The Art of Architectural Illustration 2

Featuring illustrators from four continents, The Art of Architectural Illustration 2 assembles the best artists in the field in one beautiful, four-color book. Four prominent artists are showcased in essays, sharing the tips, techniques, and approaches that have brought them success. In this book, the artists' drawings and the accompanying essays show that Hugh Ferriss's classic philosophies from more than sixty years ago still remain the grounding for the best work, even in this age of hyper-realistic computer renderings and electronic wizardry.

Hand-rendered watercolor and ink drawings for projects both built and unbuilt appear on these pages, side by side with computer-assisted illustration from the cutting-edge of technology. The dramatic imagery of this 240-page volume will serve as an essential addition to any architectural design library.

Each illustrator's work is introduced with brief, personal commentary, with detailed captions that provide the information any artist needs to inspire his or her own unique work: project, architect, medium, and rendering size.

Editor Gordon Grice is a Toronto-based architect/illustrator who serves an international clientele. Past president and current Board of Govenors memer of the American Society of Architectural Perspectivists ASAP), Grice has edited four books on architectural illustration for Rockport Publishers.
