Computer Aided Design allows people to create an object, building, space, etc. three-dimensionally without having to actually build it, necessarily.
Has anyone seen the show on hgtv hidden potential? its kind of cheesy but the idea is that homebuyers look at 3 different homes that are in need of serious renovations.
Then, an architect comes along and does really nice renderings of what the spaces could look like based on a budget and timeline and so on. Then, based on those renderings the buyers chose a home that they think suits them the best.
The sad part is that after they buy the house im pretty sure they're on their own and probably have no idea how to do such extreme renovations in a timely fashion and on a budget but at least they've seen its hidden potential!

The New York Times has a somewhat similar, regular feature called "Sketch pad", where an architect proposes a renovation to a real estate property that is on the market. Because it is relatively easy to create visualizations of a project, the presentation of an proposal like this becomes really important. As a result, a certain level of ambiguity is desirable to communicate that what the viewer is looking at is indeed a proposal - still flexible, and not entirely worked out. To accomodate for this, there are a number of "non-photo realistic" renderers available
