{{tag>:modules:module conforming historic half_block}} [<>] ====== Library ====== **Designer:** [[designers:Jennifer Heaton]] **Designed:** February 2013 ===Designer's Notes=== I'd been looking for something to do with those lion heads for ages, and they seemed just right for a big downtown library. I really like the way the decorative details worked out on this build. The hardest part was making the front steps. Using jumper plates to build steps works well, but it's impossible to fill in under them. I finally settled for having the steps mostly filled in; I try not to think of what would accumulate in that space in real life. It's difficult to mark something as a library at Micropolis scale. The lions help, but a lot of people think this building looks like a bank. So I put in a tiny blue and white tile with a printed book on the corner. While Micropolis has lots of buses, this is the only module I've seen with a bus stop. I always imagine the Micropolis city council and urban planners sitting around arguing about this sorry state of affairs. {{gallery>http://bit.ly/14qUfKt}} [<>] ---- ~~DISQUS~~
