This volume investigates the intersection of architectural representation and digital artifice, exploring how designers manipulate reality through rendering, drawing, and mediation. By analyzing tools ranging from legacy software like MacPaint to contemporary gaming engines and volumetric raytracing, the authors examine the uncanny potential of digital media. The text provides a critical look at how architects subvert intended software functions to construct strange, hyper-real environments.
