IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

 The scene was inspired by I poster I own from a piranesi exhibition several
 years ago in Stuttgart. An architectural vision created by the italian
 architect Giovanni Batista Piranesi, who lived in the 18th century. He made
his
 money with prints of the ancient Rome, his famous dungeon pictures and several
 monumental projects like this. For obvious reasons none of his projects has
 ever been built. 
 This project is for sure inspired by his early venetian years.
 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

 This project is again a pure CSG model.
 
 buildings: lots of boxes Cylinders, cones, tori, prisms ...
 water    : isosurface
 Obelisk  : two prism and a hieroglyphic true type font from the web,
positioned
            in a kind of puzzle
 Statues  : cones, cylinders, spheres
 
 The main work has been the positioning of the models.
