Hurva synagogue, First proposal by Louis kahn

A 3D recreation of Louis Kahn's first proposal for the Hurva synagogue. All textures, models (except the trees) and lighting were done by me.
It is still in the process of optimising to be VR ready because what better way to experience the unbuilt then in virtual reality.

Here are some additional angles demonstrating how the light penetrates into the inner sanctum.

View from within one of the stone pylons.

Panoramic view from the upper level.

Here is a shot, late in the day, to show how the stone and concrete take on the characteristics of the light.

Here is a close up of the concrete texture. A Material detail node was used to get a nice micro bump on the surface.

The same method used for the concrete was applied to the rough stone used for the seats. It allowed for a nice variation in surface texture when up close.
