2004 AEC Caddies
13 May, 2004 By: Laracella SheridanCongratulations to this year?s AEC CADDIES Image Award winners.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS year’s AEC CADDIES Image Award winners. As usual, competition was fierce and judges had a tough time choosing the winners.
We received more than 100 entries this year, and the design work continues to improve. Judge Richard Buday says it well: “I’m very impressed with the overall technical quality and artistic diversity of images. Many professional illustrators seem to be reaching toward artistic interpretations of building exteriors. The best interior renderings, on the other hand, have the science of photorealism down to art.” A big thank you to our judges, who spent valuable time poring over the images: Richard Buday, Bill Burchard, Michael Dakan, H. Edward Goldberg, and Mark Middlebrook.
Watch next month for the Mechanical winners.
