Lesson 2

In the context of Architectural Renderings, compositions means carefully choosing the camera angle, framing, perspective and visual hierarchy so the design is presented in the most compelling and emotionally engaging way.

4 Tips for Planning Composition

• Explore and Define The points of Interest (Place key elements along gridlines or intersections to create balance and natural focus. Use composition guidelines like the rule of thirds.)

• Balance & Symmetry (Symmetry emphasizes order and formality; asymmetry can create dynamic, and energy use intentionally.

• Framing and Viewpoint (Choose camera angles that highlight the design’s strongest features, and use framing elements such as trees, openings or furniture to focus attention.)

• Foreground, Midground and Background (Layer elements to add depth and scale, making the rendering feel immersive and realistic)
