Architectural Visualizations

Madrasa

Madrasa explores the contemporary reinterpretation of historic educational spaces. The design integrates light, shadow, and material to evoke the serenity and rhythm of traditional Islamic architecture.

A modern addition—transparent and restrained—is carefully placed within the courtyard, establishing a silent dialogue between past and present.

This is a space shaped not only by structure, but by time, memory, and the atmosphere of knowledge.

Focus Details

This project emphasizes architectural storytelling through light, texture, and composition. The iconic vaulted geometry and arches were modeled from scratch to reflect historical accuracy, while the stone surfaces were detailed with layered bump and displacement maps to enhance realism.

V-Ray Environment Fog was used to simulate soft light rays filtering through the space, creating a hazy, contemplative atmosphere. The lighting design highlights contrasts between warm sun exposure and cooler interior shadows, reinforcing spatial depth and material age.
