A growing number of UK architectural practices, including Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Haworth Tompkins, are integrating Blender into their BIM workflows to handle high-quality rendering and client presentation work previously outsourced to specialist visualisation firms.

Practitioners cite cost savings and improved creative control as primary drivers of adoption.
