The 7th Architectural Visualization Challenge I’m running in partnership with Quixel as the marquee sponsor. The book CABINS by Philip Jodidio and the fantastic illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi served as the principal inspiration for this year’s challenge theme. That, and my love for prefab architecture design.

Which visions do we have in our perception when we think about future societies;
its design, culture and architecture? It is possible to create a tense and vivid image from our
animus and simulate that reflection?
Only when these reflections are visualized in the form of images, videos and animations or VR,
we can feel that the future is present.
In short integrating poetical ideas into visible or even tangible reality.
With contemporary visualizing tools its possible to create humming illusions of reality and
walk inside imminent creation.”

For us this a milestone, which speaks to the evolution of our design concept. After undergoing many iterations to assess different visual perspectives, as well as various lighting styles/configurations, we came to the one that spoke to us. It is an vivid representation of our creative expression, for it is a combination of the fiery intensity of the sun, the spellbinding reflection of the water and the vividness of the greenery. This is all framed against the backdrop of the spartan minimalism of outdoor living.

I choose the “cabin on the rock” by IKanda architects, and took it from it’s original location and put in a scandinavian landscape. I took inspiration from photos of fjords and islands, and drew a landscape between mountain and sea. Then to give a more precise idea of the elements all around the architecture (plants, rocks, moss, light) I’ve composed a photomontage with those elements from the photo references. Then in 3ds max I made a simple model of the cabin and put in the landscape.
