You can also see that I did two shadow styles, one with soft shadows and one with hard shadows. If I would have rendered everything together, the unexploded building would have been completely in shadow by the ground plane above it. I also did this because I rendered a ground plane in two areas. I broke the rendering up into two images so that I could render at higher resolutions. Also, by placing the unexploded building at the bottom of the page instead of to the side, the focus remains on the exploded elements at eye level.
First, this allows the viewer to relate the exploded elements to the unexploded design clearly and easily. I then decided on placing the complete design at the bottom with a copy of the exploded elements above, located at eye level. I explored different ideas such as separating the building more horizontally or going with a simplified diagrammatic look. I started out with the above illustration not really knowing what the end result would look like as is typically the case.
I liked seeing these types of illustrations in presentations because it shows the audience that the techtonics of the design have been thought through. Instead, this type of illustration emphasizes the relationship between the different elements and the role each element plays to the larger whole.
Even more though, I like how a successful exploded axon depends on a clear understanding of all the elements of a design, not just a single facade or dramatic interiors by themselves. They add a kinetic aspect to what is typically very stagnate fixed objects. I have always been intrigued by exploded axonometric illustrations.
