Late in 2012, FX and Blueprint ran an architectural drawing competition in collaboration with Drawing at Work, the company dedicated to nurturing drawing in the workplace. We’re delighted to say we have been deluged by entries, and the best of the lot go on display at The Building Centre in London this July.
The competition challenged readers to draw anything they liked, but following a series of tips, hints and ‘rules’ published alongside the brief. These enabled readers to achieve technical drawing standards like single and two-point perspectives and isometric views.
Designed to enable readers to transfer ideas to engineers, clients and contractors, the instructive brief was hugely popular and helped to attract over 150 entries to the competition from across the world.
Now an exhibition showcases the winning submission, the five shortlisted drawings and 70 of our favourite entries. The drawings display a range of subjects, styles and ideas which are all tied together by strong technical drawing skills which are at the heart of the competition.
