[EN] Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927) has written and also has inspired so many texts on architecture. His bibliography is as astonishing as his professional career. A member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, since 1987, and of the Spanish Royal Academy since 2005, the numerous awards in recognition of the virtuosity of his works culminated in the Gold Medal for Architecture from the Governing Board of the College of Architects of Spain, in 2002, and the National Prize for Architecture, in 2003. He is one of a few architects who has very zealously cultivated drawing in his design projects, aware of its instrumental role in the transmission of the intrinsic values of architecture. Some of his sketches, plants and perspectives have been widely reproduced and they are
part of the collective imaginary of the representation of modern architecture in Spain. In this interview he shows us another facet of his passion for drawing; the collection of sketchbooks that fill the shelves of his studio.

[ES] Antonio Fernández Alba (Salamanca 1927) ha escrito e inspirado numerosos textos sobre el dibujo y la arquitectura. Su bibliografía es abrumadora como toda su trayectoria profesional. Académico numerario de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando desde 1987 y de la Real Academia Española desde 2005, los numerosos reconocimientos al magisterio de su obra culminan con la concesión de la Medalla de Oro de la Arquitectura del Consejo Superior de los Colegios de Arquitectos de España en 2002 y el Premio Nacional de Arquitectura en 2003. Es uno de los arquitectos que más celosamente ha cultivado el dibujo en sus proyectos, consciente de su valor instrumental en la transmisión de los valores intrínsecos de la arquitectura. Algunos de sus croquis, plantas y perspectivas han sido profusamente reproducidos y forman parte del imaginario colectivo de la representación de la arquitectura moderna en España. En esta entrevista nos muestra además otra faceta de su pasión por el dibujo; la colección de cuadernos viajes y recuerdos que completan las estanterías de su estudio.
