Most often, to render is to engage a thick software interface, to accept a photographic framework of variables and effects, and to assume an unquestioned posture of articulating material, mass, and color. But like drawing, rendering is an interdisciplinary, algorithmic, historically rooted cultural practice as much as it is a digital vocation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe elements explored in this book are labeled \"impossible\" because they avoid a fixed relationship to a singular built reality. Digital bonsai trees, pixels, video game levels, grids, and dioramas extend like skewers through multiple media and formats. Through work that looks very real and can't possibly exist, representation becomes the territory of speculation, ambiguity, and curiosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Applied Research \u0026amp; Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951541552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Carl Lostritto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42776270209205,"sku":"9781951541552","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_29a9a333-0424-41d2-bb76-5ef8b07b02a2.jpg?v=1679412957","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/impossible-and-hyper-real-elements-of-architecture-9781951541552","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
