ASAI Award for Excellence

Studio Rendering, Inc. Receives 2009 Award of Excellence from the American Society of Architectural Illustrators

Work to be Featured in 24th Annual Architecture in Perspective Exhibition

EVANSTON, IL February 16, 2009 -- Studio Rendering, Inc. has received a 2009 Award of Excellence from the American Society of Architectural Illustrators (ASAI). “Monarch Room” is one of 58 projects chosen for an award out of a field of almost four hundred entries. The project will be displayed in the 24th annual Architecture in Perspective exhibition, which is scheduled to open in Miami on October 23, 2009 as part of the Society’s annual convention. The exhibition will then travel to various venues throughout the United States and abroad.

The “Monarch Room” project is a rendering of the Monarch Room in the Milwaukee Hilton. It was commissioned by Gettys Chicago. According to Sonny Sultani, CEO of Studio Rendering, Inc., it was “the dynamics of the image itself, and the amount of work the Studio took to model out each piece in the image” that led him to submit this project for the ASAI award.

Architecture In Perspective is a juried, international, architectural competition.

The jury consists of respected professionals in the fields of architecture, illustration, photography, fine art, or design education. The catalog that accompanies the exhibition each year is an important reference not only for illustrators but for educators and sponsors
as well. The catalogues are distributed and sold worldwide.

About the American Society of Architectural Illustrators (ASAI)

The American Society of Architectural Illustrators (ASAI) was founded in 1986 as a professional organization to represent the business and artistic interests of architectural illustrators throughout North America and around the world. ASAI’s mandate is the fostering of communication among its members, raising the standards of architectural drawing, and acquainting the broader public with the importance of such drawings. Membership in the organization is not limited to professional illustrators, but is open to architects, designers, teachers, students, corporations, and anyone engaged in the serious pursuit of architectural drawing.

The principal means of achieving the organization’s goals is Architecture in Perspective. The artwork deemed to be the year’s most outstanding work is accorded the organization’s highest award, The Hugh Ferriss Memorial Prize. By providing not only award recognition, but also a forum for the practitioners of this art form, the American Society of Architectural Illustrators has focused attention on an increasingly diverse, yet refined, level of work.
