Here's how I "read" renderings: I look at the typical architect/builder's supply chain (ie their usual supplier of doors, spandrel, windows, brick, precast, cladding, flashing etc they've used on previous projects), I research the marketing company's history, I read what the developer thinks is hip, I compare the architects previous rendered proposals to the actual completed buildings, I consider the architects "artistry--how cool are they--their blog/website is an easy gauge--do they win design awards, would they be featured in leading architecture magazines?--and then I filter the results. It's almost like I'm un-photoshopping the renderings into my sense of reality.
Think of a simple box. Which architect would you hire to design the box?
I guarantee YC Condos as proposed will look like YUCK Condos c.2020.
