Residential exterior, rendered in Lumion 11
When it comes to architectural rendering software, Lumion makes the process of rendering an integral part of the architect's craft; it emboldens design and rendering workflows and inspires creativity. With the release of Lumion 11, realizing your design vision has never been easier. Using the new orthographic view feature, you can reduce the effort needed to create visually interesting plan and section views with your own unique twist. With animated phasing, you can show how the parts of your building connect and interact, choreographing a dialogue with the viewer.

Today more than ever, architects are facing high expectations for the design, function and performance of a project. Careful building design takes the regional influences of climate into account, material origin, perhaps cultural building traditions. These are ways to lower the ecological footprint. But what do architects do to further enhance the building performance? That is an exciting element to explore. Finding out that today digital technologies are implemented in buildings in every region of the world is an interesting fact to discover!

Proven and effective construction methods are not static, instead they're always improving. In Quebec, Canada, light wood frame and modular manufacturers are always pushing the limits of innovation. Their craft is now linked to building systems on a bold scale with offsite light wood frame construction.

Minga LAB 2020 Virtual is a free academic event that addresses the complex subject of Sustainable Collective Housing from both theoretical and practical perspectives, with a national scope across Ecuador.
THIS WEEK'S GUESTS. Comunal Taller - Mexico. Founded by Mariana Ordóñez Grajales and Jesica Amescua Carrera, Comunal is an architecture studio whose practice is deeply rooted in negotiation processes between consensus and dissent. They work against the notion of authorship as a static, artistic, and unchangeable object, viewing architecture instead as a social, collaborative, living, open, and constantly evolving process. They treat inhabitants as active subjects rather than objects of intervention. In their projects, they encourage and facilitate the participation of women—adults, youth, and children—in strategic, administrative, and construction processes, understanding the logic, performance, and collective definitions of these women and their community, while always respecting their cultural context.
