SketchUp. Construction Matters examines the relation between advances in construction technology and artistic form in modern architecture. Please support this project by backing it on Kickstarter. As you might know, the editor of this blog graduated from architecture school more than a year ago and is no longer surrounded by beautiful books. Therefore, the editor of this blog was not able to post things the way she used to. Therefore, she will start posting things again from now - but things will be different. You will see: The Real World of Architecture. PS: If she happens to have enough time after work to scan books, you will of course still find inspirational images on this blog. A participatory facade installation for the Lisbon Architecture Triennale next month. Upload an image and see it built as a tile on the facade: Please share! BETONBABE + university library = many posts BETONBABE + office + work + work + work = almost no posts. apologies. Related:  mimari/architectural

RNDRD RNDRD is a frequently updated feed of images from published architectural projects of the 20th century. We do not publish photographs of completed work, only renderings: hand-drawing, collage, models and graphics of all sorts. Our source materials are (mostly) out-of-print academic and trade journals. We cull the most striking, typical and atypical images from thousands of pages of print that will not be available online. As the internet increasingly becomes the main source for designers to draw on precedence, RNDRD hopes to provide a broader sample of the history of architectural image making. RNDRD is organized by rendering type, year, designer and print source. All images are posted as fair use. The editors are Josh Conrad and Lauren Hamer. Visit our partner site: pastelegram.org

Making of Three Seasons and night Introduction: I would like to show you the process of creating my scene called "Three Seasons and night". I based on Norwegian architects RRA project "Villa Hesthagen". The most imported thing was setting up the environment and creating realistic winter climate. Modeling of buildings: On the beginning I created few simple solids. Modeling of small tree: Edit cylinder to fields and use chamfer, extrude, bevel and finally connect. Modeling snow on the roof: To create such snow you only need to have modified box and use Turbo smooth. Modeling of terrain: With snow was some more fun. Using the tool Paint Deformation I sculpt dents and bulges. Snow Shader: There are simple materials (only textures in Diffuse slot) so I don't show you how to create all shaders. Most important shader that I used in scene Scene Lighting: For lighting the scene I used a half sphere with imposed VrayLight materials. Setting up VrayLight materials Lighting interior of the building: Setting up VrayPhysicalCamera:
