Today’s reading was about how architects put a little bit of fantasy into their renderings. This is a good thing because not every decision can be made at the moment of rendering. The rendering is supposed to communicate the desired effect, not necessarily the end result. Some details may be left out of the drawing simply because they are noise. The machinery in the glass elevator may be an example of this. The architect wants to get their client to focus on the aesthetics rather than the mechanical or structural elements of the design. Style sells. Bierut closes the essay well. Fantastic dreams build fantastic structures.
