http://facetstudio.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

I meant to say: a quick update on a quick-moving project. Here are the quick lines from site before weekend:. They are working on form work of roof structure over student lounge. They are almost finished working on steel reinforcing bars for 2nd floor over wc, storage, entrance lobby and 2nd floor of chapel. They are pouring concrete on to chapel building up to 2nd floor level on Saturday. We have created a specific series of hand-made ceramic tiles for the facade of Doshisha Chapel Complex.

FACET STUDIO BLOG: Finishing Touches

http://facetstudio.blogspot.com/2015/02/finishing-touches.html

I am always fascinated by the sudden transformation finishes can make to a construction site. Is currently in that process of "getting finished"; covering up services, structure, like how our skin covers up our organs and bones. Here are some photos from site as per yesterday FEB 23:. Flooring to Student Lounge side, setting out from facade fins. Ceiling to Chapel side (getting speakers and lighting installed too). Junction of inside and outside - water feature to outside getting tiled at the same time.

FACET STUDIO BLOG: October 2014

http://facetstudio.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Doshisha "You Are Here". The more the site develops, the more it is becoming maze-like. Lets have a little orientation session so we know what we are looking at. Here is an elevation of Doshisha Chapel Complex. The red dot is where we stand. A little bit more oriented or did I manage to confuse you more? Well, I just realised that we can actually stand on top of the buildings now! Few more months to go. 頑張りましょう! Is still constantly requested by press after the years! Awards amp; press. Lots of unpredicta...

FACET STUDIO BLOG: November 2014

http://facetstudio.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Day 67 - Almost There. Heading towards the last day of Meudon. New" held within "old". A view to be remembered. Has completely finished, we have to make a start on another site last week. It was a 4am start, in order to minimise any disturbance to neighbours. We were starting on building the mezzanine structure to the soon-to-be restaurant first. By end of Day 1, we had most of the mezzanine bones up - hooray! Surveying the mezzanine height. One of the complicated steel junctions at top of the stair.

FACET STUDIO BLOG: January 2015

http://facetstudio.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

It has been quite emotional to browse through the hundreds of Doshisha. Site photos coming through the past few weeks. Now the project is coming closer to wrap up, a lot of the hardwork in the process is evident. It is so nice to see things coming together. Take this little toilet window as one example. Close up of window. Top and bottom of the window fall in line with the tiles, and there is no tiny off-cut tiles to left and right of the window; it is of course designed to happen this way, not accidental.
