From (Flat) Drawings to the (Ultra) Real: A Taxonomy of Architectural Visualizations

Full Article:

Architectural visualizations play an important role in transmitting architectural ideas. The research presented in this paper focuses on digital images and investigates the different types of architectural representations and visualizations in relation to the architectural/designerly workflow. The study of a series architectural images reveals that based on the stylistic characteristics they tend to coalesce into categories, ranging from (flat) drawings to (ultra) real architectural visualizations. The research aims to identify different types of architectural visualizations, question whether there are links between the style and the design tools and software used and decipher the digital workflow employed for their creation. Taking into consideration the findings, a pilot 3D scene is selected as a case study to test the hypothesis of replicating different visualization styles, using a corresponding workflow and methodology, in order to compare the results and reach conclusions about the features, characteristics and workflow
