Overview

The Theme of the Competition is ‘The Passage’. Architecture is never static. We move through the space, passing from one experience to another. How is this passage possible? Can we depict this? How much can the drawing express when lacking the sound, air and smell of the actual space? How is it possible to depict the space if it is always experienced in different ways, depending on season, mood or time of the day? Can we really depict all this? Or just some of it? Draw a passage.

Description
The possibilities of expressing yourself in drawing are greater than ever. Apart from the classical, basic tools such as paper, pencil, charcoal, pen and colour, we now have
computers and programmes to design various things in two and three dimensions. We are now able to design amazing worlds, animate them and make them visible from multiple angles. We can create light and shadow, beauty and horror in new remarkable ways. The most important thing is our imagination - our visualizations while drawing. Thus, the drawing in itself is ineffective. It is rather an instrument for our imagination to take form.

The jury will focus on the interpretation of space and spatiality of the entries and their capability of renewing the architectural drawing.
