. A
Bird's Eye View of Bristol
By rights, this Best of the School Year entry could just as readily have gone in Computers & Tech, or Learning & Ed., or, for that matter, Arts & Craft. But if you've been following this RE:Creation section in DownStreet at all, then you know we're at least a little bit obsessed with aerial shots, shots from space, topo maps ... anything that'll give us a bird's eye view of the terrain. ... Imagine our surprise and pleasure, then, when we happened upon Lindsay Spaulding, a graduating Senior at Mount Abe. ... We were on a visit to Mount Abe to shoot the Covered Bridges project of the Applied Architecture class {see this month's Learning, another Best of the School Year Entry}. She was there with some of the other students from Applied Architecture, when their teacher, Paul Stetson, just happened to mention that a rather imposing piece of construction on a table nearby was Lindsay's Senior project {above, right}. It seems that for this Senior Project, Lindsay decided to reproduce Bristol to scale! ... Part of the graduation requirement for every Senior at Mount Abe, the Senior project usually runs over both of the last two semesters. Intended to allow students to demonstrate both a range of knowledge and a variety of competencies, it's also an opportunity for them to show their best work. ... And for Lindsay, who will be attending UVM to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering in the Fall, it seems like she not only thought she'd put her best foot forward, but get a head start on that degree, as well. ... The project -- a 3-D topo of Bristol -- made use of a laminated construction technique to layer successive altitudes. ... Needless to say {only because we have a couple of pictures to show you, see below}, the amount of effort and attention to detail that went into her project is pretty phenomenal. We'll leave you here now to get a close up of this great project and pick out your own details. The photos below link to larger images. Simply click on them.
