Unlike standard architectural production, which is generally more focused on reality, City of Beautiful Bodies by Lukas Göbl is an ongoing drawing project dedicated to utopia that presents fantastical cities and landscapes. The current drawings of City of Beautiful Bodies Vol. IV won over the jury of this year’s Architecture Drawing Prize and, out of a large number of submissions from 31 countries, was voted winner in the Hybrid category.

The work will be on display at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London until November 18 and will be presented at the World Architecture Festival in Amsterdam from November 28 to 30, 2018.
