HoMa's World of Bricks ...

Frauenkirche Dresden – Construction

	Testing the scale of the main window.
	This floor plan helped a lot cause it shows windows and walls.
	The beginning. The scale was defined by the arched bricks.
	I also used this sheer plan to work out the dimensions and relations.
	SNOT (Studs No On Top) in the facade.
	The tower grows. It is helpful to build the outer facade, the window and the inside parallel.
	A real challenge: the old structure in tower E.
	Sometime a tan part was needed.
	Building the inside needed some planing. At this stage I didn't know if the columns should be 3 or 4 studs wide. In the end they became 3 studs wide.
	The column design is fixed so let's go on with the inside structure.
	See the ring of windows in the first floor of the inner structure.
	Two weeks before 1000steine-Land event the church looked like this. After 300 hours of work between March and August 2006 the Frauenkirche was finished and shown in Berlin.
