In a scenario in which the ship had never managed to leave the canal, people in need of homes would have brought their lives aboard. While the Egyptian government has been dragging people out of their homes in Warraq and Sinai as development plans move forward, people are forced into poorly planned habitats that pay no real attention to people&#8217;s needs or their economic activities.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are people entitled to the right to shelter, but also to one that guarantees a high life standard with consideration to the way people earn their livings. Urban development plans should target local inhabitants rather than investments that disregard the human factor. Only then, people can be part of a better urban future. The mural portrays people building their own homes on board the container ship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Towards a New Venetian Landscape &#8211; An Inhabited Linear Infrastructure<\/strong><strong>&#8220;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>By Nicolas Coppieters and Gabin Sepulchre, <\/strong><strong>Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><strong>Storied Drawing Theme:\u00a0Sustainable City<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158042 lazy lazy_media_item lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"21060\" height=\"9934\" data-src=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure-scaled.jpeg\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_158053\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158053\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-158053 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2440\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" data-src=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-scaled-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-1024x976.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-768x732.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-1536x1464.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nicolas_Coppieters_Towards-a-new-Venetian-landscape_An-inhabited-linear-infrastructure_detail-315x300.jpg 315w\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-158053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Detail<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Venice being one of the most famous city in the world, we are all aware of its biggest problems: the perpetual flooding and its exposure to mass tourism.

Possessing a flexible form, this allows for the creation of these pods around trees and hills &#8211; existing in harmony with nature, rather than replacing it. The resulting effect are teardrop-like structures, differing in shape as each is hand-built.<\/p>\n<p>In this scene, pollution is the origin of the hazy, grey sky. With plastic and waste reduction having become an everlasting consequence, mycelium is used in this small community of hopeful outliers, being a last ditch effort to slow down the deep-rooted repercussions of the changing climate.<\/p>\n<p>In an inevitable future where the natural lives in the artificial, the increased awareness of the benefits of mycelium, will aid in revitalization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;URBAN NET<\/strong><strong>&#8221; <\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>By Alena Dolzhikova, <\/strong><strong>A4 Studio<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><strong>Storied Drawing Theme:\u00a0Sci Fi Streetscape<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-158045 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2560\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1825px) 100vw, 1825px\" data-src=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Urban-Net-scaled-1.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Urban-Net-scaled-1.jpeg 1825w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Urban-Net-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Urban-Net-730x1024.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Urban-Net-768x1077.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Urban-Net-1095x1536.jpeg 1095w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Urban-Net-1460x2048.jpeg 1460w\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &#039;Segoe UI&#039;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &#039;Helvetica Neue&#039;, sans-serif;\">&#8220;The drawing is a vision of a future city based on the building project design of the A4 Studio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What if the Architecture we build today would be able to proceed developing into entwined bodies, uniting buildings of the past with future forms?

As a city of immigrants with its own cultural insecurity, New York borrowed the architectural style of its diverse ancestral European roots in an attempt to create a historic urban context. This European influence, combined with the advancing construction technology and socioeconomic factors of the time, forged a unique architectural environment. Architectural elements of different origin, whether ornamental or functional, were melded into New York\u2019s building facades; architectural manifestation of \u201cinsecurity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The drawing mimics and exaggerates the architectural evolution of the city by displacing and fragmenting the buildings and architectural elements from their origin and context.

The drawing is rendered in ink pen and colored pencil with a warmth and technique characteristic of, and inspired by, period watercolor renderings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>&#8220;Lost to the City<\/strong><strong>&#8221; <\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>By Alex Hoagland, <\/strong><strong>Boston Architectural College<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><strong>Storied Drawing Theme:\u00a0Awe-Inspiring Atmosphere<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158051 lazy lazy_media_item lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2030\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-src=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-3272.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG-3272.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-300x297.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-1024x1015.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-768x761.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-1536x1523.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-3272-303x300.jpeg 303w\">&#8220;Depicted is a city that has yet to exist, one where passion, freedom and love fill the towers that rise above, an example of the pleasures art can bring, the idea that like people buildings represent individualism. What is depicted in drawing is a world where art, math and science become the forefront of the built environment and humans are able to liberate themselves from the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>In this city scape the understanding of raw emotion and how that correlates too the work we as humans produce and environment we surround ourselves with is the key to understanding the longevity of our own mentality and livelihood. This cityscape represents the separation between ones self and the greater good of the others around, it signifies a liberation of the human conscious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;The Red-Wall Maze<\/strong><strong>&#8221; <\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>By Dong Fu, <\/strong><strong>Zephyr(US) Architects P.C.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><strong>Storied Drawing Theme: Impossible Space<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158049 lazy lazy_media_item lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-src=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1154-scaled-1.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/chosenviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1154-scaled-1.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1154-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1154-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1154-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1154-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\">&#8220;Stair mazes will always be dynamic structures for the human spatial experience. Humans have the instinct to create infinite space through limited materials so that a certain relationship can be formed between limited life and the infinite universe. Stairs are important elements of a maze \u2014 connecting different heights and circulating up and down. The winding pink staircases, the main subject of this drawing, give the building a very large number of possible paths, forming a complex labyrinth.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, I utilized Escher&#8217;s impossible space in such a way that the upper part of the drawing is a space facing up, and the lower part faces down. In this way, at the shared edge of the two spaces, a person needs to make a 90-degree rotation of the body to complete the crossing between the two parts, similar to scenes of the movie &#8220;Inception.\u201d&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Congratulations to our 2022 Storied Drawing Award Winners!
