Summary/Abstract: Visualisations of architectural designs are generally popular and attractive form of presenting a final effect of an intended architectural project. It has to be noted that under the provisions of copyright law, the legal status of such visualisations may not be perceived uniformly. The main reasons for such phenomenon is both lack of legal definition of the term “visualisation” and “architectural work” which constitutes a base to each visualization.Not only does this derivation aim at carrying out the analysis and sorting out the legal concepts concerning visualisations of architectural designs, but also attempts to determine their copyright status.
