Before and after! Our #anglegrinders and #grindingdiscs have been putting a tremendous amount of work over the past 4 weeks. That was a key part of the edge beam plating process. #designbuild #collaboration #dalhousie #uaz #uncc #edgebeam #welding #experimental #architecture #gridshells #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #capebreton

Throwback to when we got our new welder on site #weldersinthemaking #designbuild #collaboration #welding #uncc #uaz #dalhousie #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #capebreton

It's all about the #curves #trusslife #stainlesssteel #collaboration #wedidit #uaz #uncc #dalhousie #designbuild #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #capebreton

The South West side was our final side! Let the lath placement continue! #gridshells #collaboration #uaz #uncc #dalhousie #stainlesssteel #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #capebreton #experimental #architecture #letsgo

Edge beam plate? Check! After a long summer and fall of working on our edge beam, we finally got it plated and ready for final structural welds!Congratulations to the various teams that made this possible! #wemadeit #stainlesssteel #gridshells #designbuild #collaboration #dalhousie #uncc #uaz #experimental #architecture #capebreton #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark

AND continued to happen! #progressmakesperfect #designbuild #collaboration #cheticamp #capebretonnationalhighlands #experimental #architecture #progress #dalhousie #uncc #uaz #gridshells #stainlesssteel

Then things continued to happen! #designbuild #collaboration #cheticamp #capebretonnationalhighlands #experimental #architecture #progress #dalhousie #uncc #uaz #gridshells #stainlesssteel

Our new workspace for the next few days #steelwork #capebretonnationalhighlands #novascotia #designbuild #gridshells #stainlesssteel #uncc #uaz #dalhousie #novascotia

Getting things done, one disc at a time. #anglegrinders #stainless #steel #designbuild #collaboration #uaz #uncc #dalhousie #capebretonnationalhighlands #novascotia #experimental #architecture

And just like that, pipes A and B are adjusted to the cortex position on the west side. We finally have a closed circuit for A and B! Next up, C on the East and West. #almostdone #designbuild #latergram #dalhousie #experimental #architecture #uncc #uaz #collaboration #stainlesssteel #hydraulicpress

End of day #leica survey to try and figure out pipe C on the East side #slowbutsteadyprogress #gridshells #collaboration #designbuild #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #uncc #uaz #architecture #dalhousie #novascotia

Repost from @mburt - Finishing off the summer with this GiRlZ cLuB #womeninarchitecture #designbuild #gridshell #architecture #exploration #collaboration

Stay tuned this week for a peak at the #eastside of the edge beam! #almostdone #gridshells #collaboration #wood #experimental #architecture #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #dalhousie #uncc #uaz #salmonpoolstrail

That #gridshell life. #designbuild #collaboration #dalhousie #uncc #uaz #wood #innovation #experimental #architecture #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark

Filmed some in-progress light shadow studies because Architecture 🤓 #Dalhousie #gridshell #architecture #experimental #GoPro

The East side is almost ready for plating!! #steel #welding #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #uncc #uaz #dalhousie #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #designbuild #collaboration
