Description

This study of the Basilica Julia, shows the front façade of the building. This study does not take into account the rising ground on which the basilica was actually built. It was initiated by Julius Caesar just two years before his death in 46 BC and completed by Octavian. The building burned down shortly after it was completed. Octavian had it rebuilt and rededicated in the name of his nephews in 12 AD. The building had three stories with engaged columns; Doric columns on the first floor, Ionic columns on the second floor and Corinthian columns on the third floor (not visible here). The first two floors were supported by 17 arches on the long sides and seven arches on the short sides. The interior of the building was divided lengthwise into three segments; a main hall (nave) flanked on either side by allae (narrower halls). The main hall was used as a law court. There was probably a tribunal on one end.

This work was executed as a 3-D graphic using Sketchup, Modo, Zbrush, Octane Render software by Sebastian Michalski. Architectural elements (Corinthian columns) were based on the work of Andrea Palladio, found in his book “I Quattro Libri Dell’Architectura” Book I, chapter XVII-the Corinthian Order, reprint 1760.

After the fall of Communism, Balcerowicz guided Poland from a centralized planning to a free market economy. It was his shock therapy that was responsible for setting the Polish economy on the path to steady growth even during the economic recession of 2008-9. Poland is now one of the fastest growing economies in the EU.

In 2017, Sebastian prototyped and produced world’s first fully water-cooled workstation with 11 graphics cards.
