Illustration & VisualisationWe use our own computer generated and/or hand-drawn perspective
views to illustrate our schemes. Both techniques have the advantage
over conventional two dimensional plans, sections and elevations
that they make it much easier for lay people to understand how a design
looks in real life. We use various computer draughting techniques to
produce either still images or moving images (fly-throughs),
which allow the viewer to feel that he or she is walking through the
architectural space we have designed.One of the tools that we use for this purpose is the computer generated
video or walk-through. By creating a computer model of a project
we can take still images to illustrate a particular view that may be
significant or to highlight a particular detail. Another tool we use
to make a proposal clear to local residents and planners are
photomontages, where computer generated images are set into an
existing street scene. Often there is a concern that a proposed
building will adversely affect the natural lighting to an adjacent
existing building. Using CAD software we can create a massing model,
set the exact location of the site, and apply the shadows cast by
the proposed buildings onto their neighbours at any time of day,
month and year.
