This semester in college I have a 3D CAD class and we have to choose a project to do a model of. I am thinking of doing the McLaren Technology Center because of the nice curving facade where the cars are displayed, and its also done by Norman Foster who is one of my favorite architects. I do not even know if the building is open to the public yet or anything but I was just wondering if anyone has pictures of it. I preferably need detail pictures of the structure but if anyone has any good quality pictures of the area where the cars are on display, that would help as well. Thanks.

Run a search in www.flickr.com (http://www.flickr.com). lots of pics there. Or check some of my older posts.

not open to the public, but factory tours to the lucky people.
Check out mclaren.com There is a link to the website about the building. It was also featured on Channel4 TV for a UK building prize, so there are some videos floating around on that.
You should also check Sir Norman Fosters website. He did have some bits ages ago.
Lastly, check out Mercedes SLR pictures and Mercedes media site if you can get access, plenty of build pictures in there (and a few of the F1 race car in race bays)

Thanks for the responses, I have checked out Foster's website and some other random ones that I have found on Google, but I'll check those that you mentioned.
I guess I was just hoping for it to be open to the public. One of my friends here at school got to visit it while it was still under construction, I think she was working for Foster at the time. I don't think it was a picture taking visit, which is unfortunate.
At the end of the semester I will be sure to post some renderings of my 3D model. I am hoping to at least get the facade/display area done.

You have provided a link to a specific photo, I think. To get all the shots, you have to search for the "McLaren Technology Centre" tag on Flickr. And you will get one bonus photo if you search for McLaren Paragon.
