Architectural Visualisation in Edinburgh

An Edinburgh visualisation brief records the design, cameras and representation method; a heritage assessment interprets the effects. The Old and New Towns World Heritage Site is a specific geographic context, not a designation applied to every city address. Identify whether the proposal relates to that context or another sensitive setting through the project's assessment brief rather than assuming it from the city name.

Granton Waterfront, Fountainbridge and Leith are location references. Supply the actual site model, adjoining fabric and relevant wider landform. Where sensitive views form part of the assessment, agree the camera locations and documented matching requirements before photography or detailed rendering. NPF4 provides Scottish policy context; London AVR terminology is not automatically the specification for an Edinburgh submission.

Deliver each assessment view with its agreed scenario, source information and representation method. Keep illustrative marketing crops separate from the evidence set. The planning team identifies policy and submission requirements, while the image-production scope identifies what is modelled and documented. This distinction avoids presenting a realistic image as an assessment conclusion.

Edinburgh’s setting informs the brief where the proposal relates to sensitive views, historic fabric or a wider landscape. The Old and New Towns World Heritage Site is a specific geographic and assessment context, not a designation for every city project. The planning team identifies the relevant policy and specialist questions. NPF4 is Scotland’s national policy context; a rendering does not certify compliance with it. Record the agreed viewpoints and evidence methodology for the individual proposal.
