Super-wip

Not sure whether you will actually be able to work this out yet as I'm on my way to put these crazily-coloured Rhino curves into Autocad to give them proper lineweights and inject some order to the madness, but thought I'd share some screenshots again.

The basic premise is to draw corner A in brick detail, with patterns that arise from rotation of the bricks, and also to show different construction alternatives (concrete, steel, etc - I'll get these done as soon as I have the first brick one up and running). I'm also doing one version with larger brick sizes (clay blocks). What is happening as I draw these is that I create a lot of tiny spaces that I'm thinking could be put to (reinforcement) use - by adding corners on the exterior, in order to enhance the existing corners, we also add corners inside of the actual wall. Could these corners, or rather the spaces they open up, be filled with, say, concrete?

Once again, sorry about the state of these drawings; just thought I'd get something up that you can comment upon.

First the drawing format that I'm using:

And then the beginning of the line chaos. Drawing with first designed row of bricks:

A closeup showing the spaces in between bricks:

Adding a few layers of bricks...

So. The information obviously needs to be broken down further, but it's there. Switching to Autocad now, and should have the brick one done in about on hour if I am to be on (some kind of) schedule. Final shot:

Hm. Okay, hope I'll be able to make this communicate for tomorrow.

I would really love to comment but I fear my x-ray vision isn't fully functional. Can't figure those lines out so will reserve judgment till tomorrow!
