Architectural design catapults into the twenty-first century with digital-visualization software designed to permit creation of realistic 3D renderings at a fraction of the cost of traditional images.

Mention "architectural rendering" and most people conjure up images of weary-looking little men hunched over drafting tables, toiling laboriously to execute every meticulously drawn line perfectly Maybe they'll even envision ancient Roman architect Vitruvius painstakingly poring over De Architectura, struggling with every word and illustration in his lengthy tome.

Well toss that idea right out of your consciousness. Architectural rendering has a whole new image for the twenty-first century. Think digital. Think digital visualization.

Architecture incorporates more than just a building's exterior; it encompasses the interior environment and its overall flow, as well. You should use your space to its best possible advantage; and, like professional developers, realtors and architects, you should consult a professional design firm to handle your updating or renovation design work.

But you shouldn't trust just any firm - you need a company that can provide you with the most photorealistic architectural renderings modern technology can yield. You need a firm who can take convert CAD drawings to impressive 3D renderings that virtually leap to life.

An architectural firm on the brink of tomorrow's technology can assess your space and will know how to work with you. Such a firm will develop an interior plan that takes into consideration the architectural integrity of your building's exterior, while reflecting your personal taste, style and flair.

You need someone who will undertake your project efficiently and with the flexibility to try new ideas, someone with a vision and capacity for spatial design. But all the ideas in the world don't do a bit of good if you can't see what the designer is envisioning for your space. You also need a design professional who can convert ideas to actual renderings - ideally, a professional who can provide animations and 3D visualizations and renderings.

And if your project involves an exterior rendering, you'll want to use a firm whose staff possess the skills to make the fullest use of cutting-edge technology - especially when it comes to adding in the types of real-life environmental variables you'd expect to see in a valid representation of your exterior space - things like landscaping details, sidewalks, vegetation and people in motion.

But you don't want to blow your entire renovation budget on design work; the company you choose shouldn't have designs on the contents of your wallet! Hiring a design firm versed in using cutting-edge architectural-design technology can end up costing less than a company that works strictly by hand - or with outdated architectural-design software.

Oh, and lest you pooh-pooh the notion of his relevance today, Vitruvius was a man of real vision, a man ahead of his time. Centuries before the invention of the lawn mower and decorative lawn gazebos, he was on top of these things. The first of his Ten Books encompasses subjects that now come under the purview of landscape architecture.
