The exhibition brings together these high-impact works, displayed across our first-floor galleries, allowing visitors to see and be inspired by the breadth of contemporary architectural drawing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This exhibition follows the World Architecture Festival in Miami, which showcased the winners in November 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The full list of winners (in alphabetical order):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna Pang<\/strong> \u2013 The Tales of Liminality<br \/><strong>CJ Lim<\/strong> \u2013 Gossips: Phantoms of Deconstructivism and Postmodernism<br \/><strong>Danilo Zamboni <\/strong>\u2013 S\u00e3o Paulo State Art Gallery<br \/><strong>Erhang Wang<\/strong> \u2013 The Lost Boys: It\u2019s OK to Cry \u2013 Composite Drawing (Plan, Section, Perspective, and Axonometric)<br \/><strong>Holly McLean<\/strong> \u2013 Hackney Power Plant Sectional Isometric<br \/><strong>Inside Outside<\/strong> \u2013 Living Soil<br \/><strong>Jason Wang<\/strong> \u2013 Dockyard X<br \/><strong>Marie-Louise Raue<\/strong> \u2013 Two views<br \/><strong>Smout Allen<\/strong> \u2013 Super-Mega-Ruralistic<br \/><strong>Oscar Ssu Kuo Lo<\/strong> \u2013 Architecture in Translation<br \/><strong>Sanjidah Chowdhury<\/strong> \u2013 Shilpogram: A Crafter\u2019s Village<br \/><strong>Tom Wood<\/strong> \u2013 A Working Monument<br \/><strong>Xinyi Liu and Christine Wacta<\/strong> \u2013 Spatialization and Memory Mapping: an Urban Redesign through the Lens of Savannah Train Station<br \/><strong>Yichen Li <\/strong>\u2013 Himalayas Frontline: A Waterscape against Climate Change<br \/><strong>Yixuan Liu and Yilin Zhang<\/strong> \u2013 Almost Forgotten<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>The Architecture Drawing Prize Exhibition<\/strong>, 28th January \u2013 15th February 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soane.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The 2025 sponsor is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irisceramicagroup.com\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Iris Ceramica Group <\/a>with<a href=\"http:\/\/ArchDaily\" rel=\"nofollow\"> ArchDaily <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dezeen <\/a>as media partners.<\/p>\n<p>CategoriesTagsAuthor <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51a5f4f70d4a7d922b41813aec70fa836549efb4017a2b83daaeb0139e68ad2a.png\"  class=\"lazyload avatar avatar-60 photo\" height=\"60\" width=\"60\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fadmagazine.com\/author\/mark\/\" title=\"Posts by Mark Westall\" rel=\"author nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Westall<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mark Westall is the Founder and Editor of FAD magazine &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Living Soil by Inside Outside, 2025.
