Looking at the contemporary drawings by The Architecture Drawing Prize entrants, Erin notes how “nature has stayed at the forefront of architectural design”. The works by Weicheng Ye, William du Toit and Giorgos Christophi resonate with her as they show how a group of entrants who do not know each other are all engaged with interpreting the climate and seeing this in a poetic way.
As part of the exhibition, Erin has dedicated the Museum’s Foyle Space to a short audio-visual projection of virtual galleries designed by Make. These contain a digital five-year retrospective of The Architecture Drawing Prize. “The projection creates an enforced break for exhibition visitors, slowing them down and immersing them in a different world. It introduces the Prize and puts it in a larger context for visitors.”

In addition to the projection, the Museum has organised tours of the exhibition led by artists to encourage further ways of interpreting the drawings on display.
“These have ranged from focusing on the meaning of the drawings to the outside world, to what each work potentially meant to the person who made it.”
It would be interesting to know what Soane would have made of The Architecture Drawing Prize exhibitions. Erin sheds light on this:
“Soane kept his own drawings, and his drawings collection was wide-ranging, from illuminated manuscripts, to Renaissance-era drawings to drawings by contemporaries.”
It is this engagement with the drawings of other architects that suggests that Soane would, indeed, be very at home looking around The Architecture Drawing Prize exhibition.
The Architecture Drawing Prize exhibition is on display at the museum until Monday, 8 May.
