KEYSHOT FOR STUDENTS PRO
I’ve learned to use an array of industry-standard software packages including Rhino, Sketchup, Vectorworks and Revit to build digital models, Twinmotion and Keyshot to render, Adobe Indesign to create portfolios and presentation panels Illustrator for line drawings, Adobe Premier Pro and Rush for video-production. This is a required skill for an architecture graduate, and I’ve become highly skilled using Photoshop, in which I create all my archi-visuals from scratch. As a traditional artist, I struggled with creating art digitally. The facilities on campus have been incredible for my architectural projects and I’ve had access to lots of new technologies I hadn’t used before.
I learned that I didn’t need to abandon my existing artistic skills, that I could combine them with the disciplines of architecture to create something great. I hand-drew all the panels for the project and was delighted to receive a first. I drew my precedents, my inspirations and my ideas, and this started to give my work more depth and truth. On the next project, I went back to basics and started with the traditional drawing skills that felt comfortable. I almost failed one of the early projects on the course because I was merely attempting to replicate what everyone else was doing, I wasn’t thinking for myself. That’s where the challenge stood for me and I was ready to break down everything I had learned, and rebuild my knowledge. I could draw and had transferable skills but there are no rules to what a portrait of a face should look like whereas creating a façade or a building required accuracy.
I only knew that architecture was about buildings and when I first started, I wasn’t sure if the course was for me. A friend of my brother had been accepted to BCU so, knowing there would be one familiar face, I decided to give it a go. I was a Turkish citizen and had already studied in Qatar so if there was a step forward, it would be to move to an entirely different country for the next stage of my life. I wanted to take risks and broaden my horizons, so my father suggested channelling my drawing skills into architecture. Just a few months later, I had quit this job and completed an acting course at the Doha Film Institution but still felt unfulfilled. I knew what I wanted to do and it wasn’t education I was going to continue my part time job as an artist at Souq Waqif Art Center in Qatar and save money to follow my heart. In high school, when other students were discussing their university options, I never took any interest in the matter. In his time at university, Emre has overcome personal and creative challenges, learned a whole host of new skills, and has grown in confidence as a designer. Originally from Turkey, Emre Süner worked as a portrait artist for a decade before embarking on a move to the UK to study on BCU’s BA (Hons) Architecture course.
