Hello. My name is Logan, and I'm a second year student at LSU. Our studio is designing a museum for Mark Rothko, and our site is the open park space just to the west of the Menil Collection. I was wondering if there would be an way that you could send me the sketchup files that you have done. They are of exceptional quality and would greatly assist me in my site analysis/project design. Thank you so much. My email is logan.hall.24@gmail.com.

Hi Antonio, this is a wonderful model! I am a second year student at CMU and hope to use your 3D model to generate a series of angled sections, plans and elevations that I will ultimately lasercut (plexi) and construct into a model. Could you send me this sketch up file? I will credit you in my presentational work.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Antonio,

I am currently an architecture student and currently working on a scale model of the Menil Collection for Material and Methods class. We have to represent the structural elements of the building.
All of the sources that we pulled from the library do not have any dimensions to the architectural drawings.
I would like to ask you to send a copy of the Google Sketchup Model to byang98120@gmail.com Your model looks very precise and would be a great tool to construct our model.

Thank You

I'LL RENDER YOUR MODEL FOR FREE!

As I can see you have already been asked many times to share your model. I would like to ask the same as I'm doing a lighting study of it. I would fully credit you with the model creation and would be happy to give you any rendered images I produce. If you set up scenes in sketchup I will know which views you want and which time of day.

Email: thepolarblair@googlemail.com

You can see some of my renders at:

http://blairyoung.wix.com/blair-young

My work is not great but I have come much further on in my render technique since making the site so I don't think you will be disappointed.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Blair
