Modeling Jon's house (cont'd), and an anticlimactic ending (for now)

With both Jon and I's scheduling varying some over the past weeks, we weren't connecting in the afternoon as often and as regularly as we had been previously; yet, I've completed all but a few finishing color determinations with regard to modeling Jon's house. I'm also in the process of attempting to reconstruct the landscaping of the earth beneath the model so that it can pass Google Earth's algorithms for accepted modeling, which would allow anyone who wishes to see a 3D rendering of his home to be able to do so in Google Earth. That aspect is on the back burner for now, but it's still pretty cool stuff.

Anyways, below is the final model (sans a few color changes):

A picturesque, humble abode :)

Happy people ready to move in :)

The reason I titled this "an  anticlimactic ending" is because while the internship is technically over, my relationship with Jon is just beginning. Especially as I move into graduate school, but also for the remainder of this year, Jon has said to be sure to reach out to him when time allows for many more projects and tasks that I think he would be more than happy for me to complete, as well as input on any of my own ideas that I develop design-wise.

This has been a very fun month, getting to do something a little bit out of the ordinary, and solidify my interest in Maharishi Vāstu. As the new students arrive tomorrow and I begin the welcoming process, I feel really good about what lies ahead.

I plan on continuing this blog, though probably not as regularly during my final year as a math student, but most certainly as my attention shifts fully back onto architecture in the fall of 2016. So for anyone out there who enjoyed these accounts, stay tuned for future updates!

Jai Guru Dev
