Walking City by Universal Everything
While browsing the net for information about parametric architecture modeling, I stumbled upon this mesmerizing video today I want to share with you all. In ‘Walking City’ you’ll see a computer generated figure constantly in motion end evolving through an array of architectural forms. Matt Pyke of Universal Everything multimedia studio directed this piece, referencing the utopian visions of the 1960’s architecture practice Archigram. It’s not short so try to stick with it to the end. All that you’ll see was done with Houdini. Enjoy!

Salle Labrouste by Bertrand Benoit
Bertrand Benoit revisits Paris again. After La Maison de Verre, he goes for an even more vintage building – The Interior of the Labrouste reading hall at the “Richelieu” branch of the French National Library (1862-1868). As always, it was all modeled by him using 3dsmax and heavy use if iToo Software‘s RailClone plugin for 3dsmax. Wonderful inspiration for the beginning of this week!
