The Neverending Drawing (NED) is a celebration of the V&A and RIBA Architecture gallery which opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum on 18 November 2004. It is housed in an intriguing cabinet of American walnut. You simply open the box, choose a space, and make your mark on the theme of 'the street'. Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza launched the Neverending Drawing on 25 June 2004 by adding the very first image.
