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'
