The sub-ceiling (or super-ceiling) is 90% complete. The picture below shows only the panels in the center of bus. The sides are down at the moment for wiring.
Having the entire ceiling faced with ply will make arraying and dilling up the acrylic a quick and clean install. The Yun-Pei and Marion custom sanded panels are gorgeous. We were able to get a huge discount on scrap acrylics from Laird Plastics up by Carrier Circle. Only a day or two of work drawing, laser cutting and cleaning left to do before they go up.

the cool thing also was once we sat back and were looking at the beautiful ceiling mock-up - was to reflect as a group on how different our work processes are/were. We artists seem to work more intuitively and by sight and touch, the id designers need some overarching plan but the process remains tactile, and the architects don't seem to have the same need to "see and touch" in advance but rather can imagine it, throw it into CAD and then visualize when it is done. Very interesting and glad that we were able to appreciate our different work strategies. Of course this is generalizing and reflects the people present in our group.
yes, that was a notable moment in our process. Though, it was Zach and my idea to lay the pieces out and get a sense of the scale and color arrangement. Don't discredit our love for tactility just because we use CAD! :)
