Drawing of the Year<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n The Aarhus School of Architecture proudly presents the jury for Drawing of the Year 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><\/div><\/div> Of Filipino origins, Laurencio was born in France where he is currently based. He received his B.Arch ARB\/RIBA Part 1 from the University of Nottingham (UK) and his M.Arch ARB\/RIBA Part 2 from the Bartlett School of Architecture. He has worked for Bernard Tschumi Architects in New York and has also worked in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n Now, Laurencio works as a Visiting Critic (mainly for the University of Nottingham), and has been an Invited Critic for schools such as the Pratt Institute (New York) and Ravensbourne University London. He also furthers his drawing practice, Drawing (Spatial) Fictions, where his works have won numerous international architectural drawing competitions (DOTY \u201920 and Architecture Drawing Prize \u201920) and have appeared in galleries and printed publications worldwide. He injects his strong belief in the human-centric approach at the heart of the practice\u2019s Scandinavian design principles into each of his projects.<\/p>\n Laurencio is interested in the intangible qualities of space. His spatial fictions explore and reveal the atmosphere, emotion, and poetic nature of place. Each drawing (or series of drawings) is imbued with its own story; a narrative which breathes life into the architecture and arouses the viewer\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n The drawings and accompanying stories are spatial fictions which do not end at the edge of the paper: the viewer\u2019s interpretation and imagination opens up new internal narratives. His drawings are frozen daydreams, waiting for the viewer to dwell within them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Thomas Bossel is characterized by his unique drive, sense of humor and an always positive mindset. He has a “can-do” attitude. Besides working at his own studio, PAX architects, he also works as an artist.<\/p>\n Since his graduation from Aarhus School of \u00a0Architecture in 2011, Thomas worked at Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects for 7 years, where he was promoted as Senior Associate and nominated as Next generation Design Leader.<\/p>\n 2020 has in many ways been a year of challenges around the world, but also a year full of new potential. That has led to the start of PAX architects, a small studio focusing on simple concepts that plays with materiality, light and experiences \u2013 architecture should be experienced with your senses.<\/p>\n Throughout his life art and architecture has played a big role. Drawing was a big force from his early childhood, which became his passion that undoubtedly has brought him into the world of architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Mikkel Frost graduated from The Aarhus School of Architecture in 1996 and then spent five years working for Schmidt Hammer & Lassen. In 2001 he founded the internationally acclaimed studio CEBRA together with Kolja Nielsen og Carsten Primdahl. CEBRA has received a number of prizes including Nykredits Arkitekturpris and The Venice Architectural Biennale\u2019s Golden Lion. He acts as an architectural juror as well as a teacher and lecturer and is particularly well known for his skillful drawing and painting in the architectural genre.<\/p>\n On collage, he says: \u201cIt is a fairly underestimated technique, but a sublime one when you\u2019re composing an image and want to explore several possibilities before the pieces are glued together or sketched.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Kasper Frandsen\u2019s high design skills cultivated over his 18-year career at Schmidt Hammer Lassen is matched by his keen ability to inspire and guide the next generation of architects. Kasper\u2019s definitive style is wo-ven throughout his projects in Scandinavia and across Europe, including the library, healthcare, masterplan, and all-timber office projects he currently oversees.<\/p>\n Kasper co-authored the studio\u2019s strategic creative management pro-cess that informs Schmidt Hammer Lassen\u2019s conceptual work. To that end, he has been instrumental in the competition phase of a variety of projects both domestically and abroad and has lead the development of the firm\u2019s healthcare portfolio.<\/p>\n He injects his strong belief in the human-centric approach at the heart of the practice\u2019s Scandinavian design principles into each of his pro-jects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Architect MAA, Torben Nielsen, has taught and researched at The Aarhus School of Architecture since 1994 and has been rector at the school since 2010.<\/p>\n By establishing modern workshop facilities, he has emphasised students\u2019 hands-on skills and their ability to test their ideas in full scale. He has also strengthened the school\u2019s international orientation through recruitment and cooperation with schools of architecture and universities located in such diverse locations as China, Mexico and Australia.<\/p>\n As an architect, Torben Nielsen has mainly worked with the relationship between architecture and light \u2013 and his work on this theme has been exhibited several times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Find out more about Drawing of the Year 2021\u00a0and submit your work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Related<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> YOU MAY ALSO BE INTERESTED INDrawing of the Year 2021: The Jury<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
