The exhibition will take place in the main gallery of Sir John Soane’s Museum, the historic house-museum of the renowned Regency architect and avid draughtsman, Sir John Soane. The winner of this year’s digital drawing category, and overall winner, was German architect Anton Markus Pasing, with his drawing ‘City in a box: paradox memories’. “I prefer the digital method for creating my work, because it allows me to achieve complex representations as well as being able to illustrate narrative aspects more clearly,” said Pasing. “I don’t aim to generate answers with my images, but to use them to ask questions or tell simple stories.”
Announced in June, the open call invited entries of all types and forms: from technical or construction drawings to cutaway or perspective views – and anything in between. Entries are accepted across three categories: 1) hand drawing; 2) digital drawing; and 3) hybrid drawing, combining the two. Submissions are evaluated on the basis of their technical skill, originality in approach and ability to convey an architectural idea, whether for a conceptual or actual building project.
“Now in its third year, the Architecture Drawing Prize has become an important annual celebration of the art of architectural drawing. This has been demonstrated by the increasing range and diversity of entries which have pushed the medium in new directions and shown just how important drawing continues to be as a tool in developing new ideas and new perspectives. The exhibition will offer a powerful insight into this rapidly evolving field”.
Owen Hopkins, Senior Curator of Exhibitions and Education.
“We’re delighted to start 2020 with an exhibition of the third edition of The Architecture Drawing Prize. The Prize is an on-going initiative that we have instigated together with Sir John Soane’s Museum and the World Architecture Festival. We are proud of the extremely high calibre of entries that the Prize is attracting world-wide as evident from the winning and commended drawings on show at the Soane, a museum that holds a very special place in architects’ hearts.”
