Architectural Rendering

16 04 2008

I have been very busy lately which is why I haven’t had time to post or nurture my blogging fixation. Anyway, I got some little time to spare now. :)

Since Maurisyo has been hired to work for LazyAnimation, he has been very busy tinkering his new nifty computer and has been sending me architectural rendering samples almost everyday. I guess one of the reasons why I’m posting his work on my blog, aside from sheer natural bias, is that his recent designs are very refreshing. It’s very minimal, yet highly stylish. He is breaking away from two things in my opinion. First, he is breaking away from the usual Filipino architectural designs. Although you can already see a lot of modern buildings in Cebu, especially in Manila, but compare it to other countries, Philippine architecture is just so behind. Second, he is slowly breaking away from Medallaaj. Alex Medallaaj is a known Cebuano Architect and I must say I love his designs; although I’m not his avid fan but James would often point Medallaaj’s works and they generally pass my taste. Back to James. Medallaaj is one of his mentor and many of his designs before were like Medallaaj’s very own however lately you can only see traces of Medallaaj’s unwavering influence over a student and a fan.

Below are a few of his architectural design and rendering.
