Alexeus Nicol Architectural Designer
In my Digital Rendering class, I chose to recreate the California Academy of Sciences by Renzo Piano. I decided to focus mainly on the roof and its structure as I believe this to be the most impressive feature and the most difficult to replicate.
I also created a video that represents the beauty and grace found in the roof.
My professor was extremely pleased with my work. Finally, we presented our digital renderings, our video, and a physical model to a jury of prominent professors from visiting colleges.
