Components

Eight parts of the building, each on its own sheet. Every one started as a standard interface component and was rebuilt from architecture: doors, models, title blocks, louvres, lifts.

Started asA four-step process stepper.

BecameThe ASALA method as a construction-sequence elevation: Audit is survey and foundations, Specify is the frame, Architect is the envelope, Launch turns the lights on, and Attend keeps it cared for and signalling. Tabs with arrow keys; the drawing builds to the chosen stage.

The column on the left of every page is the lift. Floors are listed top to bottom, Ground to Bedrock; the car rides the shaft as you scroll and the readout gives the depth in metres. Click a floor to travel. On this page the floors are the sheets.

On a phone the shaft becomes a compact level indicator in the top bar; “Floors” opens the directory between two lift doors.

Tiles are laid course by course from the bottom, alternating direction as a bricklayer would, until a square-grid figure appears: a square and a rotated square around a centre. The percentage is Hanken with tabular figures, exposed as a progressbar.

Reduced motion: the finished figure is shown at once.

Started asA spinner / progress bar.

BecameLaying courses: a loader that builds a geometric figure tile by tile on a square grid. Used while the title block files.
