For the last eight years Aarhus School of Architecture has proudly highlighted drawing as an architectural discipline through the international drawing competition for architecture students, Drawing Of The Year.<\/p>\n

The competition was initiated in 2013 in a collaboration with SHL Architects, Vola, and The Danish Arts Foundation. Every year the number of participants has increased, and so has the quality and the level of the drawings. Internationally acknowledged architects from all over the world have taken part of the jurys and contributed to the high standard and professionalism in the organization of the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

From initial year\u00b4s themes such as Engaging Through Architecture (2013), Transformation (2014), Habitation (2015) and Sustainability (2016) to later year\u00b4s more theoretically and societally engaged themes like Everyday Utopia (2017), Shaping New Realities (2018), Post-Human Metamorphosis (2019) and Hand Me A Drawing (I) (2020) the competition has always addressed relevant architectural issues.<\/p>\n

Drawing is the principal medium of architecture<\/h5>\n

The aim of the competition is to celebrate the architect\u2019s oldest and most important tool, and to continuously explore new tendencies in architecture through architectural drawing. The drawing process leads to new thinking and to development of ideas for the one who draws. Furthermore, it is a medium that disseminates thoughts and ideas to colleagues, clients, and a broader audience. The drawing can communicate, seduce, convince, and initiate a dialogue. That\u00b4s why drawing is so important and why we continue to encourage students all over the world to participate in the annual competition, Drawing Of The Year. As former jury member Jenny Osuldsen from Sn\u00f8hetta says: The one who holds the pen, has the power.<\/p>\n

We value that the competition is run and completed professionally, that the theme is relevant, that the entries are judged professionally, and recognized with decent prices. Further the competition is followed up by an exhibition, and for three years in a row we have documented the 100 best annual drawings in a publication.<\/p>\n

Collage \u2013 Hand Me a Drawing (II)<\/h5>\n

This year\u00b4s theme is Collage, Hand Me a Drawing (II). After some years focusing on new drawing technologies, digital drawing and mixed media, this year\u00b4s competition treasures handmade entries and specifically collage techniques, celebrating the art and skill of a less traditional method, pushing boundaries for representation.<\/p>\n

Sketches\u00a0and\u00a0drawings\u00a0are the bones of any\u00a0architectural design, the DNA of architecture, expressing and combining the interaction between the architect\u2019s mind, eyes and hands. Drawing has always been a practice that differentiated architecture and construction from other disciplines, and great architects have made it an artistic discipline, as well. Every architect has his\/her own style, that cannot be taught or copied, only developed and raffined through practice. In the spirit of many great architects of the past, from Palladio and John Soane, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, to contemporary architects like Ishigami, Kazuyo Sejima, Jeanne Gang, Tatiana Bilbao, and Eva Prats it\u2019s has evolved into a platform of reflection and exploration of how artistic drawing continues to advance the art of architecture today.<\/p>\n

This year we twist the drawing and turn towards collage, which is a mix of media, including drawing, paper, photo, or fabric.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
