ArchDaily continues a seven-year-long tradition of celebrating the best architecture drawings of the year. From painting to collages to blueprints, the 2021 edition highlights a carefully-curated collection of architectural drawings and visualizations with a wide variety of techniques and representations.
The list has been assembled by members of ArchDaily's Content Team who have been privileged to have a front-row seat as readers, architects, and designers across the world share their finest work with us. The selected drawings have become not only a valuable tool for the dissemination of architectural inspiration and knowledge but also a demonstration of the symbiotic relationship between perceived contrasts: old craft and new technologies, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, narrative and analytical, fictional and practical.
The 75 drawings, collages, illustrations, sketches, conceptual designs, diagrams, and axonometric have been curated and categorized below for your enjoyment, analysis, and inspiration.
