      Hi folks

      say, I have a client who'd like me to design him a building like the house that Tom Cruise stayed in, in the movie. I've been surfing around trying to find some photos of that building, but no luck yet. Lot's of pics of Tom Cruise but not many of the architecture. Don't have a dvd player for my tv so can't go and rent the movie.

      then I thought that maybe some of you Architectural People here might know where I could go and look for those photos, or better yet, some drawings of that building. Who would I contact to ask for these things?

        I don't know about drawings. Maybe head over to Walmart. You can probably pick up a dvd player for under $50. Then with the movie you can pause/review as needed to get a really good look-see. You'll also see what he saw. (Reproducing the actual set may be far more complicated than reproducing the 'feel' of the movie).

        Regards, Ross

              Hi Joe..your computer should have a DVD player in it. You could rent the DVD and watch it right on your PC, for free!

              Just a thought. Oh, and I'd be very interested to see your work on this! I love Japanese architecture.

              Good luck!
