The Architecture Drawing Prize 2023 selects three category winners

Jurors Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell describe: “This beautiful, skilful, and complex drawing expands the usual range of representational possibilities offered by maps. Through this drawing, Pedra Branca, a tiny outlying island of the archipelago becomes a signifier for the limited land supply of Singapore, and its fragile ecology within the complex geo-political environment of the South China Sea."

Hybrid Winner: (Re)membering the See Monster by Eldry John Infante

The Head of Exhibitions at Sir John Soane’s Museum, Louise Stewart, said: “We were impressed by this skilful and detailed drawing which has been digitally manipulated to create a very dynamic and varied composition. One of the drawing’s particular strengths is the way in which it uses a variety of visual languages, all of which convey information about how buildings work.” 

Hand-drawn Winner: Grundtvig by Ben Johnson

Make Architects founder Ken Shuttleworth describes: “As a jury, we are inspired by Ben Johnson’s work and the way he has created a compelling art form from hand-drawings of buildings. The execution of the Grundtvig Church drawing is so controlled and precise that it becomes a meaningful expression of how Ben experiences architecture.”
