Drawing on History: Infill Design Competition
Read the official Drawing On History Report here!
Historic Richmond, in partnership with The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design, hosted a juried architectural design competition – Drawing on History: Infill Design Competition – to develop a design catalog of original, creative designs for infill construction in the City of Richmond’s Old and Historic Districts. Our goal was to cultivate a dialogue about the design process for new construction within the fabric of Richmond’s historic neighborhoods with consideration given to sustainability, affordability, and maintaining each neighborhood’s own unique sense of place.
