RIBA Eye Line Competition entries due Monday 13 June

drawing by Emma Gibb, 2nd Prize winner 2013

Hugh Pearman, editor of RIBA Journal writes:

"It's that pleasurable time of year when we invite entries for our annual architectural drawing competion, Eye Line. All 2D media and combinations of media are allowed (not film). Entries are now coming in from all over the world - we have a month to go before deadline on June 13.

This is an award which distinguishes the drawing skills from the project itself, and which is now in its fourth year. Students, teachers and practitioners alike may all enter, in individuals or groups. It is free of charge and easy to enter electronically.

In previous years we have had strong entries from the likes of Yale, Harvard, RMIT, TU Delft and of course many British schools such as the Westminster, RCA and AA and Greenwich, as well as from practising architects. It would be great to see a strong entry from Westminster and its friends again this year. Winners and commendations are published in August's RIBA Journal.

So if this appeals, do spread the word. All details plus link to downloadable entry form here: https://www.ribaj.com/buildings/eye-line-the-time-to-enter-is-now "

 

University of Westminster BAIA students at Parsons The New School for Parallel Cities 1

Parallel Cities 1 explored the process of craft techniques combining digital and analogue media with film and physical models to uncover relationships between bodies, networks, and spaces in New York City.

The workshop brought together 8 graduate and undergraduate students from Parsons’ Temporary Environments course and 8 second year students from the University of Westminster’s BA (Hons) Interior Architecture Course. The students received training in Rhino and Grasshopper, in addition to digital fabrication processes focused on networked workflows. Individually, they developed their own site study of a portion of Long Island City, while contributing to the overall workshop goals of the design and fabrication of a larger group installation.
