It uses an arduino microcontroller instead of a serial mouse, and I wrote the software to convert the BMP image to a continuous line drawing. joetcochran.googlepages.com/sketchduino www.etchapic.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBKZ_CVnf4E I wish I had these guys' emails so I could thank them for the excellent writeup they did.

]]> Comment on Don’t be brutal to Robin Hood Gardens by Andrew http://adaptivereuse.net/2008/03/05/dont-be-brutal-to-robin-hood-gardens/#comment-58362 Andrew Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:51:34 +0000 http://adaptivereuse.net/2008/03/05/dont-be-brutal-to-robin-hood-gardens/#comment-58362 Demolishing it is a travesty. Why? It doesn't have to be ugly. Give it some color, accentuate the architectural highlights, let it stand out as a beacon rather than a blight. Label it blight, and that's what people will think. Lend it some illumination and thinking changes. The place needs a light color scheme, so that at night it isn't just people's yellow-lit windows. See http://glasssteelandstone.com/Temp/Singapore/Sing40.jpg for painted color, see http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/3077709559_dbe29ec98f.jpg?v=0 for illumination. Demolishing it is a travesty.

Use it for some purpose. The walls and building must be build like a tank and have many years of life left (if you don't mind glowing in the deark). Seriously there must be some purpose for it. Adaptive reuse should be considered. This is my favorite adaptive reuse example in Illinois USA. http://evanston-condos.com/adaptive-reuse-recyling-condos-progress.htm They took an old steel cutting plant and are turning it into small business and living lofts.
