In today’s design world, strong visualization skills are essential for effectively communicating architectural ideas.
Whether you're a student, architect, or designer, mastering digital visualization techniques can take your presentations to the next level.

Effective visualization is a key skill for architects and designers to communicate their ideas clearly and attractively. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed to help you master essential architecture visualization techniques using Photoshop, After Effects, and SketchUp.

We have carefully chosen these tools because they are widely used in the industry for architectural presentations, rendering, and animations:

Photoshop – For rendering, post-processing, and enhancing visuals.
After Effects – For animating isometric diagrams and site plans to create dynamic presentations.
SketchUp – For working with 3D models, exporting diagrams, adjusting shadows, and creating base visuals for further refinement.

In this workshop, you’ll gain practical skills that can enhance your portfolio and presentations, making your designs more impactful and visually appealing.
Set up and export 3D models from SketchUp for architectural visualization.
Create clean and engaging isometric diagrams for architectural presentations.
Apply Photoshop techniques to enhance renders, adjust lighting, and add textures.
Use After Effects to animate site plans and diagrams for dynamic storytelling.
Improve your design workflow for faster and more efficient visualization.
Create a professional-quality architectural visualization project by combining all techniques. 
This workshop will focus on architectural visualization techniques specifically tailored for:

  • Isometric Diagrams – Used to represent spatial relationships and conceptual ideas in a clear, engaging way.
  • Site Plan Animations – Showcasing urban and architectural designs dynamically using motion graphics.
This workshop will follow a step-by-step, hands-on approach, ensuring that students learn practical workflows for architectural visualization. We will start with basic concepts, gradually moving to more advanced techniques while working on realistic architectural projects.

Workflow Structure:

SketchUp Workflow – Setting up 3D models, exporting views, and working with shadows and linework for diagrams.
Photoshop Workflow – Enhancing architectural visuals with textures, lighting, and post-processing.
After Effects Workflow – Animating isometric diagrams and site plans(optional) for dynamic presentations.

Final Project:

Students will work individually to create their architecture visualization project by applying the techniques learned in the workshop.
