Architectural Visualization: The future of designing

Designing and construction of the building is an expensive process. Any change to layout or materials when construction is underway means extra cost. Therefore, civil engineers, technicians and architects, always search for better designs to run the project smoothly and to understand how a building or landscape look when the project is completed. Architectural Rendering and 3D modeling are the techniques that help them accomplish all these. Let us see what these techniques are and How these techniques are useful for Engineers and Architectures.
  • Architectural Rendering:

Architectural rendering is the art and science of designing 2D and 3D images presenting all characteristics of an architectural design. This is an advanced technology that is revolutionizing the way we design. Architecture rendering software enables architects to estimate “proportions” and “scales” using automatic interactive 3D models. It also has the facility to stimulate the lightening effect, air-conditioning and acoustics in rooms. Architectural Rendering artists can create realistic and accurate architectural visualization of the proposed project. They are able to represent anything that the consumer wants like interior furnishing, textures and scales.
  • 3D modeling Services

3D model includes detailed information and precise physical representation and functionality of the project. It helps the engineers and architects to visualize physical and functional features before the project is completed. The data in the model can be selected, checked and updated by the team. 


These 3D models also include information about materials quantities, cost and maintenance. The inclusion of all these information in the 3D model makes it much more useful.

Now, let us see how Architectural rendering and 3D Modelling can benefit engineers and architects.
  • Easy, quick and accurate
These models are vivid and you can take a virtual tour of your construction projects. You can quickly check the plan and make the changes to it.
  • A model speaks more than a picture

Every aspect can be seen in 3D models. It gives more granularity in the design and looks better with a high level of accuracy and details.
  • Better for marketing and project approvals

The projects get approved fast when easy to understand 3D models are used. Similarly, the virtual model remains in the customer's mind for a long time, so you stand a better chance to win them.

  •  3D modeling services simplifies the project execution.

Construction Engineers can complete the projects at low cost using clear and detailed models. Architectural Rendering and 3D Modelling can affect the project execution in the various ways:       
  • Elimination of field interference
  • Less rework
  • Enhance productivity
  • Limited cost growth
  • Accurate Measurements

Physical dimensions of the objects and its relative distance with other objects can be clearly seen in the 3d model layout. This will help the customers to see and adjust arrangements of objects in a room.

So, with all that said, It is clear that 3D Architectural Visualization is the future of designing. So you better get ready with us. Implement Architectural Rendering and 3D modeling techniques on your dream project and move light years ahead of others.




We offer Architectural Visualization services that can help you better with planning and controlling the project. You will naturally save costs and time.

Why Building Information Modeling (BIM) is useful for Integrated Architecture

Integrated Architecture is a norm in current times for Architectural Engineering Services as it seamlessly combines the multiple IT programmes enables the technology to untangle the complex Architectural issues. One of the best invention AEC industry have is Building Information Modeling (BIM) that successfully execute the project from early stages of project design to the entire collaborative construction model.

One of the best benefits of assimilating Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the potential to easily analyze and evaluate programs during designing. Stems from practical experience of architectural professionals, BIM prove to be incredibly powerful for the design process. The coordination between different discipline is comprehensively directed within the 3D model at an initial stage, minimize the technical issues at the site, and the result comes in the form better design information.

Building Information Modeling New Zealand -SiliconEC NZ

The Integrated Architecture offers the BIM content service, a compilation of data-rich 3D BIM content models, designing, and enable them to use in practical projects as part of the fully integrated BIM model. Creation of 3D model in Architecture is the main task for an architect whose result came in the form of 3D representation of architectural variables i.e Visualization, Interior, Landscape and Engineering parts.

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) believe in promoting sustainable environment and energy conservation. Modeling in Architecture is used for various energy-related tasks such as energy performance, evaluation of energy requirement, and optimization of the architectural design. The environmental part is taken care by BIM by working along with environmental Architecture software such as Design-Builder which enable the architects to evaluate the window opening of  ventilation, thermal performance and natural daylighting.

Architectural Engineering

This process is essential as it allows the inception of subdued spaces which let the generation of lower energy buildings and more suitable internal environmental conditions.

BIM overview for Integrated Architecture

  • Better decision maker in terms of design. 
  • Streamlined project progress by means of error-free design.
  • Well-regulated collaboration with disciplines viz. Mechanical or structural.
  • Confirmed documentation of a project.
  •  Implementation of a sustainable environment.
  • 3D Visual communication with a client.
  • Better design control and minimized design errors.
  • Reduction in construction and project duration.
The above advantages have upgraded the process of architectural design, control, and duration.

Why Design Principals are vital for Architectural Drafting

Architecture is one such area that really blends the art, science, and maths and comes up with a splendid and lavish design for structure. An Architecture is basically the designing aspect of a structure which aims to enhance the creative side of a building. In order to create a best architectural piece, a full-proof architectural drafting is required. A good architectural drafting highly depends  on the skills of an architect whose skills should also have a good knowledge of design principals. The firm following of design principal enhance the creativity and support the design process even better. 

Architectural Drafting has got the best of methodology in the software like Revit Architecture and ArchiCAD executed in every stage of a project. There are certain design principals to obtain finesse in Architectural Drafting.  



Design Principals

  • Powerful Beginning: It is mostly applicable for site surveys as it offers a good beginning to kickstart the design conceptualization which defines in the organic architecture term as a structure that embraces the environment around and resembles almost a part of an immediate environment.
  • Prioritize Technology: Just because Architecture is a creative area that doesn’t mean that technology takes a backseat. Technology is the best medium to convert creative imagination into reality. Without CAD programme, Architectural experts are not able to create the complex structures that they have imagined. 
  • Innovation- key to success: Creativity directly synonym  with innovation and an Architect need to keep up with the latest trend in designing so that new inputs of designing can be incorporated. Likewise, a subjective novelty from an Architect can fairly convert into a new trend. It is indeed due to innovations that we are able to see the best building structures. 

  • Balance between Rationality and Creativity: As architecture is the combination of creativity and science hence the treatment should also be balanced. A fine balance between creative imagination and technical edginess is needed to complete a successful drafting. Don’t try to overpower one over the other. 
  • Don’t lose the Individuality: Every Architect needs to add its signature style in designing in order to intact his/her individuality. It helps the architect to make a niche for himself and be different from the crowd.
  •  
  • Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: If you want to make your design acceptable, it is very important  to make an eco-friendly and sustainable design that alleviates the greenery of the environment instead of destroying the atmosphere. 
  • Stick to the Basic: In pursuance of keeping pace with the contemporary designs, don’t leave the basics. Small changes and addition can passe but the foundation should always be strong no matter how much upgradations takes place in the industry. 

  • Architectural Drafting
These design principals of Architecture Drafting led to the creation of timeless yet modern structure in appearance as well as quality.
