It may not be your first instinct when entering a building to consider how it makes you feel, but architecture has always had a big impact on emotions. Different spaces are designed to make its inhabitants feel different things; offices can make you feel energised and productive, art galleries can make you feel thoughtful and curious, and museums can make you feel calm and intrigued. Each of these spaces are completely different from each other and are far more than just a building.

Presentation skills are an asset for any designer. One of the best mediums to showcase your architectural designs is through rendering. Rendering techniques support the creation of realistic visuals of the architectural design before the actual construction.
