Formats

Different ways to experience architecture.

Interactive models, panoramic views and architectural films reveal different aspects of a project. Explore what each format can communicate.

The information behind a digital representation.

An existing 3D model can be a useful starting point; it still needs a review of units, geometry, materials and delivery requirements. Plans, sections and material studies help explain how a digital model is assembled.

  • Plans, sections and elevations with a clear revision.
  • Available model formats and authoring software/version.
  • Reference renders and approved material decisions.
  • Audience, included spaces, devices and desired date.

Four layers of an architectural reading.

  1. 01

    Context

    Streets, neighboring volumes and planted spaces frame the building within a schematic urban block.

  2. 02

    Form

    Four levels, a central courtyard and a repeated façade establish the project’s massing and rhythm.

  3. 03

    Sequence

    The approach and ground-floor cutaway reveal how circulation connects the shared and interior spaces.

  4. 04

    Material

    Glazing, timber fins and planting give the conceptual model a readable palette and a sense of scale.
