Contest Details
The ambition of the “Re-Draw” competition is to develop a design to “represent” an iconic piece of architecture. Candidates are invited to draft an image, with absolute freedom of scale, technique and level of abstraction.
We encourage creativity, criticality and innovation. The drawing can highlight the functional aspects of the building, showing a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the design. It can focus on aesthetic qualities, experimenting and mastering a drawing technique with hyper-realistic results, or it can be optical distortion, a caricatural interpretation, a distant abstraction of built architecture.
The drawing can reinforce a conventional interpretation of architecture, or explore a new angle, a new point of view, intellectual and/or physical. The Nakagin Capsule Tower can be represented as a whole, a part or a collage of disconnected moments. The entry is completely flexible and adaptable to the interpretation of the participant.
