Architizer is delighted to announce the winners of the 2nd Annual <a href=\"http:\/\/onerenderingchallenge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One Rendering Challenge<\/a>! After carefully considering a stunning shortlist of <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/competitions\/one-rendering-challenge-finalists-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">100 architectural renderings<\/a> and reading their stories, our esteemed jury have selected 2 top winners \u2014 one non-student and one student entry \u2014 along with 10 striking runners-up. The 2 Top Winners each receive a grand prize of $2,500, along with pro rendering software from Chaos Group.<\/p>\n<p>The winner in the student category is &#8220;<strong>Hanging by a Thread<\/strong>&#8221; by <strong>Jeremias Dabbah<\/strong>, <strong>Sofia Di Tomaso<\/strong> <strong>and Camila Crudo<\/strong>, students at the <strong>University of Buenos Aires<\/strong>. &#8220;&#8216;Hanging by a Thread&#8217; successfully uses imagery to convey a non-visual state that lends itself to multiple meanings,&#8221; said juror Mengyi Fan, Director of Visualization at <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/shop-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SHoP Architects<\/a>. &#8220;It works well to not only creatively reimagine life in a specific location, but also allows that microcosm to relate to modern society as a whole. The composition of the image, from the perspective used to the slight fish-eye of the lens, emphasizes the disarray of the image, the society, and its inhabitants. It is an image that reveals more the longer you look, and I sincerely applaud the beautiful work and the thought put into it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The winner in the non-student category is &#8220;<strong>Sun Hit<\/strong>&#8221; by <strong>Francisco Tirado<\/strong>, architect and visual artist at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/cobe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cobe Architects<\/a><\/strong>. &#8220;&#8216;Sun hit&#8217; stood out thanks to its next level of natural light and color manipulation, making the architectural structure a strong focal point,&#8221; said juror Duy Phan, visual artist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binyanstudios.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Binyan Studios<\/a>. &#8220;Besides that, it celebrates that moment of rare beauty in the early evening, when a few last sun rays of the day pouring across the fa\u00e7ade.
