Description:


    This prototype is one of a series of courthouse designs created by Mies van der Rohe in the 1930s. The computer gr.iphics production team began with the original schematic design from a plan draw­ing, achieved a derivative version by adding components similar to those found in other projects designed and built by the architect, and used radiosity-based software to develop a visualization. The camera moves between and around the uniquely shaped elemental walls and reveals the pleasure of scenes full of material colors and the ambiance of sunlight.
