Final Project Group State House

We started to build the walls and the windows, making sure the spacing was as close as possible.  There are 11 windows in the State House alone the long side (39 blocks)

Here is a side view of all the windows, and the walkway that leads to the State House (perhaps our version of the Freedom Trail?)

Another view of the building and walls.  You can see that swirly's...we needed lots of daylight to make sure we could see what we were doing.  In this picture, you can also see the balcony that is pictured on the State House.

We began to build up with the tower, trying to make it look as it actually does in real life - with the color and the windows.

Another side view of our building, slowly making changes and adjustments to the scale.

A full side view of the State House that we are still tweaking. We realized that the windows didn't match with the other side, we together we decided what we should do.

Danny decided to build a little stop light outside our State House.

Inside, we covered it with a blanket of "brown carpet" instead of leaving it the dark brown that it was.

This is final image of the State House we built as a team.  You can see the stone sidewalk surrounding the building, along with Danny's stop light, and the make shift American Flag hanging off the side of the building.  The lighting is a little dark, but it you can still see all the parts I described above.

This is apart of my Final Project Group State House. As a class, over a two week period, we built the Old State House in Boston. We needed to figure out dimensions to make it to scale. I think we did a good job with that, not counting in the tower at the end. As a group we worked very well together, and we got the job done (that we did alone in 4+ hours) in about an hour and a half. A side by side picture next to the real State House looks very comparable. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://immersiveeducation.org/@/bc
