^ very wonderful forms and renderings, even when it would come all in chrome reflected. This is a good example of how 3D renderes went much faster developed virtually in programming of what is possible to be built by physics. In computer you can do all with talent people, but in reality, well... already real, unfortunatly. Makes me sad, because I know it is another project to be filled in the X-files pill in a desk of those many architectural studios worldwide, one more of thousand already made. Surely another exercise what's possible in computers about architecture to be presented some kind of symposium, things like that...
