ARCH 382 - What's the Plan?

The Brooklyn Rail Yard is a vital means of transportation for materials and products to and from Portland's inner core. In the midst of the trains, trucks and cranes is a fascinating device used in the past to rotate steam engines onto alternative tracks. Associated with this industrial artifact is a roundhouse that contains three historically significant steam engines.


The program for this term will be to design a place where the public can interact with the roundhouse, the engine rotating device and the steam engines - as well as various other artifacts - in a new location about a mile to the north east of their present location.

I would rather be an engine than a caboose.

He already is the engine, but I agree with the above comment. Your blog's headline photo is brilliant.
