well, this is the piece of architecture i will be modelling through this experiment.
i have obtained various books and internet websites that has helped me btain this information. the Nakagin Capsule Tower will be somewhat a challenge in terms of modelling the tight and 'curved' interior spaces. another factor which may cause some difficulties are trying to find decent dimensions for the whole ground plan. however, i did somehow obtain dimensions for each capsule, and since all the capsules are the same size, i will use it to develop the whole architecture. i will use the program, 3ds max 2008, in which i will use Vray to create a realistic atmosphere to the model.
