This is a sample module of the structural roof system of the Menil Collection building, designed in 1987 by architect Renzo Piano and engineering firm ARUP, modeled in sketchup and rendered in 3dsmax vray, in a studio-like set up. A synthetized and compact model of the posts (deliberately shortened), the cement leaves filtering the sun light, the triangular iron girder truss and the glass panels support on top of it. This ensemble unit forms the iconic roof of the Menil Collection. It is repeated all throughout the building, for the exterior perimeter as for the interior galleries.
