I work directly in the image space.
Architectural images are composed, not rendered.
Images remain one of the most powerful ways to convey architectural ideas. While new tools, including AI, have entered the process, the central task has not changed: to shape an image that communicates the strengths of a design with clarity, conviction, and sensitivity to its context.
Dipl. Arch. ETH, visualiser, collaborator
Hundreds of small decisions accumulate to shape a single image.
I see this role as similar to that of a director staging a play. The script exists, but its translation into a lived experience depends on interpretation, pacing, and emphasis. That skill is largely timeless, which is why I am not unsettled by new technologies. Tools change, but the need to shape, judge, and resolve an image does not.
Tools change. Judgement does not.
Working in the image space allows me to control all aspects of the composition and to combine materials - photography, 3D outputs, AI-generated elements .- using my eye, my judgement, and my technique. It is this proximity to the image that makes the work precise, intentional, and alive.
My background in architecture allows me to work as a collaborator rather than a service provider. I aim to understand an architect’s conceptual intent, the strategic situation of a project, and the audience it addresses, often working closely with design teams to shape how a project is communicated.
By working directly in the image space, I remain close to the final product from the very first step. Every element you see is placed, adjusted, and balanced deliberately. Hundreds of small decisions accumulate, about tone, emphasis, scale, texture, and restraint, and together they shape the image as a whole.
The process is one of calibration: between realism and abstraction, technical precision and sfumato. I begin with the design itself and allow it to guide each decision, step by step. Rather than simulating reality, I compose meaning, strengthening what matters, quieting what does not, and avoiding statements the architecture itself does not make.
