Architecture Representation

Bitonal, non photorealistic are

SLIDE 12

Architecture Elements

Architectural elements, properties,

functions, or materials are represented by standardized hatches, line-types, - styles, & -widths

Drawings, sketches, & diagrams can

translate architectural spatial concepts better

Allow the creativity to influence the

impression of the design

Architectural sketch is a mode of visual

thinking & communication, which is crucial to a conceptual framework

SLIDE 13

Comparison

SketchUp model with materials added to give a close-to-real depiction – – Sketchy image to give emphasis on the architecture itself Original image, posterised, HDR, b/w: different effects giving different focus of the design.
