Paris!

We were lucky to have the Wonderful Stanley! for a week in Paris. He took us around for 7 Full days of Gorgeous Paris. Where we saw some Modern buildings, which included Housing, Business, and Schools. It was a nice change from the constant Roman ruins that were used. Also we were able to see the Differences in European architecture compared to the U.S. standards where we have little freedom to design.

Project Numero Due!

Project Number two was a collaborative effort between two students to re-establish a major space in Trastevere. We were given about 2-3 weeks to work on this project and it was more or less a quick design charette of a project. This was the first time we were doing a project or design at this scale! we struggled with one part of the design, which was the main urban space of our area.
