Will global sustainability targets affect construction? What makes an environment feel safe? How does it feel to move through spaces with a disability? As part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture, 12 practices were challenged to answer these questions and more by connecting their projects to a central theme: care.
To do this, the architects needed to consider what it meant to design with people in mind—whether that involved helping children feel less like patients at a hospice, or producing the low-carbon neighborhood of the future.
To make each idea feel more real, Twinmotion’s archviz tools were used to turn BIM and CAD data into powerful visuals complete with animated humans, gorgeous greenery, and weather effects. The resulting concept films are now displayed as part of a new architecture exhibition, Architects x Epic Games: A revolution in visualization.
Watch each film in the exhibition below to see how human-centered design can revolutionize how we live, work, and learn in the future.
