Description

We believe that sketching by hand is the best way to observe and relate to our environments and top architects use ink and paper daily.

In honor of Mike Welton's new book, Drawing from Practice: Architects and the Meaning of Freehand, and the six North Carolina architects featured, we are hosting a book release party and signing at the Center for Architecture and Design on Tuesday, May 19th.

Mike Welton will be joined by architects Ellen Cassilly, Chad Everhart, Phil Freelon, Matt Griffith, Frank Harmon, Erin Sterling Lewis. The author and architects will discuss how sketching influences their practice, display sketches, and host a short Q&A. Signed copies of Drawing from Practice will be available for purchase.

When: Tuesday, May 19th
Where: AIANC Center for Architecture and Design. Directions + parking.
Cost: $0
Get your tickets here.
Signed copies of the books will be available for pre-order. Cash and credit card will be accepted.

ABOUT DRAWING FROM PRACTICE:
Drawing from Practice explores and illuminates the ways that 26 diverse and reputable architects use freehand drawing to shape our built environment. Author J. Michael Welton traces the tactile sketch, from initial parti to finished product, through words, images, and photographs that reveal the creative process in action.

The book features drawings and architecture from every generation practicing today, including Aidlin Darling Design, Alberto Alfonso, Deborah Berke, Marlon Blackwell, Peter Bohlin, Warren Byrd, Ellen Cassilly, Jim Cutler, Chad Everhart, Formwork, Phil Freelon, Michael Graves, Frank Harmon, Eric Howeler and Meejin Yoon, Leon Krier, Tom Kundig, Daniel Libeskind, Brian McKay Lyons, Richard Meier, Bill Pedersen, Suchi Reddy, Witold Rybczynski, in situ studio, Laurinda Spear, Stanley Tigerman, and Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.
