It is here finally! The first shop along the main street of V City is a small one with a big name. The new Disney Store offers different products of its several franchises, including PIXAR and Star Wars.
The client (of course I am making this up) wants a small modern building, but contains some essence of its brand. Undoubtedly the castle becomes the starting point for my design brainstorming session. My initial idea is a little box with a castle, and I began to break down the important elements from the castle to form the design language.
The facade profile of the building comes from the two side towers above, and I only extracted the cut-corner shape. This slightly chamfered entrance also helps the portal stand out better.
Modular Pharmacy, detail: The old pharmacist lets his mind drift back to happier days when he was in charge of business. Nowadays, his young apprentice runs everything.
A modular school.

Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.
Modular Pharmacy, detail: Top floor with corner table, TV set and remote control. Sadly, the TV set is mono only, and strangely appears to be hooked up to Windows.
And the construction resumes after a long time. The second and third order came in with only one day difference.
The idea behind this is the fact that my LEGO minifigs have no real residential areas (not counting the weekend houses). When I first saw Orangyal007's small-scale modular house (www.flickr.com/photos/51018897@N03/6306582895/in/photostream) I knew what to do.
This is the front of the ice cream shop I've created back in 2009. Pictures are already on Brickshelf but since I'm not able to access that account anymore I decided to upload this onto my Flickr account as well.
I still didn't have the heart to take it apart. I've even upgraded most of them over the years. You can find more photo's and information in my flickr stream.
If you want any detail photo's, just ask. I'd be happy to post them.
Modular Apartment, ground floor detail: A barrel full of leisure gear, a fishing rod and a life vest are among the items stored in the garage.
Coming soon, two new modules from Pittsburgh Modular. From Rick at Pittsburgh:
"Dual Index: ($139 available in September) An 8hp high quality dual linear VCA with both offset gain and attenuation plus a mix out and room for my big fingers. This module is based on the Generator's Index circuit. Nice warm sound.
VCBend: ($139 available in September) A 6hp control voltage modulation module. This module takes the bipolar control voltage input and bends it to the amount of the CV input in relation to the Internal Voltage Reference pot. This module favours esoteric applications over precision. More often than not the output voltage does not resemble the input in any way. The control voltage output of this module is always positive. Both the control voltage input and VC input are attenuverted."

New module announcement initially posted on Pittsburgh Modular's Twitter page: twitter.com/pghmodular .
Paper: 5 x 2,5 cm (Kami and test sheets marbled with acryilcs)
Modules: 24 + 24
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Floral Origami Globes p. 55-57
Experimented with marbling paper. Since I had no bowl to marble larger sheets I used an old flat tea can and marbled 5cm sheets. For a first try the result is o.k. (better than the photo shows) and it forced me to fold something modular after quite some time....
Having marbled 12 sheets, I folded a Sonobe cuboctahedron aka 24 units cube.
Edit: Replaces photo with a better one.
At first it just said "BAR," but that seemed a bit too "on the nose." I was able to squeeze in a "1" -
"Bar One" seems like a legit name, right?

Modular Apartment, exterior detail: The DJ is sporting his trademark haircut, which he actually copied from Joseph. Joseph is a big Clutchers fan, by the way, hence the jacket.
Ground floor with reception, waiting area, doctor's office and ambulance garage.

Showing the sliding elevator doors. I really really wanted to make elevator doors that actually looked like elevator doors, and could slide open. Took me ages to get to this final solution.

My friends (mostly) Polyfusion modular synthesizer. There is some other stuff in there (MOTM , Modcan , Asys , Roland , TC , Doepfer) but it is 90% Polyfusion. It is a unique beast.

Introducing the Analog Delay, from Pittsburgh Modular.
This is a brand new 16 HP analog delay designed around two 4096 stage low noise BBD chips. The Analog Delay features a clean 9/10ths of a second adjustable delay time and CV control of Rate, Feedback, and Mix.
The delay range starts at about 55ms up to several seconds of "sludge". The maximum delay is set with a trim pot so you can choose to use the "sludge" or not. The module will ship with the max delay time set at 9/10ths of a second.
The delay will self oscillate and can be FM'd using the Rate CV input.
Note: the picture is of the prototype. The final layout has changed. The module is now available and it costs $249. More details via our webpage: www.analoguehaven.com/pittsburghmodular/analogdelay/ .

This has been sat on my shelf since last summer, but today I decided to tidy it up, make it look presentable, and upload it finally. There is still no interior, just an escalator on the bottom/second floor. I don't think I'll create the inside yet, but I'll certainly have a go at it when I have some free time.
Modular Pharmacy, detail: First floor with spiral staircase and a couch design shamelessly stolen from Brickshelf user 'sheep'.
Felt, thread and sterling silver. April 2011.
I've been experimenting with laser cutting felt, which doesn't smell too good hahaha. I have stitched together this form because I am currently working on a series of jewellery based on the theme: Organic Modular Structures, and I've also been experimenting with the relationship between textiles and metal.
The building interior is simple, and is divided into several themes. First it is the Star Wars zone, where guests can find a lot of Star Wars toy and apparels. You can also design your own lightsaber at the “Build Your Own Lightsaber” shelf, and I made reference from the existing shops in Disneyland.
Our LUG's next building challenge is a modular standard building but only 8 studs wide. I randomly picked a blue and dark gray 8x16 so I thought it'd be neat to have a lake house. Of course, now I have to hope it'll eventually be displayed next to some water.
I kept the masonry bricks out of this because while it might look like it needs more detail on the outside, typical lake/beach houses are long slats. I thought it might look better.
Next step is to order all the parts I don't already have. I'm really happy with this one, so I hope it holds up IRL.
