Fallingwater - FLW Meets Half Life 2 2007-09-24 13:49:00 Interesting video of Fallingwater in Bear Run, Pennsylvania that was produced using the Half Life
2 Source gaming engine. The Google Sketchup version can be found here. Needless to say, these three dimensional models would seem to be highly pragmatic devices for teaching Architecture in primary, secondary and post-secondary school environments. Something that is lost when viewing either pictures or slides in an academic presentation and can not be viewed first hand due to budget and/or time constraints in one's academic schedule.Digital Urban LinkOfficial Fallingwater Site

Richard Rogers: Barajas Airport, Madrid 2007-09-07 09:54:00 Interesting video of Pritzer Prize winning architect RichardRogers
' Barajas
Airport in Madrid
, Spain. A short excerpt from the firm's website appears below:"...A simple palette of materials and straightforward detailing reinforce the direct character of the architecture. Internally, the roof is clad in bamboo strips, giving it a smooth and seamless appearance. In contrast, the structural 'trees' are painted to create a kilometre-long vista of graduated colour. The lower levels of the building house baggage handling, storage and plant areas, and offer a striking contrast with the lightweight transparency of the passenger areas above."Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners LinkRichard Rogers Wiki
