Each historical period of time is marked with its own unique and recognizable image. Fashion, tastes, traditions, tendencies, and technical capabilities are all constantly changing. At the same time, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” However, with one little remark – old traits always come back in new packaging, or in new reincarnations, if you wish
This statement applies to everything in life, including architecture itself, and particularly – the architectural visualization and presentation, which is exactly what I have been faithfully doing for many years
Ladies and Gentlemen, it looks to me, like our old good friend, His Majesty The Pencil is coming back in the game.
Working as an Architectural Visualization Artist probably half of the work I do nowadays is requested to be done in pencil. Fast, inexpensive, conveying the mood and narrative, the pencil tells a lot more than it shows. Using its peculiar language of prompting and hints, the pencil can help both the client and the designer to verify the direction of the next step on the thorny and winding path of creating a new space.
Long before any worked out details, first drawings appearance and even a clearly expressed list of the client’s wishes, the pencil provides an opportunity and means for discussing the architectural concept with all of its tempting intrigues and underwater reefs.
When updating the existing building with new elements, or even completely different functions, the pencil opens the door to various new options. It helps us to find the best solution by sketching over the existing building photo.
Or in collaboration with Photoshop, the pencil can work on reshaping the existing cityscape, introducing a new building volume.
Finally, the pencil can simply help to complete the desired mood before the project is overgrown with details, dimensions, and finish materials.
So, welcome back to our old reliable friend – the Pencil!
я тоже давеча заказчиков развлекала предпроектным настроением, но у меня картинка не вставляется в комент.
Мне всё нравится, извини
