Production Notes:
The design called for a huge number of panels suspended from 7 layers
of wires passing through the roof trusses both above and below the slab.
I wrote a maxscript program to semi-randomly generate the 50,000(!) panels
according to rules supplied by the architect. This allowed the project
to be completed in a reasonable amount of time, and in a manner the computers
could handle.
The bright areas in the night shot are due light
spilling from the thousands of skylights in the concrete slab roof.
