4507900: Digital Image-Making and Visualisation (Lecture)

Description

This Module deals with the basic elements of digital image making and visualization. This course explores how digital technologies are used to evoke and produce particular feelings or moods of places as architectural visualizations and images. This semester provides students with the necessary tools to successfully visualise their designs, including a multitude of techniques like 3D modeling, digital photography, montage, collage and rendering among others.

Students will be able to develop relevant techniques to translate original architectural ambitions and ideas into forms of illustrated atmospheres. During the course students will take part in workshops and lectures to develop skills for digital image making and visualization in a practical way. Students will be able to use specific tools to translate their architectonical ambitions and create visualized atmospheres for the communication of ideas in the practice of Architecture .
