The judging process for the One Rendering Challenge is designed to reflect the multi-faceted qualities of architectural drawings. Our outstanding cast of jurors will be asked to select winning entries based on their communicative and aesthetic qualities, as well as their impact and ability to “go viral” on social media. Entries that stand out in one or more of the following categories stand a great chance of being a Winner.

陪审团将根据以下标准评估图纸:

Communication

与一件艺术不同,建筑渲染的最重要质量是它能够传达设计建筑建议背后的设计的能力。此外,很好的渲染可以讲述建筑物的故事和那些可能在一个快照中居住的故事。该图像可以传达许多不同的东西,并专注于以下一个或多个方面:空间布局,技术细节,材料,架构元素之间的连接,与上下文的关系,空间之间的过渡等等。

Aesthetics

A beautiful rendering is undeniably appealing, but at their best, the aesthetics of a rendering are about more than just beauty. They convey the essence of the architecture they are portraying, the atmosphere or emotional power of a space, and a strong sense of place. A well considered rendering can portray a specific architectural language that speaks to the author’s wider design philosophy. Aesthetics may also concern the portrayal of an untidy, chaotic or even “ugly” brand of architecture to paint a compelling picture of certain environments.

影响

When communication and aesthetics are perfectly combined, they can produce an impactful image that is eagerly shared among a huge design-oriented community. Virality is not an exact science, but Instagram experts understand the bold qualities that make an image memorable and shareable. The ingredients of an impactful architectural rendering include but are not limited to: Bold geometry, unusual angles, rich color combinations, sharp contrasts, rhythmic patterns and strong legibility.
