Louise Stewart, Director of Sir John Soane's Museum says:
Along with producing his own buildings, Sir John Soane sought to inspire young architects to learn from the built world around them, and did so through using drawings in innovative ways.The Architecture Drawing Prize continues this tradition, showcasing new work that celebrates draughtsmanship, skill and innovation.
This year’s Architecture Drawing Prize exhibition at Sir John Soane’s Museum takes the visionary as its theme. The curators are combining selected drawings from the Prize with examples from Soane’s collection to showcase how drawing is at the very heart of expressing innovation and design intent in architecture. A reading table dedicated to exceptional drawings through the history of architecture will enable visitors to contextualise the exhibited contemporary drawings from the Prize.
Other highlights of the exhibition are the 2023 Category winners’ works that are notable for their play on the idea of representation and pictorial conventions. The three winning drawings are:
Hand-drawn category: ‘Grundtvig’ by Ben Johnson – United Kingdom
Digital Category: ‘The Archatographic Map of the Incomplete Landscape on Pedra Branca’ by Eugene Tan - Singapore
Hybrid Category: ‘(Re)membering the See Monster’ by Eldry John Infante - Philippines
The Overall Winner of The Architecture Drawing Prize will be announced on 29 January ahead of the exhibition opening.
Ken Shuttleworth, founder of Make Architects who originally set up The Architecture Drawing Prize, comments:
The annual exhibition at Sir John Soane Museum is what makes this Prize programme so special and we welcome seeing the selected entrants’ work celebrated in London in this way by both our profession and the wider public from around the world
