From the architect. As the function of the building is a sales center, the designís philosophy is focusing on conveying the spirit of enterprise of Vanke Co.,Ltd.  Vanke has been a pilot of the building industry in China by dedicating leading in energy conservation, emission reduction, promoting green buildings and housing industrialization, so the design efforts is to symbolize Vankeís Hi-Tech development philosophy and their approaches.

We created an integrated geometry configuration by using some architectural strategies, such as separating the surface into multiple triangular surfaces with different spatial relationships, emphasizing the sharpness feeling at building corner, using the metal and glass building surface materials to enrich the Hi-tech effect etc. All these efforts are to convey the spirit of Vanke, which are committing to ethical business, obtaining fair returns with professional competence, featuring standardization and transparency, as well as steadiness and focus.

To creating “mutation” effect, we also employed aluminum panels as main material of building epidermis and used three kinds of colors combinations to enhance the feeling of “mutation” in one triangle surface. The arrangements of the aluminum panels in each face are interrelated and mutually varied. Each elevation has its specialized color gradient. They vary from cold to warm color in gradient, creating a “bloom” effect.

All the design effort is to extend the exhibition area of Sales Center outward to the outdoor space by its attractive facade.

The geometry of the building is highly harmonized with its surroundings, which also reflect Vankeís spirit of respecting social and environment, as well as the local culture. Moreover, being a target of architects and designers, we make efforts on establishing environment friendly spaces by detail-designed landscaping and outdoor furniture.

Foundation 3ds Max 8 Architectural Visualization

Welcome to the world of 3D architectural visualizations using the most powerful and versatile 3D software package on the planet: 3ds Max. In just the last few years, the visualization industry has arguably become the fastest-growing 3D industry, and may soon overtake all others in total number of users. Just as the use of computer-aided design became the norm for nearly all architectural, engineering, and construction firms in the 1990s, 3D visualizations have become standard practice today.

This book takes you through the challenge of learning one of the most complex computer programs ever created, by way of easy-to-follow tutorials and instruction. It specifically focuses on those parts of the program you need to know to produce stunning architectural visualizations.

The intent is not to show you every possible way to accomplish a task, but rather some of the fastest and most efficient ways. At the end of the book, there is a guide to marketing your services, as well as 20 top tips that took the author almost 10 years to learn in a production environment—sometimes the hard way.

3ds Max is a large and complex application, but by learning just the features that apply to visualizations, you’ll be learning everything you need to know to get ahead in the industry in the shortest possible amount of time.
