Nuno Fontarra is Partner at Mecanoo , where he has worked as an architect since 2002. Sketching by hand has always been the most powerful tool for architects. We use sketches not only as a fast way to communicate ideas with others but also as a dialogue with ourselves. Just like hand sketching, it’s become a dialogue.

It dates from my early childhood in Barnsley.

We were just doing concept design after concept design while Zimbabwe's economy declined in the early 2000s. We had given up on A1 sheets for concept work. d One of the books I was able to rescue from my house in Zimbabwe was a rather splendid landscape format hardback with watercolour sketches by Alex Jack.

Not only each project, but the very practice itself as set up by Andrew Maynard in 2002. Even though Austin and Maynard bring strong values and ideas to the table, they are careful to avoid imposing preconceived concepts on the design. And once the sketches have begun, Austin adds, “we don’t get too attached to any of the ideas.”.
