Render 3 - The key visual elements of this image is the column, chairs, glazing and the orange wall. The chairs, design by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe himself are the main focal point of this image. Attention was paid to the positioning of the camera to ensure all of the kept elements were displayed as intended.manipulated the most to give a true representation.
2 - Modelling
Post-production The sky was altered to demonstrate the Pavilion in a more atmospheric environment. A silhouette of a person to demonstrate the anthropometric scale in proportion to the building. Both internal and external lighting were highly focused on to ensure a realistic representation of dusk was achieved.

Model Development The project began with a 2D plan of the Pavilion. Layers were created defining each element of the building. The project progressed with the modelling of the buildings components doors, windows, walls and stairs etc. The modelling process varied in detail, windows and doors required a fine attention to detail demonstrating understanding of 3Ds Max Design.
Once the modelling process was completed, materials and textures could be added. Defuse, bump and reflective maps were added to generate a more realistic texture. Material IDs were assigned to elements that required two different materials such as the Roof and Chairs.
Render 2 - This image demonstrates four main visual elements, tinted and frosted glass, lighting and the chromium material. The angle demonstrates the linear components highlighting the statue as the focal point of the image. The frosted glass was the key element that was manipulated the most to give a true representation.
Test renders were then taken to optimize the settings for particular scenes.
Research Constructed in 1929 as part of an exhibition, the Barcelona Pavilion demonstrated a new way of living and heavily influenced by F.L. Wright’s Prairie houses and de Stijl. Mies replaced the walls and windows with ephemeral partitions, inviting the exterior into the house. Its elegant and sleek design combined with rich natural material of Marble, Onyx, Steel and Glass presented Mies’ Barcelona Pavilion as a bridge into his future career, as well as architectural modernism.
Render 1 - The key visual elements are the main Pavilion, travertine wall, lighting and the reflection of the water. This first image shows the Pavilion in context, the symmetrical linear forms that expand across the image. The water ripples and lighting were the main adjustment made within this render.
