I'm Alex and this is where I visualize architecture. This site is a place for me to experiment with new ideas and talk about the workflows that I use. I have created a lot of tutorials and discuss a lot of topics such as portfolios, presentations, and all things visualization. For more on me and my background, check out my "About Me" page.
