Some of you asked to see Big Guy's pentagon project. This is the model he made. He also had to do a 11 slide Power Point project that include all of the geometric aspects of the building as well as it was a project for his math class.

That is amazing!! I am really impressed. I have to argue with the 7 minutes thing - that assumes you know where you are going. The offices are numbered kind of weird - according to wing, ring, and hall. The last time I went - my boss got the numbering mixed up and we wandered around that thing forever! ha.
that is very detailed! hope he got a 100+ for it
Impressive...I think you have an architect developing there.
