From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project
23 November 2022 Wednesday
It appears difficult to date any of Laura's prints to a specific year but there is a clear distinction among all of them: they are all signed either Lavora Piranesi or Laura Piranesi. Perhaps the prints signed Laura date to after Piranesi's death; he always called her Laura as an adult, and it was quite noticeably the name he said most the last several months of his life.
Of course, Francesco learned French at the French Academy, and he seemed to have a natural gift for picking up languages. But, there was also a power shift in geography going on with the American War of Independence and the European military men helping the revolutionary cause: Lafayette, von Steuben, Pulaski and more.

people who use movie quotes as a basis for conversation
"Only blank usefulness now remains visible."

people who use movie quotes as a basis for conversation
Eve: You spoke to my analyst about this behind my back? How could you! This is humiliating!
Joey: Renata, Renata! All I hear about is Renata!
Renata: Right! Drink yourself unconscious. That's the sort of writer's cliché you've never had trouble adjusting to.
Joey: Why do you stick with me? I give you nothing but grief!
Joey: At the center of a sick psyche is a sick spirit.
Joey: What happens to those of us who can't create?
Joey: I feel the need to express something, but I don't know what it is I want to express. Or how to express it.
Joey: She's a vulgarian!
Hotel Collagio: This is a great party.

does anyone model some famous architect's works?
The point of this thread is learning about building designs via model building, and yes one does learn a great deal about a building's design via building a model of it. Whether constructing a physical model or generating a computer model, both processes force one to look very carefully at the (available) drawings, and that is where the bulk of the learning occurs--trust me, after having done all the models at Quondam I know what I'm talking about. Of course, the learning continues once the model takes shape.
I was a professional (physical) model builder while an architectural student in the 1970s, and a professional computer model builder during the 1980s. Quondam's model collection was generated during the 1990s, and, for the most part, represents building designs that were never built.
does anyone model some famous architect's works?
Quondam's collection is the result of a personal project, one of wanting to "experience" buildings that otherwise do not exist.
Quondam's model collection is not exactly consistent: a few buildings are complete inside and out, some buildings are within their immediate context, many are fragmentary. The over-riding goal of virtually all the model building was indeed to continue learning architecture.

Re: Painting....officially completed?
There's (at least) a small party in Voodoo Valley Saturday evening, then it's probably moving downtown.
The Odds of Ottopia Desk starts production on schedule.
They're still all talking about the Otto, Gordon and Lafayette adventure on Quondam's 8th anniversary. Another Trumbauer Deconstruction Reenactment!
