skrebbel: the mies van der rohe pavillon in the video actually exists, in barcelona :)
not the original one though, it's a rebuild.

styx, if i understand things well, all the buildings in the video actually exist. at least there's the calatrava sun blinds in it.
more sceners should put cool buildings in demos. or other stuff that looks like cool buildings.

i second this. also, i'd like to express that the way you just said that was really funny.
[qoute]i love good architecture, especially when it doesn't actually exist. (hi pixtur!) [/qoute]
yeh, but i wouldt want to live in a real building designed by a demoscener. probably wakeup dead one morning and buried under a pile of bricks. :o

feck my quoting skills
i can deny some scene are quite beautiful and the fact this is really good work but some scenes are boring (especially in the beginning) and there is no real story or spirit its more a camera "fly-by" where you have just to shut up and watch.
for eg i found "life force" having really more strength than this. this is what I call art.

That's one hell of a show reel.
rtype, which is why i included the "especially when it doesn't actually exist"
then again, nearly all hot-shot architects are equally horrible at making buildings that can stay up and have maintenance costs under six billion a year. usually it's the hired construction engineers who, in my eyes, perform much of the real magic: despite the architect's insistence that his fortune-costing art piece has all supporting walls made of cardboard, they turn the idea into a building that actually works. sometimes.
a company in holland recently gave a go for a building with a four-floor high lobby in the middle, with a glass rooftop. when asked how that rooftop was ever going to be cleaned, the architect answered that it was going to be "self-cleaning glass".
they typically end up pretty buildings though.

actually, i knew. now read the story again and tell me how that wikipedia article answers the question how the horizontal glass rooftop was going to be cleaned.
it's the whole point, really - architect reads story about self-cleaning glass and hooray, another great idea is born. didn't bother to read that all it really was is glass that dirt sticks less well onto. what's it going to do, wipe the bird-poo off itself by magic?

When some scenes started I was like "WTF?! :D"
Part of the (virtual) shooting is here in Barcelona, Auditori.
I studied (and also sang) here, there's a famous music school in the same building.

bdk: thank you very much for those link, I was sure the mirroring on the marble texture was some kind of technical error or laziness :)
And about the video itself, it shows great talent and even greater dedication. To those who critique it, the real achievement is not to use some nice texture and radiosity to make a credible material, or to tick on the DOF effect. It's to combine everything together to make a very nice video, and spending enough time to do the searches and fill in all the small details. Like someone said in the other thread, it's not a multimillion dollars movie project with a hundred people crew, It's one dedicated guy, doing it for free.
And now he'll get a job and will never have enough free time to repeat this masterwork again :)

Really beautiful stuff. The whole thing gave me Gattaca flashbacks. It was probably the plain concrete walls, minimalism and the soundtrack which sounded 90% like the Gattaca soundtrack :-)
