The Eliza Atlas: Floorplan

[UPDATE: I browsed my uploaded images on another computer and they looked TERRIBLE. On Matt's advice, I tried moving them to Flickr and linking to them there. Let me know if you still have trouble viewing them. If the text is illegible at standard resolution, that's understandable, but the shapes at least should be unbroken.]

Well, my Atlas is done for now. No Document just yet... I have fifteen pages on world history, the purpose and form of the ship, and the experiment that I'll refine and put up here at a later time. For the moment I've decided on posting the sexy stuff, the architectural design of the ship. You can view the drawings below, or see the larger drawings and comments in the Cache Flickr set.

I rounded out the architectural sketches with notes (purportedly written for investors) about the working of the Eliza and her various facilities and amenities. If anyone feels up to the task of poking holes in my ship design, from either a left-brained perspective ("you forgot to give them AIR") or a right-brained perspective ("I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw your font choice") I'd love to hear it.

I have another day and a half out here, then it's back to the East Coast for me! Once I return to my home country of Silver Spring, MD, I'm planning to sit down with everyone's else's atlas and give some feedback (maybe it's me... but it just feels anticlimactic, building these worlds for a year, presenting them, and then facing resounding critical silence).
