Train Pavilion Interior Study
I have been experimenting with some interior illustrations and wanted to post a breakdown of this image. Determining the view for this shot has been difficult because there is so much going on in the design, and I wanted to find a view that properly captured...
VA Tumblr Visitor Gallery Inspiration
There has been some beautiful work showing up in the Visualizing Architecture Tumblr gallery lately. Below are some of my favorites. I had trouble narrowing down the selections to just these few, however, these images all have some similar characteristics: 1....
Floor Plan Study
This week, I have begun piecing together the floor plans of the Train Pavilion Project. When it comes to visualizing floor plans, I have always leaned towards a simple representation. Maybe it is because I have spent so many years working in offices where the...

Exploded Axon Part 2
As you have probably noticed, I have not been posting as often as I normally do. Things have been very busy lately, in a good way. Unfortunately, this means that I have not been able to invest as much time as I would have liked to this website. Instead of not...
No-Render Quick Collage
I was in need of some purely right brain thinking so I decided to skip modeling and V-Ray altogether and see what I could turn out with a half baked Sketchup model and some Photoshop. This meant generating a collage style illustration. These types of illustrations are...
