Course or Curriculum Development
ARCH 443 Visual Communication for Architects
This course is designed to heighten the student’s ability to understand the built architectural and landscape
environment through observation, diagramming, drawing and analysis. Observation and analysis will: 1)
primarily focus on visiting, observing, documenting, and analyzing buildings and places in the region; 2)
secondarily a similar study of exemplary buildings and urban spaces documented in the architectural
literature. Analysis will primarily be the graphic (drawings) analysis of exemplary buildings, urban spaces,
and landscapes with an eye to 1) drawings appropriate to the subject of documentation, analysis, and
depiction, and 2) making such drawings in a knowledgeable and skillful way. In some cases drawing should
be annotated, but the emphasis here is more on the “architects sketchbook” than the “architect’s journal”- a
fine distinction.
ARCH 401 Competition Course
THE VENICE LAGOON PARK PROGRAM
Proposed by the Spanish magazine 2G, this international student competition aimed to rehabilitate the urban
idea of the Venetian lagoon as a network complex of communications and settlements, reestablishing the
original conditions of Venice as an urban constellation necessarly integrated in its natural environment. The
new park will have to provide for an urban park and support lagoon prototypes.
The studio derived inspiration from the curves of the islands as well as from centuries of glass making
techniques. Thus, a fluid, free-form plan emerged. Pathway lines were pulled from the island's curves and
the topography was manipulated to create gently sloping hills that become building and pathway. Building
shapes were inspired not only by these natural lines but also by the shapes of Venetian glass, drawing in
particular upon the artwork of the Venetian glass artist Afro Celotto.
ARCH 402 Urban Design
Catholic University of America, Rome
The Rome Study Abroad under my responsibility included fieldtrips and a one week project concerning
Materials and Nature. The program lasted 14 weeks from 1999 to 2003 and was structured to combine-site
analysis, lectures, readings, discussions in order to prepare the student to design an architectural artifact at
the urban scale. The focus of the design studio of 15-20 advanced students, was the city of Rome. The
group studied the public spaces of Rome and the overall urban design of the city, and then were asked to
design a public space. Goals included establishing an understanding of the original conditions, analyzing
elements used to make open public spaces functional and beautiful (paving patterns, steps, benches, treees,
light posts, fountains, ect.
