If you liked the art, you'll love the architecture. That's the idea behind the growing army of architectural illustrators, renderers and computer imagists whose pictures of buildings-to-be never fail to offer the promise of a more beautiful city, if not a better world. Artists have long drawn on the power of architecture, of course – think of Hugh Ferriss's extraordinary drawings of New York towers in the 1920s. But in recent years their work has reached new heights or, some might say, depths. Perhaps because the stakes are so great in the boom economy of today, when development seems to be happening on every corner, the "artist's rendering" has become a genre all its own.
