produced within carolina vaccaro’s design studio at temple university rome and underpinned by a growing interest in landscape urbanism, this project set about staging an urban park composed as a network of ramping/vertical circulation paths, gathering nodes and retaining wall excavations in order to stitch together the loosening urban fabric between the city and its river. this sketch portrays one such confluence of circulation paths, transverse excavated tunnels and a remembrance node, knotted at the site of a ruined bridge as depicted by the beige portion of the structure.

before joining civitas architects as an architectural intern, i was contracted to redesign the firms’ website. once the schematic wireframe had been selected, i worked independently to consolidate and organize 23 projects onto the server where the portfolio would be stored. guided by web standards and my aesthic demands, a rigorous selection process helped to further organize the portfolio pieces. our design goals were to produce an elegant and simple navigation of the firm’s portfolio while striving for optimal loading performance online.
