This presentation illustrates graphical experiments representing design projects and their sensuous experience, primarily in 2D. In all examples, the rendering inspiration, photo editing skills, and the interaction of bitmap and vector images have been vital to creating unique site plans with spatial depth and tactile atmosphere. Switching between old styles and new technologies or analog and digital rendering possibilities resulted in cutting-edge communication, craving custom texture libraries and instantaneous image manipulation in 2D and 3D.
