Peter Sheard CMLI - Experience - Society of Architectural Illustration

I am a member of the Society of Architectural Illustration, the professional body that brings together the world’s leading architectural artists, illustrators, model makers, animators and photographers.

Members of the SAI work in all disciplines and for architects, developers and designers in all industry sectors. They work with the full spectrum of techniques from time-honoured, traditional methods, including watercolour and pencil to the latest cutting-edge CGI technology, photo-real imagery and animation.

Architectural illustration comes in many forms including traditional elevations or plans, perspective drawings, animation, photomontage and artistic representations of interiors. It helps architects and developers to communicate their ideas and plans using visual representations. A powerful tool that taps into our need to imagine or visualise, architectural illustration, in common with all forms of architectural representation, allows the viewer to see into the future.

I have been a full member of the Society since 2017.
