SUSTAINABILITY IN 3D TECHNOLOGY

The 21st century is defined by sustainability, encouraging ecological awareness and an eco-friendly lifestyle. With the rise of this go-green movement, the concept of sustainable architecture has become popular and is now commonly discussed. In the construction phase, the use of natural and organic materials, conscious recycling of construction waste and saving energy at construction sites are being implemented as part of this environmentally friendly movement. Not just limited to the construction phase, the pre-construction and design process is also imbibing sustainability through the spectrum of tools offered by visualization today.  This term sustainability is not only limited to the environment, but also concerns the efficient use of time, energy, resources and money. Keeping that in mind, there are multiple ways in which 3D visualization aids architects and designers to do their bit in being sustainable. High quality digital 3D renderings help the designer and client to sa...

Architectural Visualization- Then Vs Now

Throughout history architectural visualization has been the means of communication between clients and designers. Drawings and hand sketches have always been the foreground of any project. Fast forward to today, design is not only visualized using softwares, but is also virtually experienced for a better understanding and comprehension of the project. Since the Italian architect Brunelleschi introduced depth based perspective drawings in 1415, the concept of hand renderings have evolved from simple 2D line drawings to 3D visual representations. One of the most well-known instances of a visualization that deviates from realistic portrayal is Joseph Michael Gandy's watercolour painting of John Saone’s Bank of England. The artwork presents Saone’s project in the most flattering light possible, suggesting that it will be as monumental and enduring as the ruins of Rome. In contrast, the Bauhaus in the 1920s moved away from visualizations based on the human perspective and instead m...

How Is 3d Visualization Used In Architecture?

Visual communication is steadily taking over the realm of design and architecture, where imagination takes a tour of reality and experiences. Here is how 3D visualization and renderings wear different hats today and are pivotal in the AEC industry. Being handled independently by artists and creators, they can be leveraged as an expressive medium, a marketing tool, a tool for error detection and much more! Multiple Design Iterations 3D visualization and renderings have found their way into varied fields, albeit being overpowered in the architectural world. One can envision their desired designs through realistic 3D renders and immersive video flythrough – pushing the envelope of virtual reality. The ability to strike a chord with hyper-realistic scenes and spatially manoeuvre through multiple iterations is striking! Faster Council and Community Approvals In urban-scale projects, one major milestone is gaining council and community approval to physically build the project. 3D re...

360 VIRTUAL TOURS – GROWING FAVORITE AMONG DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS

2019 has already set an exciting stage for the VR world. A number of industries – education, health, design and military – have seen widespread application of Virtual Reality. Teachers can now take their students on virtual tours to historical sites within the comfort of their classroom; healthcare and military professionals can be trained in the use of advanced and expensive equipment without the risk of damage. Lastly, it helps design professionals to create and experience their work even before it takes physical form. Advanced technology has enabled us to usher in a new, modern world of breath-taking visualization experiences! In the field of Architect & Design , this technology has significantly improved the workflow of architects in ways that were never possible earlier. Advances in VR technology have paved the path to a better, more efficient, and faster design process. Read on to find out the seven most critical reasons why designers should adapt to this technology and...

ANIMATION IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Over the last few decades, architectural presentation has undergone major developments. With the advent of computer-aided technologies, the architect’s hand drawings have gradually given way to highly sophisticate architectural design software capable of creating these presentations through CAD (Computer Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modelling).   In the early years of computer technology, two major industries took advantage of this computing power. The film industry saw the potential of using computer-aided visual effects in movies to create convincingly realistic effects and sci-fi environments.   The Gaming industry saw massive potential in using computers to create a more realistic and immersive gameplay experience. It is only in recent years that the use of videos have increased in the architectural industry, due to a few factors: Reduced Costs: Early days of video production was very expensive and needed a large crew of people and equipment to produ...

How an Architectural Rendering Company Can Help Interior Architects Plan Their Projects

Many people are looking for a high-quality company that can create realistic architectural 3D renderings. CAD services and animation are two other essential services that an architectural rendering company can offer. Virender  is a New York-based firm that has been providing architectural 3D renderings and CAD services since 2001. The company provides photorealistic, interactive 3D architectural renderings to clients across the world. Their experienced team can help you visualize and plan your project in a realistic way. Architects can use architectural rendering to simulate a variety of scenes to demonstrate the process of construction. It can also be used to present a new design or project concept. For example, a client may want to see a rendering of an existing building before committing to it. A rendering can also serve as a tool for presenting construction methods. There are many benefits to using this technology and the benefits that it br...
