World Architecture Festival Drawing Prize

The Architecture Drawing Prize is an international competition that celebrates the art and skill of architectural drawing. The prize is curated by Make Architects, Sir John Soane’s Museum and the World Architecture Festival.

‘In the spirit of many great architects of the past, from Palladio and John Soane to Le Corbusier and Cedric Price, it’s an ideal platform for reflecting on and exploring how drawing continues to advance the art of architecture today.’ The Architecture Drawing Prize

Entries were welcomed from architects, designers and students from around the world, in the following categories: hand-drawing, digital and hybrid works.

It was wonderful to learn that ‘Drawing Architecture’ was selected and awarded a high commendation in the hand-drawing category. The piece is a celebration of the design process; documenting over one thousand individually hand drawn ink diagrams, sketches and annotations. ‘Drawing Architecture’ spans ten years of architectural thinking and includes work from my time at Bath University, competitions and live projects at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios

It was an honour to have my work displayed at the World Architecture Festival in Amsterdam and later exhibited at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London.
