Even though it is different between the intention of the artist and my point of view, this modeling, which seems to be real landscape by video montage, shows the atmosphere when the building is completed on the site. Because of architecture is dealing with unreal and expected space, we had just imagined until actual construction would finished. However, this kind of imagined anticipation can be prospected and corrected by evolution of computer software and CAD plan in more detail. This artwork illustrates how the real space can be transformed when the actual space and virtual structure are coexisted; in advance of just virtual image modeling on the computer monitor. I am not sure that this technology is the practical use in contemporary architecture industry, but this technology allows people to more actualize their plan; it is not only bringing the physical convenience but also making possible the things one time could not come true.
Now, designers can spread their idea, apart from structural and material issues, and computer aid system has the duty instead. In fact, I am not using this technology even though I am living in this digital era. In fact, my initial design tendency is like more physically touchable and instantly accessible way rather than formal output by computer; this kind of inclination brings more cordial and artistic feeling, although it is not keen and accurate in comparison to computer rendering or modeling. However designers need to know and learn this technology. This innovated technology makes possible even unimagined design before, and the technology itself can be another way of art.
