The Brian Shawcroft Drawing Competition, now in its 31st year, remains a rare and deliberate celebration of hand drawing as a core architectural skill. This year, four students received prizes for submissions evaluated across three categories: the design process, documentation and analysis, and presentation. The breadth of those categories reflects the competition&#8217;s central belief that hand drawing is not a single technique but a spectrum of thinking made visible.<\/span><span class=\"arrow-indicator\"><svg class=\"wolficon wolficon-arrow-right-light\" role=\"img\"  aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<use xlink:href=\"#wolficon-arrow-right-light\">\n\t\t<\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n\t      \t    \n          <\/div>\n\n  <\/a>\n<a class=\"ncst-content-card \" href=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/2026\/04\/01\/architecture-students-named-to-metropolis-future100\/\">\n  \n          <div class=\"content-card__image-container\">\n        <div class=\"content-card__image-background\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\"\n            class=\"content-card__image wp-image-29162\"\n            alt=\"Peak on the Mount, Raleigh, NC by Cameron Johnson\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/peak-on-mount-web-cameron-johnson.jpg\"\n            style=\"aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; \"\n          \/>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"content-card__text-container\">\n              <p class=\"content-card__meta\">\n                      <span class=\"content-card__date\">April 01, 2026<\/span>\n                            <\/p>\n      \n                        <h3 class=\"content-card__headline\">Architecture Students Named to Metropolis Future100<\/h3>\n              \n\n              \n\t      \t        <p class=\"content-card__teaser\"><span class=\"text\">College of Design Students Lira Gomes and Cameron Johnson have been selected for the prestigious Metropolis Future100 program, which recognizes outstanding students for their contributions to architecture.
