In the midst of another New England winter, we still see more light from our computer screens than we do from the sun. Usually around this time of year, our office does something to break that routine, something essential to how we work at ART: we draw. Not the type of hardline drafting (plans, sections, elevations) needed to describe and construct buildings, but the type of drawing that brought many of us to architecture in the first place—sketching and painting. We grab a pad of paper and gather for ART Academy, a firm tradition.
