Baha'i Temple - Santiago de Chile - Interiors

[Patrick Dalla Torre 66]

After watching a TED talk, where a Hariri Pontarini Architects' associate explained the process to create a sacred building, I have been inspired and decided to re-create the Baha'i Temple in 3D and update my portfolio with brand new CGIs. This project focuses on experimenting with materials, textures, lights, cameras and atmosphere. The whole building, interiors and the surrounding city are modelled in 3Dsmax, rendered with Corona Renderer and post-processed in Photoshop. All the references used are available online, on the Architects' website and Pinterest. The project divides into three sections due to the amount of work involved.​​​​ This section focuses on the interiors, the shapes the light casts and the atmosphere that the translucency of the white marble creates inside the building. The combination of all these factors gives the space the sensation of sacredness and peaceful.
