THE BOOK
This is a personal project called THE Book, which is very much connected to my university days. I am an architect and interior designer, but I am also deeply passionate about rendering. The transition from being an architect to becoming a 3D artist is something I pursue at all costs.
The image is part of a project package I am developing, aimed at telling the story of my academic life. THE Book will consist of 10 projects, all with the same name, and this is THE Book – Version 01, with plans to reach version 10.
In this first version, I wanted to showcase a room similar to the one I had during my university years, where my desk was always marked by cuts from the X-Acto knife I used to create models. As you can see, the books on the desk are mostly architecture books. The project visible on the sheet is a floor plan that is part of my final graduation project. The detail of "LOVE" was meant to represent all the support my fiancée gave me during my academic journey and continues to give me today. The idea of writing "LOVE" came from a rainy day here in Luanda when she was at my place and, in a loving gesture, wrote this word in the book on my desk. I thought that moment was beautiful, and that's why I decided to immortalize the gesture in the project.
