Fourteen major international rendering studios present a selection of their work, together with comments on their methodology and use of digital technology, this book traces the history and along the way rehabilitates this occupation as an independent discipline in the broad sphere of architecture. It contains a comprehensive overview of the earliest architectural drawings through to modern, highly technical forms of digital rendering, including tutorials based on the everyday praxis. With additional essays by the renowned professors Augusto Romano Burelli (Udine / Venice) and Fabrizio Avella (Palermo/Agrigento).
