Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest - 2012

Winner, Registered Architect - Geoff Parker, Architect, 308 Design Collaborative, Oklahoma City, OK

Geoff Parker, 38, an Oklahoma City native who recently joined 308 Design Collaborative, teaches first- and second-year studio art courses to undergraduates at the University of Oklahoma, where he received his B.Arch. and M.Arch. Parker spent about 10 minutes on his sketch, which he says is a quick doodle of an imaginary cityscape. “I was playing around with perspective and trying to generate some depth,” he says. The architect drew the sketch using a fountain pen and colored pencils and explains, “I was intentionally trying to see how fast and loose I could draw it and still make it read.” With a father who is also an architect, Parker says he’s known from childhood that architecture was his calling.

Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest - 2012

Winner, Non-Registered Architect - Brian Droste, Intern Architect, Wight & Company, Marina City, Chicago/Bertrand Goldberg

The winning sketch by a nonprofessional was drawn by Brian Droste, 25, an intern at the firm Wight & Company. While enrolled in the five-year architecture program at Notre Dame, Droste studied in Rome, where a professor introduced him to light-and-shadow drawing studies, the inspiration for his sketch. Droste says he has always been fascinated by the work of architect Bertrand Goldberg, and his Marina City (1964) in particular, because of the way light bounces across the buildings, emphasizing petal-like forms. Droste completed his sketch in about 10 minutes using a fountain pen. “The pen bleeds so quickly—it makes you go so much faster,“ he says. “You have to commit and not go back, almost like a watercolor.”
