I am an architectural designer who graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture and a Philosophy minor from Syracuse University School of Architecture in 2019. My undergraduate thesis sought to take a critical stance on the future development of urban form in my home state of New Jersey, and the necessity of the redistribution of people and resources in a radical manner to remedy the ills of suburban sprawl. The topic sprouts from my interest in urban planning and critical theory, as well as philosophy and dystopian fiction. This interest was first developed while working on an urban renewal proposal sited in Medellin, and has since been an integral part of my research and outlook on architecture and its role. I wish to continue to investigate architecture at the urban" scale as well as new building typologies that reinterpret how program functions in a range of contextual densities. I believe architecture can begin to remediate the detrimental social, economic and environmental effects being brought on by our society, and want to continue to work in a critical capacity toward possible solutions.
