This is project that I'm currently working on for fun. I saw a picture of the first Saltair dance and bathing pavilion on Shorpy's Historical picture archive site, and decided it would make a challenging and fun project.

The original Moorish-inspired structure, and its cresent-shaped piers stood on 2500 pilings located 4000 ft from the Eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake, and was reached by a long railroad trestle.
   There are no blueprints, drawings or elevations known to still exist, but I was able to find quite a few pictures via web searching that are making it possible to figure out proportions and scale.
   
I must say that I'm very happy with Carrara's renderer; though I've modeled this with mostly quads and some tri's,(using Wings) I know there are a few "N-gons" still lurking in the mesh. But Carrara doesn't seem to care, as long as all the polys are planar. I've read on various boards that a lot of Arch-VIZ guys use, and depend on N-gons and (shudder) booleans to make their Building and structure models. Does using an occasional N-gon make me a bad person? Do any of you guys stoop to using them?
