SKETCH

SKETCH is an energetic and multidisciplinary design studio operating in the fields of architecture and design. Its name refers to the rough drawing that closes in on the core ideas of a project. This idea, generated after understanding all the factors of an assignment, becomes their guiding concept. Within the design realm, they are recognized by an honest, uncomplicated vision of design theory, treating space as a dynamic, multipurpose, and flexible entity that enhances the landscape's virtues and the local culture. The project's performance drives them through the user's experience. They are true believers that design should be intelligent and fun. The studio's team is led by Johann Wolfschoon, who founded the practice in Panama City, Panama in 2006. Since then, it has become a collaborative think-tank composed of designers with extensive cultural and educational backgrounds, allowing them to reevaluate craft and often forgotten solutions with great value and reaffirm or rebuke conventions with conviction through a profound understanding of all the related aspects. Their architects, designers, collaborators, and makers are skillful in a wide range of fields, from research to art history to building technologies.
