Semester 2 week 13

sectional perspective lecture. a very comprehensive lecture which was a general 'how to' with clear diagrams and relative precedent.

Tutorials this week invested a lot of time resolving the technical aspects of the gridshell again. discussed an awful lot of precedent and looked for them mainly in the detail series. The real problem is the joints.
Have recreated the grid in 3dmax again several times in order to make something appropriate that works.
