A course by Fran Mateos

Teacher Plus
Architect

Despite specializing in landscapes, as soon as he finished his degree Fran Mateos set his sights on architectural graphic illustration driven by the idea of learning from the projects around him that were underway at the time. He started by collaborating with studios like Poliedro, Idearch, Manu-facturas, and Foster and Partners until he decided to take a break and open his own academy: La Leonera.

After a year of teaching classes, Fran was given the opportunity to work with the studio Nieto Sobejano and he quickly found himself drawn back into the world of architectural visualization. With the knowledge and experience he gained while there, he formed a team and founded Drama, his own architectural communication agency which has collaborated with larger studios in Spain and Europe including Arquitectos Ayala, Vázquez Consuegra, and Unstudio.
