There are tasks that you cannot avoid doing in practice that will cause you to hate your job. And then there are tasks that you can pleasantly avoid in order to make your life a lot easier. One of these tasks that you should try to avoid at all costs is 3D rendering. It sounds like blasphemy really. Most people these days will graduate from their university with a greater knowledge ...

How many reasons do you need to became an architect? I personally did not need any reasons to become one, I just knew this was the right thing to do. But how many reasons do you need not to became one? Architecture is an amazing profession and it can really afford you a tremendous amount of satisfaction in your career. However, it is not for everyone. Here are just a few ...

Over-imposing 3D models over photos is troublesome, (and very approximate) as the FOV on photos was difficult to match the FOV of a 3D model without a precise mathematical formula. The attached example shows my most recent project, where we tried to overlap 3D model over an actual site photo, without trying to make it “super-photo-realistic”, but rather “eye-pleasant” using a field of view (FOV) that human eye would like ...

With industrial robots, 3D scanners, 3D milling machines and all the high end technology involved manufacturing and construction, people might ask "Why can’t we just get rid of 2D documentation?" There is a new tendency today to use numerically controlled machines to produce the elements of the spatial structure, bypassing thus traditional 2D documentation. A good example is the architectural practice of Frank Gehry, one of the most prolific and original ...
