Abstract:

Blender, a 3D modeling and animation software, holds significant potential as a vital tool in architecture due to its varied capabilities. This abstract elaborates on the relevance of Blender in architectural practice and research. The paper highlights Blender's capacity to facilitate architectural visualization, design iteration, and virtual prototyping. It iterates on how Blender empowers architects to create immersive, photorealistic renderings, aiding in communication with clients and stakeholders. Moreover, the abstract delves into Blender's role in exploring innovative architectural concepts through parametric modeling, simulation, and experimentation.
