About This Site
This site is designed to host the content of a book I have been working on for several years now, until I can finalize it and get it published. I do this in the hope it can be of use to someone, and get at least something produced, however initial the state. Also, hopefully it will spur me to overcome my hurdles and finish the work, which I have been struggling with for some time.
To find out more about the story of this work, you can check out the Introduction, where I talk more about the origin of the work, along with what inspired it and what it covers (though, the latter is in a very draft state due to changes both with the software being used and the plan of action, which has changed numerous times during the course of this work).
To find out more about me related to this work, you can check out the following sites:
- On Blogger where I will be posting on different actvities, including about updates to this work.
- On Youtube where I have a video showing a Timelapse of Modeling the Tuscan Order in SketchUp, and hope to upload more videos in the near future
- On the SketchUp Warehouse, where I have a SketchUp model of the Tuscan Order available for download, that shows the type of model this work is tryng to achieve
I hope that you will find something useful in browsing the content on this site, and hope you will forgive me for the mess, which I am working to clean up as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Updates
- A previous update was mainly trying to just clean things up, but this is rather major, as I have moved things around quite a bit. The main issue I have had is trying to streamline the work, and not keep repeating the same basic instructions. Therefore in this update, I have moved some information around, and tried to make things a bit more coherent. In addition, I have (once again) changed the look, mainly making the heading sizes smaller as they were a bit much before. Hopefully, this will help the work in the long term.
- 2019-09-20: Have finished updating the Tuscan Order chapter to draft state with the new layout. The linked areas (such as Classical Moldings, Entasis & Constructing the Orders) still need work, but I am happy with getting at least this chapter semi-finished.
- 2019-09-???: Have added two more chapters, these being the older (more finished) versions of the Doric Order and the Ionic Order, to which may be of use to the reader. I'm still not sure how I'm going to proceed, so may actually end up going back to these. Other than that, I have also rearranged some of the content, especially in the beginning parts of the main body, to make it more useful and easier to eventually follow (I hope). Unfortunately, I've also been rearraing the back-end CSS a bit so some things will be even more wonky than usual here until I can get everything settled. Thank you for your patience.
