La Central, New York, NY<br />

One of the challenges of rendering such a large-scale<br />

project is choosing views that capture all of the important<br />

elements of the proposal. Aerial views were<br />

chosen to illustrate the landscaped elements of the<br />

roof, whereas street views incorporate the community<br />

amenities—such as the YMCA—that will be part<br />

of La Central. Input from these community groups<br />

influenced various architectural and landscape elements<br />

of the project and these elements can certainly<br />

be seen in the project’s renderings, but ultimately<br />

FXFOWLE acted as the sole art director for the exterior<br />

rendering shown here. 9<br />
