Entries open for The Architecture Drawing Prize 2023
Overall winners in 2022 were (Kiwi) Samuel Wen and Michael Ren (University of Melbourne).
Shortlisted in 2021 was New Zealander William du Toit’s ‘The Stamper Battery.’
In partnership with Make Architects and Sir John Soane’s Museum, World Architecture Festival (WAF) announces the call for entries for the seventh edition of The Architecture Drawing Prize, sponsored by Iris Ceramica Group. Launched in 2017, the Prize was established to celebrate and showcase the art and skill of architectural drawing.
In the spirit of work by great architects of the past, from Palladio and John Soane to Le Corbusier and Cedric Price, The Architecture Drawing Prize is a platform for reflecting on and exploring how drawing continues to advance the art of architecture today. It embraces the creative use of digital tools and digitally produced renderings, while recognising the enduring importance of hand drawing.
WAF invites entries of all types and forms—from conceptual to technical or construction drawings, cutaways or perspective views—and anything in between. Entries are welcomed from architects, designers and students from around the world in the following categories: Hand-drawn, Digital and Hybrid (combining the two).
Submissions across the three categories will be evaluated based on their technical skill, originality of approach and ability to convey an architectural idea. Drawings can be entirely speculative or relate to real projects.
The winning and shortlisted drawings will be exhibited at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London from 31 January–3 March, 2024. The overall Prize winner will have their travel expenses covered to join the exhibition preview. The overall winner and category winners will also receive complimentary delegate passes to attend WAF in Singapore, where their drawings will be displayed on The Architecture Drawing Prize stand including a ticket to the Gala Dinner.
This year’s judges are Founder of Lily Jencks Studio, Lily Jencks; Artists Ben Langlands & Nikki Bell; Artist Pablo Bronstein; Iris Ceramica Group CEO, Federica Minozzi; Senior Partner at Foster + Partners, Narinder Sagoo, Founder of Make Architects, Ken Shuttleworth; and Head of Exhibitions at Sir John Soane’s Museum, Louise Stewart.
