I was watching a show on the Discovery channel last Tuesday that created a nice link between the only two classes I'm taking this semester: animation and architecture. The show is called Strip The City and it uses cgi to display what it takes to make a city function properly. Last weeks episode was about San Francisco and the computer graphics literally "stripped" the city down to it's skeleton to show things like plumbing, subway systems, steel pilings, and supports in a very elegant and interesting way.
A company in Canada called Modus FX does the animations for the show.
Here's the Modus site
And here are some screen shots from the show:
It's on again tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 9:00pm and I would definitely suggest giving it a look.
