flash back 10 years
You better believe it, 2017 is just beneath our doorstep! It was almost a decade ago... back in 2007 when I was a fresh graduate from my degree in LA. Memories came back as I dig through my backups.
I thought this was interesting, its a small art pieces. I got told about this competition one day before the due date and literally it was done in one night! and this is the result... and it won 2nd price to my surprise. That is when I started to understood how important an idea / concept is! Flashback below from 10 years ago.

The mock was done in Rhino basic model with light post production in PS.

PS. fence was pre-modeled in Rihno.
25km long corridor
Winding down with a 12m long roll plot for Saturday morning. Need to hammer out some analysis and get some preliminary design happening. where is my coffee...
