In the heart of Shimla, where time and architecture converge, the ADC (Athematic Dramatic Club) building stood as a silent witness to history. Urban Elements Studio, the visionary architects, took up the mantle of restoration, interiors, and lighting design. Alongside them, Pie Visualization, powered by Pie Interiors, embarked on a journey of pixels and creativity, crafting CGI wonders that breathe life into the historical tapestry. Today, we peel back the curtain and invite you into the enchanting world of creation.
Urban Elements Studio: A Symphony of Renovation and Design of ADC
Urban Elements Studio, the maestros of design, delved into the intricacies of ADC's restoration. But how does one bring history into the present? Every stroke of the brush, every calculated decision to preserve or enhance, became a step in this dance with time. Hidden corners were uncovered, and the façade's grandeur was meticulously restored. Urban Elements Studio didn't just design; they curated a journey through eras.
Lighting Design: The Choreography of Shadows
As daylight waned, Urban Elements Studio's dance with light began. The exterior lighting overhaul became a canvas for storytelling. Shadows now whisper tales of the past as the building transforms into a nocturnal masterpiece. The Ridge and South Courts become a stage, and the lighting design, a symphony of illumination, unfolds in harmonious splendour

The CGI Alchemy: A Glimpse into the Process
Embark on a journey through the digital atelier where dreams take shape. The conceptualization phase saw sketches evolving into blueprints, laying the foundation for ADC's virtual rebirth. Witness the birth of every pixel as screenshots capture the meticulous 3D modeling, where each virtual corner emerges with precision and passion. Textures breathe life into surfaces, and lighting becomes the brushstroke that adds warmth and depth to every CGI scene. As the virtual world takes form, fine-tuning becomes an art, ensuring every detail aligns with the vision. The magic reaches its crescendo as the final render button is pressed—ADC's transformation from lines of code to visual poetry is complete.
