Re-draw.05: Nakagin Capsule Tower / Competition

Save this picture!

🔖 One building, any kind of drawing, a single illustration!

The RE-DRAW Competition is back! In it’s fifth edition the building you will have to digest to create a completly new illustration is The Nakagin Capsule Tower, a metabolism building icon built in the 70’s by Kisho Kurokawa. How would you represent this iconic building?

[SUMMARY] 🤖
The aim of the “Re-Draw” competition is to develop one drawing to ‘represent’ an iconic architecture piece. The participants are asked to draft one image, with absolute freedom of scale, technique and level of abstraction.
We encourage creativity, criticality and innovation. The drawing can highlight functional aspects of the building, showing a deep understanding of one or more design aspects. It can focus on the aesthetic qualities, experimenting and mastering a drawing technique with hyper-realistic outcomes, or it can be an optical deformation, a caricatural interpretation, a distant abstraction of the built architecture.
The drawing can strengthen 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 portrayed as a whole, a part, or a collage of disconnected moments. The entry is completely flexible and adaptable to the participant’s interpretation.

[ELIGIBILITY] 🚀
on Architecture Competitions are open to all human beings, from every age and cultural background, working in groups or individually. The registration fee is paid per team, regardless of how many members form it. Personal information of all the team members can be uploaded during the submission procedure of the final drawing.
