Rendering Environment

This paper seeks to engage the “critical digital” by exploiting the gap between the computationally described object and the digitally constructed image. It claims that architecture has already spent much time and effort critically examining the object as a source of discourse in digital architecture, but has fully examined the status and production of the image with the same fervor. Considering that the digital is consumed almost entirely through images, such an examination is long overdue. This paper and the images attached represent initial, ongoing attempts to seek a critical project within the digital processes and techniques used to produce images in architecture as opposed to images of architecture.
