Architectural theory turns professional 32 | ideal of conceptual designer: a digital board to save the world


If the real buildings can’t change anything, maybe I can be a city in the virtual world.

What fairytale…

The wild hope of architects is actually a false proposition.

This came from a passage from the studio teacher at that time, which roughly means that a good architect serves everyone who uses architecture, not just Party A.

And at that time, this major was indeed the one with the highest score requirements, so I rushed decisively.

According to the style and direction that different artists are good at, the probability can be exchanged.

The original scene painting and scene art recruited by many companies are actually conceptual design.

Because I expected that the days of double cultivation of magic and martial arts would be more bitter, I chose UCB, which is said to stay up the least..

When I graduated from high school in 2013, the situation of the real estate industry was very good.

So after graduation, some people choose interior design, and many choose graduate students to study for a real degree in architecture.

Shuan Shuan #bg2013-2017 undergraduate course: Qingmei – Environmental Art 2018-2021 master: ucberkeley # work experience – before going abroad gapyear: Tsinghua Institute – Assistant Researcher (actually doing some landscape projects with teachers + helping teachers publish books and typesetting) -Internship in the first year of graduate students: internship in conceptual design in a studio – currently working as early stage scene art in an animation film studio in Beijing – outsourcing from some game companies in spare time.

Then I made all kinds of efforts and participated in various competitions to prepare for going abroad.

However, because the domestic industrialization process is not particularly perfect, and the company’s R & D runs through the whole development cycle, it is often mixed.

Thankfully, in the year of graduation…

When I was confused, what gave me the idea of changing my career was the “journey to the dream ring” in 2017, in which the city of the dead gave me an idea.

It has long been a sign for me to switch to conceptual design under double academic pressure.

I failed to pass the TOEFL test three times:) pictures / model photos, full of boredom, so I held the thigh of the intern’s construction teacher.

Gapyear did a collection of works and exams while working, and timely accepted the severe beating of the society, Get rid of the idea of changing the world as an architect – painting the ground pavement with CAD doesn’t look like the business of a magical girl who should save the world! In my work, I gradually realized that people’s joys and sorrows are not interlinked.

I heard that I didn’t worry about work, and various companies scrambled for it.

When I was studying, the competition that most impressed me was what kind of moon residence…

The demand of conceptual design spans three different fields: film and television, animation and games.

In retrospect, the essence of these competitions is to do the general design work! At that time, I was sure that I would change my career.

This kind of project is almost a world outlook architecture.

They will only feel that CCTV building is like underpants.

On the one hand, I can’t let go of my famous school complex, on the other hand, I have no clue about new fields.

What is conceptual design? At the beginning, let’s introduce the concept design industry.

On the other hand, After four years of study, I really fell in love with architecture (just a subject! Not a job!), I also hope to have a chance to learn this subject thoroughly and see if there are any new opportunities.

Naturally, they were popular players.

Later, it was found that there was a pit hidden here – in the last decade before the rendering technology had been developed, the students of the old Academy of Arts and crafts produced a beautiful hand-painted effect drawing with their own art students’ hand-painted foundation and design background.

At that time, I didn’t know that there was a profession called conceptual design in the world.

After all, the specialty is no better than the architecture department.

At this time, my TOEFL finally passed.

Most of the projects in these three fields are divided into the first, middle and later stages according to pipeline.

Received offers from UC Berkeley, SCI arc, Columbia University and RISD.

After a brief chat with a friend of my friend, a concept designer of a special effects company (thank you again here), I think the architectural background may be an advantage.

In essence, everyone is still painting, but with the more and more anti sky functions of software, there are more and more 3D artists.

On the other hand, I can cushion myself from the pressure of being out of work and changing careers, and have a longer time for brewing and preparation.

In addition, coco told a story of trying to pursue dreams, and I suddenly became embroiled.

Normal human beings do not want to be saved by elite architects.

Architecture and environmental art were still very popular majors, especially Qingmei environmental art.

There were two obstacles in front of me.

On the one hand, I might as well take advantage of my three-year postgraduate study to double study painting.

I thought, it’s so cool! I want to be an architect!! I want to change the world! I want to make mankind live a better life! I’m going to hamapuye for graduate school! In retrospect, the teacher who probably came from Yale has a successful career, a halo, a good conversation, and a good-looking one meter long, so he is right in everything he says.

However, with the development of science and technology, when designers rely more on computers, our specialty is gradually embarrassed.

I’m one of them.

The conceptual design is the early stage, meixuan, the original painting, and the previous group leaders are all regarded as the middle and later stages, that is, the picture designed by the conceptual design is not the commodity itself, but a visual tone for the shooting, asset making, lighting and rendering in the middle and later stages, so it is often called visual development.

In fact, when I was an undergraduate, I was unilaterally (rereaded) moved by the discipline of architecture.

Architecture can’t save the world.

At present, this is still a work based on art.

For example, I prefer scenes.

Generally, companies recruit people separately.

Many friends with more work experience have done all three projects.

Artists also tend to prefer scenes or roles.
