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.
