I finished the first phase of construction on a model of the
Vancouver Public Library, a very interesting, architecturally
speaking, building. (The second, surrounding, building which
contains office and retail space will be coming soon.)
I am still working on the web page which will eventually
contain side-by-side comparison pictures of the real building
with the model. In the meantime, since I wanted to make the
pictures available as soon as possible the web page is very
simple. http://www.towells.net/library
The real thing's web page is http://www.vpl.vancouver.bc.ca/branches/LibrarySquare/home.html
It will be displayed at GATS next weekend, if you are in the
Portland, OR area you should stop by and see PNLTC's display.

PS: Comments will be welcomed.

| Dwayne: I was in Vancouver a few years ago and saw this magnificent building personally. You have done a great job capturing its essence. I wish I would have had more time to study it because it is such a striking building. Vancouver itself is an (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

| That's tres cool, Dwayne! I love the fact that it'll be displayed at PNLTC layouts! People will flip:-) This again exemplifies what I think is so cool-- LTCs modeling regional landmarks. Seems about time to mention JT's NGLTC Atlanta chicken! FUT: (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
