Product Description
NYSR produces the Portfolio every few years, both as a showcase of the very best in contemporary architectural illustration, and as a resource for architects, developers, and designers who wish to commission renderings of their own. This edition is by far the largest we have produced to date, and features over 360 color renderings by 46 top illustrators, a foreword by Alan Ritchie of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects, and contact information for each artist.
The illustrators featured in the NYSR Portfolio represent a broad array of styles and techniques; from traditional media such as watercolor and gouache, to digital renderings, to hybrid renderings that combine computer and hand work. As a design professional, you know that renderings are often the most public face of your project prior to construction. The right rendering can help sell your ideas to clients, prospective tenants, regulatory bodies, and communities. Within the Portfolio, it is our hope that you will find the right illustrator for your project.

The New York Society of Renderers was founded in 1985 to give definition to the profession of architectural and interior rendering. We seek to promote the work of our members through publications, the Internet, exhibitions and referrals. We act as a forum to establish professional standards and to discuss business issues affecting renderers today.
Alan Ritchie, who received his architectural education in his native England, has over thirty years of experience. After the completion of his training, he worked for six years in England.
