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.
