At its best, it excites viewers, helping to convince competition judges to award wins and clients to send money your way through a high-profile commission. It\u2019s exactly this kind of visceral imagery that the firms profiled in Architizer\u2019s popular \u201cRendering to Reality\u201d series drew upon on their ways to transform their concepts into multidimensional realities.<\/p>\n<p>The built projects \u2014 spanning commercial towers and residences to music halls and art museums \u2014 often constitute a literal translation of their concept renderings. In contrast, other projects echo the formal language of the renderings but, through either material selection, redesign or financial constraints, may have lost some of the awe-inducing, romantic and mystical qualities that the renderings had in droves. It is a battle we all must face: How much do we compromise our architectural visions in order to please a thrifty client or an agitated community?<\/p>\n<p>Here, we line up some of the year\u2019s most notable renderings on the left, with their complete (or near-complete) counterparts on the right.
