Architecture In Perspective is the annual international competition and exhibition sponsored by the American Society of Architectural Perspectivists. Since its inception in 1986, ASAP's exhibition has become the single most prestigious forum for displaying original contemporary architectural illustration. Featuring juried artwork, selected from hundreds of submissions from ASAP members around the world, this eleventh anniversary edition of the exhibition catalog records distinguished examples of today's most respected practitioners. With fifty-four superb images in two categoty sections, Architecture In Perspective 11 showcases a broad range of illustration styles and techniques, representing the world's finest architectural firms and their designs.

Highlighted by the Hugh Ferriss Memorial Prize image and five other top awards, the catalog contains an authoritative overview of the jury selection process and juror's comments on the exhibition pieces. Further, an expanded Designated Entries section displays other examples of artwork submitted to the competition. A complete ASAP directory is also included.

The accomplished talents of the artists represented herein demonstrate the combination of aesthetic and technical mastery required of the profession. Through the deft manipulation of composition, the sensitivity of interpretation, and the unique portrayal of distinctive architecture, this compelling collection once again raises the standards of practice for architectural illustration.

As a reference work for the professional illustrator, an invaluable resource for the architect, an inspiration for the aspiring perspectivist, student, or architect-apprentice, and educational tool in colleges of architecture throughout North America or the world, Architecture In Perspective 11 provides both a permanent record of the current status of the art of architectural illustration, and an introduction to ASAP for anyone interested in the representation of architecture.
