One of the most common questions asked about the Architecture in Perspective {AIP} Competition is "How are the entries categorized?". The AIP Professional competition features two Sections: Rendering {including a Formal and an Informal category} and Observational. A separate competition is held for students. Winners in both Competitions appear in the annual Architecture in Perspective catalog.
