In an endeavor to further a dialogue around design and our built environment, we are introducing "Design Dialogue" as an ongoing feature on our website at: https://www.arcdeck.net/. This would be a collection of essays, images, sketches, renderings, thoughts or even architectural photography along with author's commentary.

The Award was designed and conceived by the After the Damages International Academy, and aims to recognise the fundamental importance of the players involved in the processes that characterise all the phases of a disastrous event, with the aim of identifying and rewarding designers from the private and public sector, social cooperatives, bodies and institutions that have initiated virtuous processes towards the territory and communities, through projects, completed and uncompleted works, national and international social cooperation, experiences in territorial governance, research in technological and management fields, interventions on the landscape and the soil, on existing built heritage or newly built works.

Presentation skills are just as important as designing; one of the best mediums to present your architectural designs is through rendering. Architectural rendering aims to create life-like experiences of the buildings before they are built.
Rendering aids the designer to convey his or her ideas, an image that represents the designers' imagination most realistically.
Why you should take this Challenge?
• To showcase you’re rendering skills.
• To challenge yourself, create a single image that represents your design thought process.
• To be able to create a single image that displays briefly and smartly a bundle of ideas.
• To present the idea of 'Quality over Quantity'
