New technology to design architecture

My story is a winding road, but what really comes out of it , has been been streamlined method that I to aid the process and fast production of design architecture.

It all started after I qualified at the university of Cape Town, thrust into the the niche of presentation, using 3d studio and V-ray. What better way to get into an industry than to provide offering a design presentation service, to architects around where I live. 

Providing presentation skills to design architecture is a great way to break into in an industry and meet new clientele ,as most local architects don't have the skills or time to hone their talents at creating beautiful presentations to present their own work.

Late Nights and design architecture created huge stress

What I later realized was that I was having to  design architecture and present for most architects.Late nights became the norm and I found my focus being drained by rendering and technological issues and unable to focus on my primary goal to design, computers crashing midstream and  photo realistic production was tedious.

3d Max is amazing software but stress levels run high , the 3d industry is stressful and las an architect you need to be aware that you may be trading your design skills in for  strictly presentation skills, due to time constraints.

Design Architecture or Technical presentation Guru?

The stress when design architecture takes the back-stand to presentation,is no fun at all.

As fascinating as 3d design architecture can be , the process can be burdensome, and no not that fun at all. The emphasis on textures, lighting, clouds, skies, and animation, siphon all the precious design architecture emphasis and care needed and eventually the quality of the design is compromised by the technicalities that override producing a 3d photo realistic drawing..

I was frustrated I had become an architect that primary purpose was to present and not to design architecture, and found myself being a technical junkie, to design architecture had become a rarity for me.

SO what happened was cool - Google sketch-and Revit arrived on the scene in those days and I started to become best friends with the software. I worked out ways to create presentations fast and on the fly, I could now focus on my design passion and presentation was easy .

My Sketch-up presentations also became a favorite at work, and the directors of my company enjoyed the speed I and quick turnaround time in design, and presenting the images to new clients, using adobe Photoshop, printing color laser brochures in A3 with multiple images.

I had developed a way to streamline my time and also have the ability to design architecture primarily.

The best part in those days is I could log off work at 5.30pm to go home to my young family, and feel content with have produced as much work as possible, created glorious presentations and managed to get home just in time for dinner, and having an early night rest to wake up refreshed for a new day of work in the architectural field.

Design Architecture Philosophy? Its wonderful to love something you do, but being a functional family member and human being is also very important, streamlining sketch-up or revitt methodologies to produce design work fast is key to my life, these tools are almost beyond real, and have helped in so many instances, if you can hone your skills using them they will aid your workflow process if you a behind the laptop coffee shop architect like me.


Have a powerful day,
