Architecture in Perspective 26: 26th Annual International Competition of Architectural Illustration

With this call for entries, ASAI announces Tokyo, Japan as its conference venue September 25 - October 2, 2011.

The American Society of Architectural Illustrators, ASAI, is a nonprofit professional organization whose principal purposes are to foster communication among architectural illustrators, to raise the standards of architectural rendering internationally, and to acquaint a broader public with the importance of such drawing as integral to the practice of architecture. ASAI’s annual international competition and exhibition further the society’s objectives by selecting its members’ most outstanding work and presenting it in major venues worldwide over the course of the year. Selected artwork is also reproduced on the website at www.asai.org. ASAI membership is open to all illustrators, architects, designers, students, and others engaged in the serious pursuit of architectural drawing as a design or presentation tool.
