Dante Cosentino

A discipline in design, especially one such as architecture, is integral to today's ever-changing socio-political landscapes as a tool for analyzing information, speculating trends, visualizing potential futures, and producing possibilities on how to move forward. In this context, architecture serves its traditional role as a mechanism to design buildings but also as a instrument to create other design solutions. I see urban centers as the defining framework for progressive reforms of civilization’s future. Over the past several years I immersed myself in diagramming and mapping methodologies used to analyze and represent urban processes and organizations. As a result I have made assessments of cities through multiple angles to understand how different urban aspects inform design and architectural landscapes. In addition I have cultivated a strong skill set to design socially and environmentally sustainable architectures with a strong emphasis on data driven research and simulations.
