Design Through Drawing

The jury notedMelanie Knuwer is the winner of Design Through Drawing, recognising a practice in which sketching remains an active instrument of thought. At concrete architectural associates, her interior architecture brings this instinct into dialogue with the sculptural conviction she admires in Oskar Niemeyer, and with the enduring warmth of wood. Her preference for dark blue suggests an equal confidence in restraint, proof that a decisive line need not be a loud one.
