Publisher's Synopsis
Architectural rendering is the visualization of proposed architectural projects as they will appear when built, often depicted in the surrounding context of the site location. It is an increasingly important area of illustration, not just for the architect and his client, but for planners, local authorities and everyone involved in the quality of the built environment. It is a specialized form of illustration, developed now to the highest sophistication by practitioners in America, Britain and Japan. This book shows, step by step, how such illustrations are build up, covering the full range of media and techniques involved, and explaining the special problems of perception and visualization encountered in architectural rendering. A comprehensive gallery of finished work from around the world demonstrates the extraordinary range and quality of current practice.;Most of the projects shown here are now built, or building - readers may therefore see for themselves the value of architectural rendering.
