Lumion plays an important role in the firm’s design process, allowing them to communicate their designs with precision and clarity. We spoke to Emma Meriwether, a key member of their team and a dedicated Lumion user since her student days. Keep on reading to learn more about Emma and her journey from architecture student to architectural designer, all with Lumion by her side.
Tell us how you got started with Lumion.
Emma: To be frank, I’ve known Lumion as long as I’ve known architecture! I studied at a small school in West Virginia, with my graduating class being around 10 people. I had remembered seeing architectural visualization online, not quite knowing what exactly “rendering” was. As we got into designing and modeling through the architecture program, Lumion began to spread through my class. It ended up being an excellent tool for me to research elements of architecture and figure them out. I’ve always looked at rendering and design as two different processes, but somehow, with Lumion, they align perfectly.
