The Best Drawings of 2018

With the mission to provide with tools and inspiration to architects all around the world, ArchDaily’s curators are constantly searching for new projects, ideas and new ways of expressions. For the past three years, ArchDaily showcases the best of our year discoveries and in this opportunity we want to share the best architecture drawings published during this year.

Which is the rol of contemporary drawing in architecture? We approach the definition of drawing as design itself. Drawings are used to explain principals, to deliver ideas, to construct new architecture, to document creative processes.

Below you will see the selection of drawings arranged under six categories: Context, Architectural Drawings, Sketches & Hand-drawn, Digital Collages, Conceptual Drawings & Diagrams and Animated Gifs. Each chosen drawing strengthens the proposed construction or enhances the built work.

We also invite you to review past years collections here or other drawing-related posts selected by our editors in the following link.
