Santiago Calatrava Olympic Velodrome Roof Model in SketchUp

See more models, animations & Panoramas at http://vizarch.blogspot.com

Well, I think it's the olympic velodrome roof...It's Calatrava, It's Athens, It's Olympic...Eyeballed from a photograph. This actually wasn't too difficult to build. I'm pleased with the result, I have to say.

I'm doing a research on this structure and also obliged to make a similar model.

Can you tell me: How did you make sure it looks almost the same as what we see at the real site? I mean, did you refer to some section drawings or did you just refer to photos?

Hi --

I just built it from photos... 'eyeballed' it, as we say.

Also, this isn't the Velodrome roof. I took this from photos of a model of Calatrava's that had been submitted as part of the olympic proposal (from Filipo Jodidio's book). This structure may never have been built.

Great work! I've been working with sketchup for a while, but how did you get such a large model without your PC getting stuck?

Super PC?:P

Check out my vid's too!

Simple...I don't use a PC -- I use a quad-core Xeon Mac Pro!!! ;0)

Actually, that's not a very big model, compared to some I've done...
