– Nuno Melo Sousa

Following our recent series with fala we decided to approach some other practices who have themselves developed their design process through particular drawing ‘types’, challenging our expectation of the usage and forms traditionally associated with drawing in an architecture studio. We are very grateful to fala for introducing us to Nuno Melo Sousa and his drawing practice.

In the following series, thought, drawing, text, and construction follow the same uninterrupted process—a need, an obsession, an uncensored rhythm running its course.
