I was gonna say something along that this would be cool to use to imagine streets built differently. Like with less traffic, cycle lanes, street vendors etc., and then they link to a Dutch website already doing something similar. Very cool.
Things like these could be useful in helping to push decision makers and the public to see new opportunities. Right now when something is being built, it's always a optimistic 3d render on a sunny day with people laughing being shown to sway the public in favor of the project. Letting us "normal people" fight back against certain projects or suggest our own without needing to have professional architects draw a concept could be nice.

- sandworm101 3y agoArchitectural rendering are all about tricks. Look closely and you will see the silliness. The human figures used in indoor areas are tiny, to make the interior of a building look large and spacious. The the people on the sidewalks of exterior renderings are huge, to make the building look small and innocuous.

- sandworm101 3y agoThere was an airline ad a couple years ago (Singapore??) that made a great joke of this. Airline ads are always full of tiny women in order to make the seats and windows look bigger than reality. The last shot of the commercial was of a stewardess reclining literally inside the window sill, a person who would have been maybe 18" tall, or a window that was 5' tall.
