Making of ‘Trinity Bureau’
Beauty and The Bit have been present pretty steady in recent forum spotlights, featuring great looking visuals with a unique look and lots of emotive quality to them. Creating urban environments and visualizing office building and towers specifically is something I’m dealing with right now and so talking with them about the work they did on the ‘Trinity Bureau’ project was very interesting and even more so this behind the scenes article they made for us all. Enjoy!
Ridge Road Residence / StudioFour
I found the Ridge Road Residence by StudioFour after seeing an interview with Australian Architectural Photographer Shannon McGrath on the TWiT Photo show dated June 26, 2012 (episode 63). Catherine Hall and Leo Laporte conducted an hour long interview with Shannon which you must see. Anyway, I looked for some projects she took pictures of and found this one, a great looking set (architecturally too) referencing dark wood / white combination and a toned down a la monochromatic exterior treatment.
The National Museum of Afghanistan
Ive been fascinated by the work of Spanish Estudio AGraph since Ive seen it for the first time. The visualizations they create, and they would say so themselves, resembles more to architectural drawing than 3d rendered visuals. It is not the first time Im covering this style of visualization, and yet they have something unique about how they approach and perform a visualization project which seemed important enough for me to explore it and ask them to share more about it.
