Architizer is how architects search for, evaluate and share building-products across teams. Founded in 2009, our mission is to empower architects with information to build better buildings, better cities and a better world.
Description
Thanks to social media, more people than ever now consume architecture every day through their feeds. However, their attention is fleeting — with millions of architectural ideas flowing across the web, each designer has just a brief moment to make an impact. This means one image or drawing needs to possess the power to tell a whole story on its own, in seconds. For any designer, producing a viral drawing might just kickstart their career.
So, the One Drawing Challenge is laid down: Can you create a single drawing that tells the story behind a complex piece of architecture?
Jury
Chris PRECHT
Together with his wife Fei, Chris runs studio "Precht" in the mountains of Salzburg, working on worldwide projects including ecological High-rises, Farmscrapers and Bamboo-buildings. Chris is a leading voice in the design of a more ecological future. “Architecture is no longer defined by form, styles or eras. The problems that our generation needs to solve are larger than that. For us, climate change is not a theory, but a reality. As architects, we need to find solutions that contribute to the health of our civilisation and of our planet.”
