MA Architectural Visualisation students have taken part in the Cheriton Light Festival 2020 over the weekend, exhibiting their architectural projection mapping work. The festival which takes place every two years attracts over 10,000 visitors and hosts a number of international artists. Festival organiser, Brigitte Orasinski, noted that the contribution of the MA Architectural Visualisation students, “…was so spectacular. [It] was wonderful to see this building brought to life by the work.”
Programme Director, Howard Griffin, explained the value of this public exhibition to the students’ studies, “Our students are continually replicating and recreating the built environment around us in digital form. With this work, we reverse the process, bringing the digital world into the real. Much of the work we do in architectural visualisation is about simulation and the ‘virtual’. By working on live events, such as Cheriton Light Festival, students gain real experience of staging events, that is nearly impossible to simulate.”
