Professor Fonseca was a brief but memorable highlight for me in my study of architecture. I have thought of his guidance and insight many times since first meeting him. He had a sparkle in his eye and joy for architecture and the mystery of life that has stayed with me. I am very saddened to learn of his passing. My very deep and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. - Posted by: Marta (architecture student) on: Mar 03, 2019
