Week 1 Independent Study

To measure and document Town Hall Station as accurately as possible I have decided to use obtain information through the use of photography, video/sound recording, note taking and to make some rough sketches. Many of the elements of Town Hall station are quite repetitive such as the treads of the stairs and escalators, balustrades, platforms, columns and many other objects. This will require me to only measure one set of these on any platform and I will able to apple such dimensions to all of the other similar items around the station.

The advantage to taking photographs and note taking of the station is that I’ll be able to refer back to them when I am back at home trying to model it in Solidworks. Objects such as the public telephones, ticket gates and machines can be measure at any station making myself look less suspicious while observing Town Hall station. Such objects can also be used as a reference object within photographs. If I know the length of such an object, I can use its length and scale to measure other objects which I was unable to measure at Town Hall station.
