ASPECTS OF URBAN FORM Through this class we analyzed the aspects of cities, ranging from the form they assume to the systems that go into it. We were then asked to create an intervention based on this analysis and repurpose it, against our original intentions. Additionally we looked into the theory of different urban forms on each other and how they react to each other

SIENA STUDIO This class was an attempt to recreate the Monte dei Paschi Competition. Dispersed into teams we attempted to use the idea of collage to push forward a concept that would be developed and proven by research. In my team, we discussed the importance of the reemergance of old Siena, and responded to Sechi’s discussion of the importance of the countryside to the city of Siena
