But in my field, whether it\u2019s renderings, visualizations, or on the software programming and development side of black like, it allows us to focus on the higher-level stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think the initial exploration stages of a design, [\u2026] it can really expedite that process. Where I do think AI won\u2019t really change is more on the higher level in terms of the art direction and creative direction on our projects. [\u2026] that\u2019s something that AI can\u2019t replace, but it\u2019s also pushing my team and myself to really level up and make sure that we are focused on higher level things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On whether consumers prefer interior or exterior renderings:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think interiors, for sure, because it\u2019s a lot more comprehensive of the overall package. There\u2019s a lot more spaces to really get immersed in \u2013 whether it\u2019s the amenity spaces, the sense of arrival when you come into the lobby space. Then there\u2019s the suites, what the kitchens look like, what the bedrooms look like, and the finishes in the ensuite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I come from the field and do a lot of exterior renderings, and I\u2019m very immersed in the architecture of our industry. I\u2019ve lived in a lot of condos my entire life, and when I want to talk about it, even with my wife, she\u2019ll see me comment on a beautiful exterior and she goes, \u2018Why does it matter? What do the lobbies look like? What does the party room look like? Or the gym? How functional is it?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On the way renderings have changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe packages five or six years ago were a lot smaller in terms of the total renderings we were doing per project. The total renderings we\u2019re doing per project would be anywhere from six to twelve renderings on a given project. But then during COVID and definitely post-COVID, now the packages are massive. We\u2019re doing anywhere from 20 to 35 renderings.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Matt and Tim as they chat all things
