University of Oregon Summer Abroad, Rome, IT, BArch, Summer Abroad Design Studio

Summer Abroad to study and interpret Roman and Italian Architecture for our own knowledge and explorations in the field. In a group I designed a modern structure in the middle of the historic city that posed as a central gathering for the community as well as a museum for the famous writer Dante Alighieri; who wrote "The Divine Comedy." We explored the unique aqueduct system and how to use to our advantage two of the main systems converging on our site. Also, there was a lot of research and interpretation on how to interweave our current timeline with the Roman timeline of centuries ago in our structure.
