These initial phases of a project are often my favorite. Big ideas, graphic drawings, and endless possibilities - plus I am a sucker for form diagrams.

Post #029: Farmhouse   Using aerial sketches for massing studies in architectural design allows you to explore the overall form, scale, and spatial relationships of a structure within its site context. This approach helps visualize how the building interacts with surrounding landscapes, outbuildings, and circulation patterns, as well as how roof lines interact, making it easier to achieve a balanced and harmonious design that complements the rural environment.   Media: Micron Pen, Chartpak Markers Material: Notebook _________ Illustrating Architecture: a visual journey where sketches become stories and dreams take shape.

Build entire cities & suburbs 🌆 Incorporating topography into your scenes helps ensure your renders are not just immersive and aesthetically pleasing, but also contextually accurate. Here's where OpenStreetMap comes in handy. Discover our quick tutorial on implementing OSM into your design and effortlessly recreating a desired layout for any urban or landscape project! OpenStreetMap gives you the option of downloading the relevant topography using height maps and satellite textures. If you want to give more context to the surroundings, you can also download the buildings in the area. 💫 More tutorials?

I’m constantly amazed and inspired by the challenge of creating a digital version of the natural world. This visualization was for a client who wanted a “jungle feel” in his landscape design and @redmon.design delivered all the feels. #rendering #architectural #3dartist #architecturedesign #3ddesign #render #renderings #architecturelovers #renderings #3drenders #architecturelovers #3dvisualization #renderlovers #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landscapelovers #sketchup #d5render #landscape #interiordesign #architecturedesign #farsidevisualization #archilovers #architecturelovers

Atmospheric skies for any scene 🌤 A clear night, cloudy morning, or a sun-drenched afternoon? Create the exact atmosphere you envision for exterior scenes by loading your own HDRI sky! Simply select your image: your file will replace the existing sky map and become the main light source and texture for your scene. The sliders will affect the custom sky in the same way as they do the existing presets.

🌟Exploring the Power of Sciography in Architecture🌟 As architects and designers, we are constantly seeking ways to enhance our creations—balancing form, function, and aesthetics. One of the most captivating aspects of architectural design is sciography—the art of shading and shadow play. Sciography is not just about creating shadows; it's about understanding how light interacts with our spaces. It transforms static forms into dynamic experiences, allowing us to see architecture in a new light—sometimes literally! 🔍 Why is Sciography Important? 1.Emphasizing Form : Shadows can highlight the architectural features of a building, drawing attention to its contours and materials. 2.Creating Atmosphere : The way light filters through spaces can evoke certain moods or experiences, enhancing the user’s emotional connection to the environment. 3.Sustainable Design : Thoughtful use of light and shadow can improve energy efficiency, reducing the need for artificial lighting and cooling. #Architecture #Design #Sciography #LightingDesign #ArchitecturalGraphics #ArchitecturalVisualization

Iluka is proud to have been part of the Apartments and Townhouses – Designing for People and Place design guide, developed in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council’s Urban Design and Architecture team. This guide aims to inspire and inform the design of multi-unit dwellings that reflect the unique character of the Sunshine Coast. It’s a practical resource that promotes liveable, sustainable communities while preserving the qualities that make our region so special. Iluka focused on the visual storytelling, crafting 3D illustrations, diagrams, and photography that bring the guide’s vision to life. Iluka's goal was to ensure the content is not only clear and engaging but also a true celebration of the place we call home. We’re excited to see how this design guide can help shape a future for the Sunshine Coast that balances growth with a deep respect for its people, environment, and place. #SunshineCoastDesign #SunshineCoast #Architecture #UrbanDesgn #LandscapeArchitecture #VisualCommunications

One of our images created for Holland Harvey - K’In is a development of 8 sustainable homes in Tulum on Mexico’s Caribbean coast. #digitalmarketing #propertymarketing #architecture #interiordesign #visualisation #3d #3drendering #AarchitecturalVisualisation #archviz #creativity #design #3d #cgi #vray #photoshop

In «Capsule,» the harmony between nature and architecture is not just a design choice — it’s the foundation of the entire project. In our visualizations, we paid special attention to the detailing of the surrounding natural environment. Each element — from the lush greenery to the flowing water — is carefully crafted to reflect the seamless integration of architecture into its natural setting. For us, nature is not just a context; it’s a co-creator of the space, blurring the boundaries between the built and the organic world. Through these visualizations, we aim to convey the essence of our concept: a living, breathing connection between human habitation and the environment.  #archviz #archilovers #architexture #conceptart #architecture_hunters #architectures #architecturalvisualization #cgi #cgart #designinspiration #designlovers #designcommunication #architecteye #architect #cgtop #architecture_view #architecturedesign #3dvisualization #postproduction #3dsmax #vray #adobephotoshop #createdtocreate #storytelling #cgi #cgartist #renderzone
