Tapestry Design Prize for Architects

A sense of place.

Established in 2015 by the Australian Tapestry Workshop, the biennial Tapestry Design Prize for Architects attracts entrants from all over the world.

Each year the competition brief suggests an imagined or realised location for architects to provide hypothetical tapestries that respond the specifics of the site. In 2018 David Walsh’s brief suggests Étienne-Louis Boullée’s Cenotaph for Isaac Newton, a structure impossible to build when conceived.
