I haven’t looked much at Brown.. but I like it… I haven’t experienced any garden of him either… I want to !!!! I have to go to England… maybe my next trip in summer will be england and ireland 🙂 or also. germany… don’t know yet. 😛
I think there is no equivalent in the continent… that’s the reason of english gardens are called english gardens 🙂 but I think there are things similar in chinese gardens.Lancelot Brown was called “Capability” because he always searched for the capabilities of the landscapes.
I like his projects. well… I like english gardens. heh…People studying 3DS MAX/VIZ, even though dealing with something very artificial such as a computer programme, actually become quite observant of the real world around them. Since the first rule in developing a skill at visualisation is to work from reality to begin with.
haha. Totally true. this really happens… and. then.. you think.. how could I model that? mmmm how beautiful colours of the sky.. it would be a spherical map? oh !!! what a good texture ! click ! photo. heh… oh no…. there are textures everywhere…. I need another compactflash.. hehe…..
sorry. will reply something later. I’m quite busy and a little fool right now hehe. I need to sleep a bit 🙂
ok. I’ll write it then. Thanks for the info. 😉
maybe after Revit 19. oops, books aren’t used in that year. cya.speaking about Le Corbusier…. one of his famous quotes… “I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and allows less room for lies.”
What about visualization? a tool also to allow less room for lies? 🙂
and you can also lie drawing.
Can you lie inside a 4D enviromental virtual reality version of the building? mmmm
🙂just another quick thought…
Also CAM is very important. I read something about how Gehry produced curved glasses with CAM technology in some recent projects. A perfect design in the CAD model is nothing if it is not possible to be built with the same precision.Also have to say.. my own experience with Revit and ADT2004 has been an complete disaster. I’m very sad about it. I expected much more. Still have to wait some years for a complete architectural solution.
just a quick quick thought…
Before the computers age… when architects didn’t have time to do good drawings, they were done by drawing specialists called draftsman. They could draw very good drawings with the ink. Then the rotring pens appeared… mmm it was easier to draw the plans… but still. a task for the draftsmen… the architect still developed pencil drawings. and ideas… final plan drawings were done by the drawing specialist….
What happened when computers were introduced into architectural offices? any architect could do the same exact drawings as the draftsman in the same time. Hard days for draftsmen. But know. architects doesn’t have time to learn 3D.. may be this is a task for a computer graphics specialists.. and the history repeats again.
In a short time. we will see how architects (mostly new generation ones) can do the 3D jobs with more intuitive, easy, and powerful software. Then… what’s next? 🙂When architects started to use CAD for their draginws… some one said… oh.. this is the end of paper drawings. But what happened some years later? Now it’s so easy to print another A1 with some changes to the drawing… and show it to your boss to see if he likes it or not… and then.. another change.. and another A1…. result…. We are going to exterminate the trees….. where is the non paper office? I’m still waiting to see one.
Of course my office will be non paper based soon 😀I agree with sw101. I don’t think it’s appropiate starting with cad and ending with cad…. you can sketch and modeling also.. yes… BUT you can sketch over a screen tablet and modeling with a software based matter 😉
(I didn’t like too much the Minority Report way of moving video documents on those screens… quite confusing.. hehe…)
Interesting.
I think every technology is important for every profession. not only architecture. In my view…. when you pay for the project of your life, it is not enough to pay the architect only. It would be logical to pay for an extensive amount of specialized services where visualization plays an important role.I think it is fundamental that the client has to know what is going to be built. Sometimes , visualization helps the architect to convice the client for something that he did not want before. Or maybe the visualization is not very accurate or only shows what the architect is interested in showing. any way, visualization systems are one of the most powerful “weapons” for the architect.
Today, doing large projects has become a very difficult task, if not impossible, for a unique person called architect. Those days have gone. Now I see the architect more like the director of an orchestra, in a office with many people, each one specialized in one “instrument”. Information, data coordination, and methods to comunicate each other, to share knowledge, and information are essential.
But I think, technology has to improve A LOT yet. I want to see my table, yes my entire table to be a flat screen where I can interact with true digital pencils or with my hands (not mouses) and where I can see a model in true 3D display system.
