This week, the time-lapse footage shows preparation for reconstructing the 1880 circular driveway, uncovered during the archaeological excavation in October / November 2009. Remnants of the original roadway were uncovered under many layers of asphalt dating from 1880 to 1980, providing accurate positioning for reconstruction and details for gutter formation. Over the next few weeks garden formation will become clear.

This animation in 3D shows the water harvesting process at the Royal Exhibition Building. The animation commences with a rainy day and shows the path of the rain drops from the roof of the building to the drain pipes. The drops of rain are followed along the stormwater pipes, through the gross pollutant trap to the 1,350,000 litre underground water tank. Follow the journey of the rain and see what happens when the sun comes out.
Refer back to the blogs by Megan, 12 March (3D Visualisations) and 12 July (The water harvest process in 3D), and you can follow the connections of this 3D animation project by year 11 work experience students and Advanced 3D Modelling.

The footings of the "mysterious German Kiosk" were uncovered during phase 1 of this project - archaeological excavation - October / November 2009. In this section of time-lapse photography you can see the kiosk footings being reconstructed from evidence uncovered through archaeology. You will also see other services being installed before work commences on the circular roadway.
