The software to produce reasonably sophisticated images being available at affordable prices and the increasing power of generally affordable computers have contributed to this trend. It is also probably the case that the run-of-the-mill architectural practice sees the competition producing this kind of image with a superficially beguiling quality and follow suit. What we ask in this paper is whether we should be more thoughtful about the kind of image used? Should the kind of image chosen to suit the stage of the design that it applies to and the nature of the human agents viewing the image? Of course, in posing the question we imply our answer, that it should. What we do in this paper is to illustrate why we feel it should and what the consequences are for the education of architects who are about to join the world of practice.  \n1 School of Architecture and Building Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, U.K.  \nTel: ++151 794 2611 Fax: ++151 794 2605 email: [andygpb@liv.ac.uk](andygpb@liv.ac.uk)  \neCAADe 1996-PDF-Proceedings (conversion 2000) 79  \nComputer generated architectural images in practice: what kind?, when?  \nStart Point  \nThe principal use of computers in architectural practice is the production of 2D drawings or, in other words, the use of the computer an as electronic drawing board (Richens, 1994) . However, over the past few years, there has been a noticeable increase in the use of CAD facilities for visualisation, post-processing and representation. Sanders (1996), for instance, illustrates twelve common post processing (what he refers to as image editing) techniques that are available in standard packages and Bartlett [et.al](et.al). (1996) show the practicing architect what is possible in architectural rendering with a single package. Sanders also shows how the computer can be used in more inventive ways (to produce, for instance, multilayer artwork) than simply driving it in the routine fashion suggested by training manuals. What we want to do is to go a stage further and not only be inventive but also make the image respond to user and circumstance.  \nDuring the design process it is recognised that different stages can be identified such as sketches, drawings for developing ideas and images for presenting design intentions (Brown and Horton, 1991; Edwards, 1993) . Historically the tendency has been to present drawings and other associated images in different ways in accordance to the purpose of the stage itself. This means using a certain technique to present the building in a certain stage may not be appropriate to be used in presenting the building in another stage.  \nThe introduction of CAAD facilities has changed that state of affairs to some extent. Practices tend to use a limited range of software and thus are limited to the range of presentation styles embodied in the package. It is this fact that we wish to pursue and to follow by asking ”what kind of image should we be producing at a particular stage and for a particular audience?”  \nIntersection  \nA central role of CAAD is its function in communicating and presenting design ideas. Here weare concerned with the accurate communication of architectural intention about a buildings. In particular we are interested to establish what kind of image it is appropriate to use in response to different design stages and different predisposition’s ofthe human viewer.  \nOur starting points are previous research by other workers in the field dating back over 30 years. One of the mistakes which we tend to make in CAAD research is to overlook research work which is anything other than contemporary (Maver, 1995) .
