From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE at MIT-MC>
The Lunar colony Project of the L-5 Society will shortly have a
writeup on the model and preliminary design as developed at the
L-5 Conference.  It all looks good.  David Criswell, formerly
one of the lunar rocks custodians at Lunar and Planetary Institute
(Rice/JSC joint thingy) was "very pleasantly surprised" at the
solid work and contributions the project made.  There will be
more design sessins, and L-5 is hoping to have a constructable
model which can actually be costed in another year or less.
	Count Dr. Renaldo Petrini of the American Institute of
architects  and professor of architecture at the University of
Houston was in charge of the design project and has interested a
number of other professional architects in continued work on it.
