forest museum

Project:  Kyusendo Forest Museum, Over looking Kuma River near Kumamoto City, Japan
Architect:  Yssufumi Kijima
Rendering Size:  768W x 512H (Pixels)
Medium:  Computer Generated
Commission:  Self commissioned

Beautifully sited, this project features seven copper shingled domes that repeat the surrounding hills.  The museum is pretty true to life, but higher mountains have been added in the background. 

The buildings were modeled in trueSpace5 and then imported into Bryce4 where the materials and textures were added as well as lighting, the land forms and water.  A little post-processing in Paint Shop Pro.
