Architectural visualization of the curtain wall industry

Design sketches, architectural renderings, drawings including the architectural scheme phase and necessary analysis charts and written descriptions, all used to show the architectural design scheme and conception of modern curtain wall design are collectively known as architectural performance, in order to display the volume, color and structure of the building in advance in front of the project participants, so as in order to better understand the building, understand all the information the architect wants to convey.

One of the important reasons for the exploration of architectural visualization is that the traditional renderings and multimedia performance methods can no longer fully meet the design needs at the present stage, which is shown as follows:
1. designers will ignore the real expression of the curtain wall building because they pay too much attention to the performance and the height of the building. They cannot express the interior space and material of the building, and often deviate in perspective, light and material, resulting in many finished products that are far from the renderings.
2. In the scheme creation and discussion stage, the parties involved in the project, especially the project decision makers, will have understanding errors due to information asymmetry, which is easy to bias the final design results.
3. renderings and video are both offline rendering, with a long production cycle and the cost is high. It will not be able to adjust the support scheme efficiently, which is not conducive to the efficiency improvement of the whole cycle of curtain wall structure.
Because architectural design is a complex and systematic engineering, how to make all parties with different architectural knowledge reserves can accurately understand the architectural plan, efficiently communicate and finally determine the plan, is a problem that all designers will face. With the development of peripherals like VR,AR,MR and hardware such as GPU (graphics processor), as well as the maturity of relevant software, interaction is added to roaming to create an immersive experience, and architectural visualization has become a new form of architectural performance. Building visualization is a kind of upgrade building performance, it fully relies on digital virtual image technology, through engineering design simulation, building renderings, building animation, multimedia propaganda, virtual reality, virtual presentation of the future scene, the design concept into vivid, vivid visual effect, from abstract into concrete, in the most intuitive way to show the curtain wall system, and the corresponding project cycle and project cost. At the same time, visualization makes both discussion and modification easier to understand, greatly saving time and communication costs.
