Hong Kong, 15 December 2013 ————– Founder and Managing Director of Sepia Design Consultants Limited, Thomas Schmidt, AIA, LEED AP, participated in AIA Hong Kong’s “Big Draw” — an event aimed at coaching underprivileged teens to develop their drawing skills and sense of architectural appreciation.
Joined by a dozen other AIA Hong Kong members at Hong Kong’s Central Waterfront, the group was forced to seek refuge from torrential rains in the nearby Hong Kong Maritime Museum. Nevertheless, the in-situ sketching of Hong Kong’s skyline continued as AIA Hong Kong members coached enthusiastic teens on sketching techniques, estimation of proportions in buildings and composition.
