The video is by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kuhikuhi.net\/parochat\/?cat=contact\">Pierre-Abraham Rochat<\/a> who did this video, i think, as part of his  Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 HES in visual communication  (d\u00e9partement Media and Interaction Design) at l&#8217;Ecal (\u00e9cole cantonale d&#8217;art de Lausanne) in 2005. It had been completely done with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blender3d.com\/cms\/Home.2.0.html\">blender<\/a> (about blender see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/?p=171\"> previous post<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>His video reminds me of another very cool architectural video, named <a href=\"http:\/\/michalevy.com\/gs_main.html\">&#8220;Giant Steps&#8221;<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/michalevy.com\/\">Michal Levy<\/a> (see first image) &#8211; also a graduation project in a Visual Communication Department (at the academy of Arts and Design at Bezalel). However Levy&#8217;s project is rather a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Synaesthesia\">synaesthetic<\/a> visual play with the music &#8220;Giant Steps&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_William_Coltrane\">John Coltrane<\/a>, while Rochat&#8217;s piece is more about the architectural abstraction of a narrative (although the sound is also not bad!).<\/p>\n<p>Merci to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/page.php?Article=391550\">M.
