First, they are far from \u201cclean\u201d in the conventional sense. They are full of texture; each material reveals its age, with shiny, dull, smooth and rough surfaces striking contrasts that add a strong legibility to each image. While stylistically different, these renderings share certain, distinct qualities \u2014 their use of light, shadow, depth and perspective result in an atmospheric scene that draws in the viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, each rendering has an ephemeral quality. They capture a unique moment in time \u2014 if they were photographs of real places, each image would be different if it had been shot a mere second earlier, or a second later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65071 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZOOM2DFUTURE_crop-1-1.jpg?resize=1012%2C1012&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1012\" height=\"1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZOOM2DFUTURE_crop-1-1.jpg?w=1012&amp;ssl=1 1012w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZOOM2DFUTURE_crop-1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZOOM2DFUTURE_crop-1-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZOOM2DFUTURE_crop-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of all though, these renderings tell stories. They provoke a series of questions, sparking a sense of curiosity. Looking at \u201cZoom to the Future\u201d, we can\u2019t help but ask: Who is the elderly man in the corner of that image, and how does he feel about the space in which he sits? Studying \u201cLifting Longyearbyen\u201d, we wonder: Why are these buildings being hoisted into the air? What will become of this fragile place in the future?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both renderings eschew beauty in favor of communicating a narrative about architecture and those that inhabit it. This is what the One Rendering Challenge calls for \u2014 The winning submissions and commended entries are uniquely evocative, each telling a story through one, solitary image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65072 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=1549%2C1549&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1549\" height=\"1549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?w=1549&amp;ssl=1 1549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/f08ac4acf4f1d44b_1_crop-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glossy, \u201cbeautiful\u201d visualizations remain the convention, and their aesthetic fits their function \u2014 they aim to present an idealized version of an architectural proposal to clients, convincing them to move forward with a design concept and ultimately pay for a project to be taken through to completion. Whether this polished rendering is matched by its built reality matters less once the developers and architects have finished their business and taken their checks away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question is, can renderings do more? Do less beautiful, more honest portrayals of our spaces, buildings and cities have a place in architectural discourse? Can they teach us something, not only about architecture, but also about the ways in which it can or should be represented? Last season\u2019s One Rendering Challenge suggests so. Accordingly, get your dirty, ugly, chaotic, textured renderings ready to submit for this year\u2019s competition!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>The winners of Architizer\u2019s 3rd Annual One Rendering Challenge <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/competitions\/one-rendering-challenge-2022-competition-winners-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have been revealed<\/a>!
