"Faculty Meeting #12"
Architect Eric J. Jenkins challenges students in his course on freehand analytical sketching to increase their understanding of buildings by drawing them. “How do you inform your imagination?” he asks. “How do you learn from the things around you?” Often, Jenkins finds, the answer comes by putting pen to paper. “I compare architecture to studying music or literature,” he says. “When musicians listen to a song, or when writers read a book, they are attuned to the rhythm and cadence of the words. You can learn from others’ work by deeply observing it.” In his winning sketch, he imagines a building overgrown by technological equipment, bursting out of a square frame. Literalizing the cliché, he says, “I like to work outside of the box.”

"Twilight Epiphany"
In 2014, as Maksim Koloskov recovered from a liver transplant, he would take walks around the campus of Rice University, often ending up at James Turrell’s Twilight Epiphany. “The idea of the ‘skyspace’ is so strong,” he says. “A thin line hovering over the big hill. And in the fog, it has a really mystic quality.” Recently, the designer returned to quickly sketch the structure—a practice that has become part of his daily routine. “I don’t care how it looks,” he says. “I just sketch for myself. It’s so freeing.” Working in ink and sometimes with a marker, he finds napkins the ideal canvas for this type of drawing. “They don’t let you overwork,” he says. “Several strokes and that’s it. They force you to think fast and draw fast.”
