The exercise shows how a simple SketchUp 3D volume, defined solely by its basic geometry, can be transformed into a complex architectural proposal. Starting from the initial schematic model, the system interprets proportions, levels, and shapes, and converts them into a fully developed building, complete with textures, vegetation, lighting, and an urban context

One more 3D building in Avenida de la Vega. Restaurante Asiático SHENG. Madrid, Spain.
I used to have lunch every thrusday there, at the ‘Restaurante Asiático SHENG’. I strongly recommend you ‘entremeses’ (In China you will find them as ‘dim-sum’) and Cantonese duck or Hong Kong duck (this was slightly spicy thou). Very good food, very fast service and pretty cheap menu: 10,7 €… ideal for an IT worker!. TheseContinue reading “One more 3D building in Avenida de la Vega. Restaurante Asiático SHENG.
