The relation between visual presantation and architectural design products

 

The aim of this study is to understand the relation and connection between the architectural design, architectural visual presentation and architectural product itself. How architectural visual presentation shows the real condition of the buildings? The “jpeg images” showing magnificent building details, materials, patterns, shade and shadow effects inside the well-done landscape environment affects not only the customer/user but also the designer himself/herself by means of Computer Aided Design Based Technology. Drawings, models, even movies as visual architectural presentation is satisfactory regarding design. However, when building is constructed and life flows inside with the reality the perception of satisfaction changes in general. In this study, the famous design, Fallingwater House is analyzed regarding design, visual presentation and building itself. The methodology of this study is to get drawings, movies, pictures of Fallingwater House design by Frank Lloyd Wright in different CAD media. We prepared evaluation tables that show building and visual presentation. We asked 3th year architectural students at Selçuk University to fill this tables. Thus, this study as design experience using technology may get general concepts.
