This is an early wip of the Philips Exete Academy library by Louis Kahn
The main building is almost done, and now it's time to add some details, and then texturize it. (I know, the façade is out of proportion in the Z axis, fixing it now)
All built in Autocad starting from some plans in pdf found in the web
(this is a sketchup view, Autocad one is a real mess
)
Autocad view (can you understand anything?)

The library is beautiful.
Can't wait for the renders.
Got some/too much spare time at the studio?

Built at home when my wife and my daughter are sleeping
Anyway, it's for a seminar I'm planning for the next year in the architecture university, so 1/2 work 1/2 playing

Y con nocturnidad y alevosía. Supongo que hace demasiado calor ultimamente como para dormir.
A seminar about Kahn, libraries, ilumination,...? For postgraduate course?

The autocad-thumbnail looks like something from the Matrix

Still a lot of work...
SL 17.47 after 21h, too noisy, but benchmark is really low

That's a hard space for Maxwell, just like we like it.
It looks promising.

Well, I have been there several times over the years, and I must say that you are doing a great job so far. Are you planning a class for this Decembers Autodesk University or Next June's?
