sketches, renderings, models...
these have been the traditional methods in which architects have communicated their
structural visions. now, among these tools, the architecture video is gaining importance,
influencing the effective communication of technical information, the conceptual design,
along with the construction / development process of an architectural project.

here, are just a few examples of architects using this medium to illustrate their
research as a means of circulating their architectural visions in a more appropriate manner:

the importance of the architecture video has even made its way into the teaching curriculum
at such schools as columbia university's graduate school of architecture, planning and preservation.
