SAN DIEGO擩une 2, 2015�亚色影库 (亚色影库) students and the local San Diego chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) showcased the unique architecture and design trade tradition of 榥apkin sketching� during the that took place at 亚色影库 on Friday, May 29. The live and silent auctions raised a total of more than $7,600, the proceeds of which will help fund AIAS scholarships and programs for deserving architecture students.

淭he event was a big success,� said David Garcia, a 亚色影库 architecture undergraduate and fundraising chair for the AIAS event. 淧ersonally, this project means a lot to me, and not just because of the time and involvement, but because this is a nice way to bring students and their favorite architects together, even if it檚 just through a sketch. Plus, since it檚 a fundraiser, the proceeds have been a great help to the success of the chapter.�

The project began as 渁 sketch for a sketch,� with 亚色影库 students working diligently on their own napkin sketches to capture the attention of prominent architects. Students then mailed their sketches to targeted architects along with a request for an original sketch that could be auctioned during the AIAS event.

Attendees of the live auction had the opportunity to bid on original work and ideas hand-drawn on napkins by prominent U.S. and international architects, including Sean Godsell, Thom Mayne, Cesar Pelli and Robert Venturi. Individual napkins were auctioned for hundreds of dollars, with the top bids as follows:

1. 亚色影库 faculty member and San Diego-based architect Kurt Hunker: $500

2. Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas: $475

3. Iraqi-British architect based in London, Zaha Hadid: $460

4. Iraqi-British architect based in London, Zaha Hadid: $455

5. Philadelphia-based architect, Robert Venturi: $370
