Delineating Place

Executing a set of renderings or an animation is not merely plugging a model into specialized software and assigning a specific set of parameters. But rather, it is an investigation, and unveiling of the story of the architecture. It is an intimate and personal journey where collaboration is a key component of the process. Every delineation is special with it's own character, time and sense of place. Through technique and a critical eye, it is ZimmermanVisual's goal to express the essence of the place.
                                                                                                                                      

Services

Ken uses the latest in hardware and software in producing architectural renderings with a photo-realistic look, or conceptual projects with more of a watercolor/painterly feel. A typical project would include a set of high resolution renderings or a short animation. But Ken is also skilled in photo-composite renderings (combining photography with rendered architecture), VR renderings (360 degree interactive renderings), conceptual renderings (digital watercolor technique).
