IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The poetry of glass in a hi-tech structure...;-)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I am a student in Architecture, at the University of Turin, in Italy. Together
with two other students (Roberto Matta and Matteo Luciano), I prepared a
project for a restaurant in Novello, a little place near Alba, in north Italy.
Once the project has been done, I created the 3d model, for a graphical
presentation at the evaluation exam. I've seen the current still topic, and I
decided to send you one of the several images created! The part highlighted in
the image is the dinner room, "by night", with an illumination model.
The concept of the project took about 3 months, and the creation of the
full-detail model requested 10 days of work..
I didn't uploaded the .dwg and .max files employed because they are too big (60
Mb total! 10 Mb zipped..)!!Too much for my poor 56K modem.
I will create, maybe this summer, a personal web-page with my works and some
interesting 3d-stuff. 
Excuse me for my sloppy english!!Cheers
