after the unforunate accident i call my studio prof of last fall, i've been pretty lucky with getting great studio instructors. last semester, i got a visiting prof from brooklyn with his own firm. this year, i've got this guy who's teaching us about identity and branding.
some people may say i'm copping out of "real design" but i can't help but love this stuff. i love things that i feel are part of a progressive movement. i keep hearing people drone on and on about the power of drafting, water colors, and other renderings/drawings i consider either a waste of time or a lie. i'm sick of people showing me their wonderful water color renderings of buildings and calling that real. that's not real. true, it may encompass the feeling you are after, but that's not what the client's going to get and often, it's not what the building looks like in real life.
i strongly believe in the power of virtual reality and 3d modeling. i feel strongly about building in a 3d-reality. if architects keep holding onto this illusion called "renderings" they're going to be surpassed by this reality called "software."
