Success for Bartlett Students at Archisource Drawing of the Year Awards 2024

The Archisource Drawing of the Year Awards spotlight excellence in architectural drawing in all its forms. The awards, now in their fifth year, are international and free to enter, with entries coming from students, academics and practitioners across multiple disciplines.

The awards are judged by a panel of creative practitioners and industry experts. This year's panel included: Narinder Sagoo MBE - Art Director, Senior Partner at Foster + Partners, who also opened this year's Bartlett Summer Show; Sam Hudson - Art Director at Hayes Davidson; Eliza Grosvenor - Head of Programme at London Festival of Architecture; Will Jefferies - Associate at RSHP; Agata Murasko - architect at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris; and Mansel Haynes and Emily Glynn - Co-Founders and architects at Archisource.

Six Bartlett students and alumni were recognised across five of the award categories at this year’s awards, with 2023 Architecture MArch graduate Hei Tung Michael Ng taking the top award in the Digital Drafting category. Commenting on his award, the judges said it showed an “outstanding level of depth in storytelling, information process and function derived through colour. This clarity and structure allow[s] for playful graphics, composition and fun.”
