Architectural Visualization by Anthony & Andy

 

Both Anthony and Andy happened to have worked on projects for the Chatwal Hotel - one of them on Exterior Renderings and one on Interior Renderings.

 

Andy Hickes opened his architectural rendering office in Manhattan after graduating from Carnegie-Mellon University in architecture. In 1985 he founded the New York Society of Renderers, the NYSR (http://www.NYSR.com), and as president started the NYSR Portfolio published every 4 years, to promote architectural illustrators. After working for many years in traditional media, mainly airbrush, he switched to computer in 1993. In 2003 he was honored as Photoshop Guru of the Year in Illustration, at PhotoshopWorld-Los Angeles. He received the Master award for Architectural Ilustration in the first EXPOSE 1 publication.

 

He was both a VisMaster Image of the Week and CGarchitect Visualization Pro of the Week in 2010. He judged the 2010 CGArchitect 7th Annual Architectural 3D International Awards . He will be showing recent projects and renderings currently in cgarchitect’s online auction for Japan relief .

He had a rendering in the first Architecture in Perspective exhibition competition in Boston in 1985 and has just had recent work selected for Architecture in Perspective 25 being held in Tokyo, Japan this October. He will focus on techniques to maintain the competitive edge that guarantees long term success in the ever changing field of architectural visualization.
