Bronze star for the entry plaza of the Texas State History Museum in Austin, Texas. I 3D solid modeled the bronze star cladding, stainless steel interior star framing and granite stone bases in AutoCAD while employed at TBG Partners. The solid model was used to generate the 2D construction documentation. The museum opened in the spring of 2001.
