?? SKETCHING BATTLE

Hey there, design enthusiasts!

Today we are announcing?the launch of a new?competition, SKETCHING BATTLE: ARCHITECTURE & MOVEMENT, sponsored by Rhodia.

Registration is FREE, and all you need is your sketch, a Rhodia product, and your creative ideas.?

This is your opportunity to combine the timeless art of hand-sketching with the dynamic energy of architecture in motion. Whether you're inspired by the flow of people through space, the dance of light and shadow, or the movement of structures over time, this competition invites you to express the relationship between architecture and movement through a single, hand-drawn sketch.

WHY ARCHITECTURE & MOVEMENT?

Architecture has always been more than static buildings - it’s about the interaction between space and the elements that move through it. Think about how a building transforms with the sun’s movement, how people flow through spaces, or even how a structure evolves over time. How can your hand-drawn sketch capture this dynamic relationship? This competition challenges you to return to the basics - pen and paper - while pushing the boundaries of what a sketch can convey.

1. Capture the Dance of Light and ShadowThink about how light changes the way a building looks throughout the day. A morning sunrise might cast long, dramatic shadows, while the midday sun reveals the building’s intricate details. How can you capture this interaction between light and structure in your sketch?

2. The Flow of People and MovementArchitecture isn’t just static - it’s a stage for human life. How do people move through the spaces you design? Are they rushing through a bustling city plaza or pausing to admire an iconic structure? Consider how you can sketch not just the building, but the people who interact with it.

1. DRAWING AND REALITY
