Level 17 : Journeyman Miner

In celebration of Canada's upcoming 150th Anniversary, I decided to recreate one of it's more iconic buildings. The Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada's Capital.



Real Life History

The East and West blocks were finished in 1872. The current Centre Block was completed in 1920 after the original was destroyed in a fire in 1916. Since then Parliament Hill has been home to the canadian Government. It's also known for it's celebrations of Canada day every . year with thousands of people packing the hill to watch musical acts and see the fireworks. the Grounds of the Parliament Buildings are open to the public and guided tours of the Centre Block are available.



Minecraft

I recreated the buildings in minecraft to 1:1 scale. That means that 1 meter in real life is equal to one block in Minecraft. This also means that the angles, heights and ground elevations should also match their real life counterparts. At this time in real life the area between the Centre and West blocks is undergoing major construction so I just skipped that area for now until it's completion IRL in 2018. Currently the project is about 85% done with some details around the back of the centre Block as well as the Library still needing to be completed.
