Visualizing Architecture. I used to draw a lot when I was younger and all but stopped sometime in college.

Visualizing Architecture

I’m not sure why, but I always find myself trying to recreate hand drawings through Photoshop. I’ve noticed that the workflow that I use to recreate drawings follows a similar procedure as that of actually hand rendering an image. This idea didn’t really hit me until today when I was creating some illustrations of a villa that I have been designing in my spare time. When manually hand drawing an illustration, I would start by laying out the line work of the building. Visualizing Architecture. In the previous wharf post, I discussed black and white texture studies that focused on pattern and ground plane elements throughout the wharf.

The above image builds off of those studies introducing color and material. Site plans are extremely useful in the design process and I wanted this one to be somewhat malleable as I tweak things. The wharf is on a strong axis with Boston’s Old State House. I wanted to be able to study this connection as well as the wharf’s relationship to the dense city fabric.

The site plan was therefore setup to include this information which meant creating one of the highest resolution images I have ever done. Visualizing Architecture.

The last few weeks have been spent designing a new project that will allow me to experiment with some new rendering styles that I have in mind.

New Project: Train Pavillion

The past few projects were located in a dense urban setting so I am switching things up and going rural. I decided on an idea that I have been thinking about for a while and the located in a town I grew up in. Deshler is a small village with a population of 1,800 people and sits directly on the intersection two major railways. Photoshop.
