EXP is the new champion of AIA Chicago’s annual Guess-a-Sketch, an event that brings architecture, design and construction professionals together to network and raise money for AIA Chicago Foundation’s initiatives. EXP participated in this event since its first year in 2022 and we were proud to serve as a 2025 MVP sponsor.
Ten employees attended the event, with four team members participating in the competition and six employees cheering the team on as spectators. The competition this year was between eight teams from Chicago architecture, design and construction firms. Each round, two teams competed against each other until only one team remained. Teams earned points by watching two renowned Chicago architects sketch a noteworthy structure over a two-minute period and guessing the name of the structure before the opposing team.
This year, the event raised over $2,300. “This is an important event in the Chicago architecture community. It brings together competing firms in a unique way to connect with AEC industry professionals, have fun and refine our skills,” said EXP’s Vice President of Federal Design Strategy Bob Theel, who is also the Chair of AIA Chicago’s Host Committee.
Congratulations to all of our team members who participated.
