That original spiller article is about 8 years old and perhaps more relivent then with regards to people playing with toys that weren't designed for architecture.

I think the blogger is way off in his point of separating of the film and architectural industries, which has been discussed recently on this forum. I worry that he is a bit out of touch with what people like uniform and neoscape are creating. I know there is still a lot of rubbish out there but I think the arch viz industry is a bit more creative and responsible than he makes out.

Just my opinion though!!
