Arch2O Drawings Challenge 2022

Whether hand-drawn or digital, Architectural Drawings serve as the language of architects – through these drawings they tell the stories of existing buildings or foretell the stories of their designs. Ranging from abstract to highly detailed, and from strictly engineered to highly illustrated, architectural drawings give different senses of their context. The Arch2O Drawing Challenge calls for architectural drawings that convey the notion of their location and culture and tell stories of how people connect with these buildings.
