Piazza Piscaia
Study abroad
2017
Cortona Italy landscape architecture studio Piazza re-designs created to scale without the use of any computer programs. These hand renderings of re-designed piazzas study public spaces and their uses, a major focus over the summer landscape architecture studio in Cortona, Italy. Public spaces are the backbone of cities and must be beautiful, versatile and 21 designed at a human scale.

“Modern demands met through classical design”
This Italian piazza was observed over a multi day span to determine what user’s needs were and how to design for them. Serving as the gateway to the medieval city, piazza Garibaldi welcomes people and the site of community events. This design orients around a breathtaking view enjoyed by tourists, students and locals alike. Pockets of space and clear walkways allow these groups of people to coexist without friction. 23
