2020 AIA Northern Virginia Architecture Month
Unfortunately, all in-person Architecture Month events were cancelled in keeping with CDC recommendations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you to all the artists who submitted sketches to our competition, 70 sketches in all!Thank you also to our jurors Matthew Harwood and McCain McMurray, both artists at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria.
Matt and McCain selected four outstanding sketches as Jurors’ Favorites, commenting that each one used the medium and artistic style to capture a quality of the place depicted in a way that allowed them to feel as if they were there as the sketches were being made. Both remarked on how pleased they were to see how much architects clearly value drawing as a way to see and understand places and buildings.
