Siena Studio This Class was an attempt to recreate the Monte Dei Paschi Competition. Dispersed into teams we attempted to use the idea of collage to push forward a concept that would be developed and proven by research. In my team, we discussed the importance of the reemergance of old Siena, and responded to Sechi’s discussion of the importance of the countryside to the city of Siena
