I spent a night in late december 2017 analyzing the architectural project, the building, the surrounding, possible camera angles etc. That is why now, 5 days before deadline I have to find a way and make a quick entry, since I had (and still have) work to do on a daily basis which doesn’t give me much time to focus on this personal project.
Having said that, I choose this angle (in december) because if I were a visualization studio and had to represent this project (which being surrounded by tight streets is not easy to entirely present in one image), I would make as 1st image the standard one showing the entire building from one side, but the 2nd image would surely be the one that I am going to make for this challenge. Having seen that the facade and window frames are one of the most important characteristics of this building, I will go for a zoomed facade render which focuses on the internal life of the building as seen from the windows. I like images which show both interior and exterior as I find them more complete. So I picked and angle which shows the window frames disposition but also hints the curvilinear development of the building. The time of the day I picked is the moment when outside is still day but the lights inside are starting to turn on, so basically right before sunset. Having set the outside light for the quick clay render now the next step would be modelling and texturing the corten facade.
