TOOLS THIS WEEK
	DESIGNING A SMITHSONIAN ROOF Foster + Partners won an invited international architecture competition in 2004 to design a new courtyard enclosure for the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, housed in the Old Patent Office building in Washington, D.C. Early in the project, the firm's Specialist Modelling Group was brought in to advise the project team on modeling techniques, to develop new digital tools, and help solve the complex geometric issues involved.
	BASICS - CG CONCEPTS Modeling is usually the first step in creating computer graphics (CG). It's the topic that garners a lot of coverage in publications and captures the interest of most budding CG artists.
