Before starting the modeling and texturing stage of the scene,
I have identified the possible camera position and based on this I have drawn a non-definitive draft of image plan.
This draft allows me to focus the attention mainly on the parts of geometry to be adjusted or added ex novo,
on the insertion of further artificial light sources, last but not least, spot the basic materials to be used.
At a later stage, the materials and further additional elements will be defined in detail that will help to give more realism to the scene.
The main idea is to preserve the material of the facade cladding.
In my opinion, corten steel generates a very interesting visual contrast because even if it is chromatically similar to red brick,
at the same time it translates well the relationship between the surrounding historical buildings and the contemporary building.
Based on this consideration, the building will be placed as the fulcrum of a story aimed at enhancing the material difference.

well, i think the most important and difficult part of this project is material of facade. i love to render everything in realistic ways and physical base, so i’m thinking about substance painter for creating material of facade because of power of procedural. so i had to fix few issue of modeling to be suitable for unwrap, and i did it again to be ready for import in substance.
and after import i did really simple test for the material and dirt.as i said this part is the most difficult section of this project so i have to do some test 🙂

Looking at references off Archdaily i got a deeper appreciation of how the school was designed to have a more minimalistic and modern look and yet still have a relationship with the old built environment.
This relationship can be seen mainly in the cladding of the new school. The corten cladding relates to the brick buildings because of the rustic feel they both have. The placement of the corten cladding and the openings (Windows) of the new school are also arranged in the “Running Bond” fashion like the brick buildings.
I really love that relationship, however, in my opinion, i feel that the new school seems a little skinny (for a lack of better word) because of the depth of protrusions of the frames around the openings.
So my concept explores the “Running Bond” relationship while maintaining the original look. To do this, i thought i could add an extra layer of cladding with perforated corten sheets with a “Running Bond” character.
I’m also looking at showcasing this in a dusk scene environment with very soft shadows and a pink/ orange light highlighting one side of the building. I feel that the contrast between a clear deep blue sky and the deep red corten/perforated cladding will bring the project out more.
Further to compliment the lighting, i’m looking to have an achromatic contrast between the natural blue light with the warm artificial lighting in the buildings.
Normally i start of with the frame and lighting because it gives me more confidence when working on an image if i get them to my satisfaction. So here i share the framing, general lighting and mood that i’m going for.

After first acquaintance with the object and available 3d model I decided to start with strategy and `main idea`. I always try to make everything in 3d with small post correction, so everything suppose to be real (real camera hight and lens, environment, weather and lighting). So I created a plan how to move forward and not to stuck.

The Strategy:
0. Moodboard
1. View search.
2. Lighting.
3. Adjustin geometry.
4. Materials and texturing.
5. Tests.
6. Final rendering.
7. Post-production.

As it`s `one shot` image I found out that the best way in this situation is to do everything comprehensively. My `main idea` is to show how the building collaborates with historical environment and how people interact with it.So I made basic moodboard and according to it I developed some criterias for `perfect shot`:

1. Focused on the buildind, but still consist of surrounding historical buildings.
2. Show main ways of interaction people with the building. Customer expirience as main factor.
3. Dynamic and dramatic. Exterior lights and wet roads. After rain.
4. Evening lighting to show dignity and plastic of the object.

So now I know how to move forward and without any `running` around the building I decided that the only suitable view which works with all my criterias is view from entrance.
I made basic lighting just to be sure that it works with building`s plastic. And after quick camera moves I found perfect view. To be fair it`s really hard to work after such proffesionals as Åke E:son Lindman, because subconsciously you always turns around them. So my view is looks more like attempt to adjust real view.

I believe that the composition is the most important and difficult aspect of an image.

After defining the story concept and having decided that the focal point is the triangular square, I began to move around the scene to find the best point of view.

The difficulty of this process is to keep in mind that many important elements such as vegetation and people will be added in post-production.

Before starting with the composition and lighting of the image I started doing research about the story of the university and the location. I try to understand more about Swedish culture and what the project can represent for the university students.

This help me to define a concept and find a story, a main theme to contextualize the building and make the final image more interesting.

For me the key element of the image is the small triangular square in front of the building, a social space directly connected with the faculty of architecture.
