Abstract
This paper examines North American 20th-century architectural drafts, plans, renders, and drawings as art illustrations. For the purpose of the paper, illustration is defined as a creative pictorial representation of a concept - And architectural drawing is defined as any rendering of a built or natural environment. Both illustration and architectural drawing are forms of visual communication, delineated by the intended audience, methodology, and syntax. Therefore, architectural rendering can be defined as an illustrative art form.
If the architectural render is a form of illustration, then the architectural draftsman is a type of illustrator. This paper intends to examine the ceaseless influence and importance of architectural renderings, and the illustrators that created them, as a part of the field of illustration.
