Over the past six years, the @soanemuseum has exhibited the best of The Architecture Drawing Prize entries.

The Prize has got Dr Erin McKellar, Assistant Curator at the Soane, thinking about how this art form can best be presented to a wide range of audiences.

“When putting the exhibition together, I position complex drawings so that visitors have plenty of room to dwell on them as long as they like without feeling crowded. Care is also given to what we want visitors to see first and last.”

Read Erin’s thoughts on Soane’s original drawing instruments, currently on display at the Museum, and the emergence of virtual galleries, as seen through @vca.gallery (links in bio and below 👇).

The Architecture Drawing Prize exhibition is on until Monday, 8 May.

Text by VCA:
“This exhibition revisits some of the most impressive and innovative submissions to The Architecture Drawing Prize since it was launched in 2017.

Established by Make Architects in partnership with Sir John Soane’s Museum and the World Architecture Festival, the Prize celebrates the importance of drawing in capturing and communicating architectural ideas. Each year, it inspires vivid reflection on the role of drawing in architecture today, both as an art form and a practical skill, with hundreds of entries received to date from students, designers and artists across several dozen countries.

The exhibition features more than 30 drawings across 12 rooms, including the individual category winners of the 2021 Prize. Between them are real-life proposals and utopian fantasies, ideas that explore, imagine and reinvent the futures of our buildings and cities. Harnessing a variety of themes and subjects, they embrace the creative use of digital tools and renderings while also demonstrating the enduring importance of hand drawing.

Enter the virtual gallery by clicking the green button on the right. Visitors can navigate the rooms one by one, exploring the artwork up close and in depth, until 14 March, 2022.”

The @architecturedrawingprize is celebrating its fifth year and continues to attract outstanding entries from around the world.

This year's Digital category Winner is ‘Site(s) of Flux’ by Zachary Higson [@zachigson]. ‘Site(s) of Flux’ is a location-based project investigating the nature of place. It begins to question how a traditional architectural project should be carried out in terms of the relationships between studio (bedroom) and site.

Narinder Sagoo, Senior Partner at @fosterandpartners and one of the Prize judges, explained why it was selected as the Winner in the digital category, “Our digital prize winner ‘Sites(s) of Flux’ creates a Soane-like montage of models, photos and paintings within a two-dimensional picture plane. A drawing within a drawing, and more. One could explore this piece time and time again, discovering another level of genius each time.”

‘Site(s) of Flux’ was also selected for The Lockdown Prize, established during the pandemic, and is awarded to one of the finalists in the hand-drawn, hybrid and digital categories.

World Architecture Festival Director, Paul Finch, who chaired the judging panel comments “This drawing was generated in the potentially claustrophobic context of home isolation during the pandemic. The depth of constructive engagement with the immediately available, and the work that resulted, make ‘Site(s) of Flux’ a worthy winner of this year’s Lockdown Prize.”

For this year’s @architecturedrawingprize there are two joint Winners in the Hybrid category that highlight originality and flair in combining different drawing techniques. The judges were equally impressed by ‘Fluid Strata’ by Filippa Dafni [@filippa__d_arch] and ‘(Un)homeliness’ by Boji Hu.

‘Fluid Strata’ (image 1) is a drawing responding to the climate emergency in Central London by proposing the activation of the “Deep Ground” as a responsive flood-defence landscape.

Ken Shuttleworth, founder of @make_architects and judge, commented on Dafni’s drawing,“As a jury we were all impressed by Fluid Strata and the way it blurs the lines between physical objects and drawing with great skill and imagination, making it a truly exceptional example of a hybrid rendering.”

Boji Hu’s ‘(Un)homeliness’ (image 2) includes a hand-drawn short film together with a set of images. The two-part work explores the boundaries of private and public spheres by fulfilling the potential of the vacant urban interior to shield homeless people, refugee, and asylum seekers.

Fellow judge and architect Lily Jencks, Co-founder of @lilyjencksstudio /Jencks Squared, says of the joint hybrid category winner, “‘(Un)homeliness’ is a powerful story told with a moody suggestive pencil gesture. It was exciting to see the stills animated with sound to convey a strong atmospheric urban scene, accompanied by beautiful renders to give a sense of a full potential of hybrid architectural drawings.”

The @architecturedrawingprize this year has been exceptional in the number and strength of student submissions the Prize has attracted across its three categories for entry: hand-drawn, hybrid and digital. In fact, the winning drawings for all three categories are by students.

The Winner of the Hand-Drawn category is ‘Reconfiguring Addis Ababa's Narratives’ by Antonio Paoletti.

It depicts a graphic novel exploring a proposal for the redevelopment of Addis Ababa’s dilapidated historical districts, where the livelihoods of resident communities are threatened by the city’s rapid urbanisation.

The @soanemuseum’s Exhibitions Curator and Architecture Drawing Prize judge, Louise Stewart, describes the work, “This impressive drawing uses an unusual format to place narrative and the impact of buildings on peoples’ lives at the heart of architectural drawing. This approach highlights the vibrancy of architectural drawing today, and the way it facilitates creativity and experimentation.”
