# Veras awarded Architosh's BEST of SHOW in Visualization and the Economics Prize at AIA26

The AIA Conference on Architecture and Design was held on June 10–13, 2026, in San Diego, USA. The Architosh 12th BEST of SHOW 2026 honors the most interesting and compelling software and digital technologies at AIA26. It featured an overwhelming number of digital technology providers from North America and beyond.

## Veras wins the Visualization Category and the Economics Prize

During two days of intensive reviews, Architosh editors evaluated the tech shaping global architecture to select their annual "BEST of SHOW" honors, which highlight innovative newcomer applications and critical industry trends.

[Chaos Veras](https://www.chaos.com/veras) was awarded BEST of SHOW 2026 in the Visualization category and the Economics Prize.

Pete Evans, AIA, Senior Associate Editor, Architosh, noted, “Veras is a whole new level of storytelling that invites more technically-based architects as well as non-technical designers, such as an office principal, to a new, rapid visual idea layer for interactive project visualization. Veras radically reduces the need for a technically accurate, time-consuming 3D model during early-stage ideation. This frees up valuable resources for creative visual iteration and communication.”

Anthony Frausto-Robledo, AIA, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Architosh, adds, “the time-savings and yield advantages of AI rendering tools like Veras are major force multipliers in practice. While there are numerous options in the market, we see future advantages of Veras being a part of Chaos beyond just its integration with all of Chaos’ tools.”

 

“While Veras is a worthy winner of the Economics prize for the sheer speed-up of its abilities to produce useful visuals deployable to different purposes in the design communication process, it is also disruptive to established archviz professionals who have painstakingly developed advanced visualization and animation skillsets,” says Frausto-Robledo.

“It’s not hard to see why Veras, and tools like it, are so incredibly popular. They accelerate both sides of the visualization coin: the part that helps us design as architects and the part that helps us sell our ideas to our clients.”
