Art imitating life, er something like that

Measure load-bearing capacity in SU

Unfortunately, John McClenahan and I are trying to accurately measure the stress and make sure the beams will hold up under millions of tons of sheer forces; the building is now getting to the point where it has to be more real than just a model in Sketch-Up, no matter how realistic looking. 3 Architects have said it is feasible, but I need to get more careful structural analysis done, either by them - or a major Engineering firm I have met with - or someone else, but I thought I would see what…

@NewThinking2, This got built in my living room during lego time last night. Reminded me of the RiverArch project. I’ll ask the kiddos how they did it.

Colour symmetry too, a true sign of a master builder

The blocks seem to be mimicking the rug pattern as well

The bottom one looks more reasonable as its shape somewhat resembles a parabola. A perfect arc is not an efficient way to carry the loads.

Not so surprising. If you look closely, the rug is made of lego,
