2019 Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest Winners and Runners Up
2019 Cocktail Napkin Sketch Contest: Winner, Registered Architect
Jeongin Kim, Laguarda Low Architects, New York
"View of the World from an Architect in New York"
Sketching by hand is an essential part of the creative process for Jeongin Kim, a senior associate with Laguarda.Low Architects. “It lets my stream of consciousness flow, and allows me to observe my work and thoughts at the same time,” he says. One of the first projects of Kim’s professional career was a skyscraper in New York. Now, after 14 years in practice, he still finds inspiration in busy urban centers. “Every city gives its own genuine lecture, and New York might be one of the best lecturers in the world. That’s probably why architects enjoy this delirious place.”

Jordan Lutren, Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects, Chicago
"Labyrinth"
“I often find inspiration not as a starting point of a design challenge but through the process of designing itself,” says Jordan Lutren, an architectural designer with Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects. “Through research, making, and a lot of iterating, I get excited about how different aspects of a project can come together.” Throughout his five years in practice, he has always incorporated physical drawing into his workflow—“not just as a first step to conceptualize a design, but as a discipline integrated through the entire design process.”
