Comparing the renderings to the
photographs of the completed school, the effect between the
former and the latter is relatively seamless. Granted that
renderings have become so photo-realistic that many times
clients are disappointed when the reality isn't as dramatic
as the design images, but SOM focused on light and space,
eschewing mullions in the process. What stands out is the
effort put into the internal voids and adjacent spaces. Compared
to the firm's raison d'etre - the high rise structure
- an elementary school need not be rendered as an object but
as an environment, in this case an environment for children
to learn and grown in contact with their natural surroundings. |
