The fourth annual Architecture Drawing Prize, which is curated by the World Architecture Festival (WAF), Sir John Soane’s Museum and Make Architects, just revealed its 2020 winners.
Overall winner and hybrid category winner: Apartment #5, a labyrinth and repository of spatial memories by Clement Laurencio, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, wowed the judges and other entrants.
The entries of the prize winners will also be exhibited at WAF 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The judges noted how this drawing creates a labyrinth of drawings, each with its own story. Familiarity and mystery are conveyed with a sensitive, confident technique of great skill and precision. There is nothing loud or colourful, only a realm of acutely observed detail with a powerful muted presence. You can really imagine being here.
The judges were captivated by the Airplane Tower drawing’s immediacy, wit and use of multiple perspectives while addressing serious questions around the Covid-19 pandemic. It is interlinking the environment and reuse agenda with the housing crisis and the many challenges faced by the travel industry.
Other shortlisted entries in the hybrid category are:
