Abstract

Effective architectural communication relies on translating complex design concepts into clear and compelling visual representations. Revit, a Building Information Modeling tool, is a widely used digital software in the architecture profession. It offers powerful tools for enhancing this process by integrating 3D modeling, technical documentation, and visualization within a single platform. This research explores the utilization of Revit to develop high-quality visualizations and detailed illustrative drawings for architectural design projects. The study specifically focuses on an equine facility’s design, visualization, and advanced documentation, demonstrating how Revit’s capabilities enhance the visualization and communication of complex design elements. Unlike traditional 2D drafting, Revit enables real-time design iteration, data-driven decision-making, and the generation of high-quality illustrative drawings that support both conceptual development and construction documentation.

The study examines the unique capacity to use Revit to enhance the visualization and communication of architectural design, focusing on the development of an equine facility as a case study. Specifically, the study examines how Revit facilitates the modeling and documentation of equine-specific architectural elements such as structure, space, scale, and function. By refining these visualization techniques, designers can improve project presentations, facilitate client communication, and enhance decision-making in the agricultural architecture sector.

Additionally, this research highlights best practices for maximizing Revit’s modeling and visualization tools to create realistic and informative architectural drawings and graphics that support design intent and strong design communication. This research takes a theoretical approach to architectural visualization, situating Revit within the broader evolution of design communication. By analyzing the role of digital tools in bridging conceptual and technical aspects of design, this study provides valuable insights for architects, students, and professionals seeking to refine their workflows. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how digital visualization tools like Revit can maximize modeling and documentation tools, elevate the design and presentation of equine facilities, and ultimately enhance architectural communication to stakeholders within the agricultural and equine industries.
