I haven't been to site in a while... and the "glass-steel" house is starting to take shape.
I will however be going there tomorrow...Cant wait! I didn't design it but had some drawing work to do on this project so its cool seeing how exactly everything comes together. steel-concrete details galore. Learning a lot with this project as it forms part of next years studies (steel framed structures, we only touched  on it in 1st year) so I appreciate being able to see it first hand. Cape Town will be experiencing some rain and wind tomorrow...so it'll be an interesting meeting...if its too rainy (the site is sloped) we won't be able to walk around. We seem to have clients who enjoy seeing the unfinished project as much as we do. Fortnightly site meetings are a given but the architect makes visits in between, and the clients seems to be there almost everyday...checking the progress...reporting discrepancies before the architect sees them. Be excited but don't over do it...let the contractor do his job...
