Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest - 2011

Winner, Registered Architect - Zeljko Toncic, AIA, Archiect, Rizvi Architects, Boston, MA

Napkin Sketch Title: Antonio Gaudi's Casa Milà

The prize for the best-in-show cocktail napkin sketch by a professional goes to Zeljko Toncic for his drawing of Antonio Gaudi’s Casa Milà, in Barcelona. The jury found it to be quirkily evocative of the 1910 landmark. Toncic, who has practiced for 33 years, says he has sketched the building before but this was the first time he dealt with the difficult medium of the cocktail napkin. “The paper is so soft and absorbs ink readily that maintaining control is tricky,” he notes. “I was trying to capture the essence of the structure without going into extreme detail.”

Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest - 2011

Winner, Non-Registered Architect - Amanda D. Prosser, M. Arch Graduate, 2010, Kansas State University, Topeka, KS

Napkin Sketch Title: Notre Dame du Haut

The winning cocktail napkin sketch by a nonprofessional was drawn by Amanda Prosser, who received her M.Arch. from Kansas State University. With jobs in architecture so scarce, she currently works for a life insurance firm. The jury found Prosser’s sketch of Notre Dame du Haut, Le Corbusier’s famous chapel at Ronchamp, France (1954), to exhibit a startling economy and elegance of line. When Prosser visited Ronchamp as a student, she drew the building in a sketchbook with her eyes closed. “Back in Topeka, I decided to see if I could do it on a cocktail napkin with an extra-fine black ballpoint pen,” she says. “I did it again without opening my eyes.”

Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest 2011 Hors de Concur

Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest - 2011

Hors de Concur - Scott Grove, Creative Director, Smith + Associates, Rochester, NY

Contestants were asked to submit sketches on a 5-inch-square cocktail napkin, a stipulation that many blithely ignored. But Record’s jury stuck by the rules—with one exception: a tiny, delicate model of a church by Scott Grove (an artist) in which the cocktail napkin was made to act like balsa wood. Record created an “hors de concour” (out of the running) award. We couldn’t resist it.
