This project transformes a small norwegian village, into a modern satellite of greater Oslo.
The client wanted to combine the existing qualities of great nature with a modern urban condition, creating the perfect living conditions.

Vertical Monastery by Alex Warr

/in , /by

This project set out to develop an urban monastic prototype, transforming the traditional horizontal typology into a new form characterized by an urban location as well as vertical formal and organizational strategies.

This image was rendered with Vray for Rhino, various free models I downloaded, and PG skies. This workflow of Vray for Rhino is not one that you see much on forums these days, but as an architecture student working on renders for myself, it is the easiest way to make images (a similar workflow would be rendering with Vray in sketch-up).

I prefer workflows like this (with as few steps / programs as possible) so that we students and architects can use these images as design tools instead of just finished presentation material.

Tiller High School by Aart Architects

In the era of (sometimes) unnecessary formal complexity we love when we can put our hands in something really essential but that at the same time has the ability of driving emotionally the image.
Something simple, quiet, but still powerful elegant and iconic.
Have a nice week.
