Artists' Impressions in Architectural Design analyses the ways in which architects have presented their designs for clients and the public, both historically and contemporarily. It spans a period from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century.Architects have become familiar with change. The passage of time has brought with it new and revived styles of architecture, as well as innovative tools and techniques for their representation. The result is that while some methods show a view of the architect's concept for a building, others offer an almost real experience of the intended architecture. This book provides a rare and valuable study in which the exciting technological developments of today are placed in context with the rich heritage of the past. It offers an opportunity to learn how architects have chosen to represent their ideas. The authors dare to glimpse into the future and hopefully offer some reassurance for tomorrow.

Computer-Aided Design

J. Molenaar, Daniele Ingrassia · Maker Innovations Series · 2024

Before you can make anything with a computer-controlled machine, you’ll have to “tell” the machine what you’d like to fabricate. Any object you like to fabricate needs a 2D and/or 3D design file to start from, which you can either make by yourself or grab online. Before being usable by machines, data in the file is converted to a toolpath, telling the machine what to do to fabricate the desired object. It’s like converting bits (of the model file) to atoms (of the fabricated object).
