Further to Russel's Online Lecture 3, below is a quick example of architectural animation in real projects (I believe that it was produced in Lumion) that Architectus & SANAA prepared for Sydney Modern Project as presented in our introduction session today.

Animation/ short film could be a very powerful visualisation tool to communicate your design to clients, stack holders, consultants or other audiences.

Client: Art Gallery of NSW
Location: Sydney, NSW
Status: Construction
Architect: SANAA/ Architectus
Scheduled for Completion: 2022

“The cultural centre is an optimum blend of craft and technology. It is inspired by traditional Chinese weaving, while incorporating the latest cutting-edge technology that helps withstand earthquakes, typhoons and severe weather. Its unique form provides a memorable and extraordinary experience for visitors, while the illuminated stage and the motion of the moving veil creates a unique backdrop to the theatre of city life,” - Gerard Evenden
