the building. There is another nightmare ramp on the outside that you can't see here.

It was the first time I drew ramps or stairs in Revit.....and this is what I get to start with!? And because I'm working with an architect: he would tell me how he wanted it designed, I drew it up and he would change his mind.

Seriously - this was such a great experience. It's definitely my favourite project I've ever worked on, and I'm so proud to have been a part of it.

Here is another shot from the model.


And...this is super cool...check out the photograph from the building.


The "pencil columns" on the left were the best part of the project - what a mind that comes up with that design for a high school!

And how cool is this? Walking up the ramp I spent hours and hours drawing...
