"The Spirit of Mountain" by Weicheng Ye.
The 2022 Winner of the Hand-Drawn Category is "The Spirit of Mountain" by Weicheng Ye. Drawn with pencil, the exceptionally atmospheric work explores the relationship between man-made and nature.
“This is a drawing of great delicacy which highlights the difference between a tall-building aesthetic, and the possibility of disrupting it in a creative way via the insertion of nature as artistic intervention.”
Paul Finch Jury Chair.
Fitzroy Food Institute by Samuel Wen.
The 2022 Hybrid Category winner is "Fitzroy Food Institute" by Samuel Wen. The drawing explores themes around Chinese culture, globalisation and automation.
“Fitzroy Food Institute stands out for its well-considered and subtle use of colour. It’s a very accessible drawing looking over a shared meal at a table; yet it is full of architectural interest featuring not only a plan, but sections and elevations as well as detail. A conceptually original and genuinely delightful entry.”
Ken Shuttleworthone of the eight Prize judges.
The Wall by Anton Markus Pasing.
Anton Markus Pasing who was the Overall Winner of The Architecture Drawing Prize in 2019 was selected as Digital Category winner this year. His drawing "The Wall" plays on ideas around the beginning, the end and the finite.
“The Wall fills the view with a golden elevation: expansive and richly complex, it appears both vertical and horizontal, before us and below us, a terrain of construction and sedimented accumulation. It is not a border or a barrier, it is a space itself, a place of habitation, a record of social interaction. The wall is like time, it is history in the making.”
Artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell judges.
