Ah. Your rendering work is really amazing @iamwne. Thanks as always for sharing your insight into the process and thinking behind it. I'd say art is the mother of architecture these days. You see these impressive parametric buildings popping up with amazing curves and sleek facades... but to me... that's more sculptural than it is architectural. I love them, don't get me wrong... but I'd say art (not function) is dominating architectural form-making these days.
I visited Fallingwater several years ago and was blown away at how it so seamlessly integrated with the landscape and materiality around it. The interiors were so elegantly crafted. My only qualm about it was the proportioning. I'm a tall guy, I hit my head on something in every single room! Both FLW and the client were shorter people, so it makes sense. But that's something I never expected and that the pictures never told me.
Anyway, fascinating stuff!
