The play of light to elluminate Architecture

All architecture is great architecture after sunset, perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.
-Gilbert K. Chesterton


Such is the Singapore Opera House.

Try, try and you'll suceed...

The AutoCad bedroom render redered in 3DMax for the first time. There is a list of problems to this render, the lighting and the materials. But, as they say: " Try, try and you'll suceed."

Precedent Study


For the Go Kart Centre I have decided to study the intertwining forms of the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre. The building is located in the historical area of Stockholm and took 5 years from design to completion. The strongest element of this building is the continuous layering of the transparent skin that evokes the very basis of any "Box" design in a historical area. As with my project, the building is located between the historical area of the city center and the main harbour.
