Best Architectural Project Created with Hand-Drawn Graphics

About the project (provided by the applicant)
Hand-drawn architectural graphics with a sketch design of a temple complex in the traditions of the Northwestern school. In the center of the sheet is a perspective view with a bell tower; on the sides are the western and northern façades. In the upper corners are details: carved capitals, a fence fragment, a roof junction, and a decorative rosette. Human silhouettes are added for scale.
The main volume is a massive quadrangle on a high rubble-stone plinth with small windows, a hipped roof, and a dome. On the sides are chapels with triangular pediments, and the bell tower is placed in a separate volume with arched openings for the bells.
The technique combines graphite pencil and ink for precise linear outlines with watercolor glazing in ochre-brick and gray tones, complemented by white highlights.
