MUSEO DI EVOLUZIONE URBANAPANTHEON INSTITUTE+TULANE UNIVERsiTYprofessor: giovanna galifione-cox+david sabatelloROME, ITALYFALL 2014
In the dense, historic, urban fabric of Rome, Italy the op-portunity to build does not arise often. It is within these rare time frames of contemporary intervention that designers must contemplate what the future of Rome will be, and how the former empire and current nation’s capital will grow to support the daily needs of it’s citizens while honoring the city’s rich and layered past.
Located in Piazza Moretta, The Museo di Evoluzione Urba-na hosts a Museum of Urban Evolution, a park emphasizing the adjacent Tiber River, and modular retail and housing units. This buildings aims to serve its community by highlighting and educating what is important in today’s society, honor-ing the past, innovative flexible design and supporting the future health and liveliness of the city.

new orleans, lasummer 2014
Located on LaSalle St. in Central City, New Orleans, The Dew Drop Inn once had a rich and vibrant life rooted in civil rights and music, but years of change and uncontrol-lable circumstances forced the historic venue to close its doors.
We designed and built an undulating billboard of just a few of the notable performers that took the stage at Dew Drop Inn. The billboard is intended to raise awareness of the building’s historic significance and its potential future. This installation is phase one of a larger renovation proj-ect to bring the Dew Drop Inn back to its former glory.

The design of the NOLA Dance Academy is intended to increase creativity and collaboration among users. The monumental double staircase is the life of the Academy. It is a place not only for circulation, but a meeting point to foster new ideas and relationships. The energy formed by the interactive staircase breaks the building, allowing the energy to spill out into the street. This creates a non-traditional level of transpar-ency between dancers and the audience, or even the

professor: julie eizenberg+judith kinnardwest hollywood, ca
fall 2013
Running along Santa Monica Blvd. in West Holly-wood, California the WEHO BLDG is a mixed use retail, office and apartment building.
West Hollywood is celebrated for its independent spirit, gay culture and strong sense of community. A recent influx of upper-middle class families coupled with an increase in median age, is driving the need for a new typology of living.
In order to preserve the city’s unique heritage, the WEHO BLDG is designed to accommodate all ages and lifestyles with a variety of dwelling sizes and amenities. The flexible retail and office space frees it from being anything definitive, allowing it to transform and adapt with time and society.

south park elm centerportland state universityprofessor: nicola boscaninportland, oregonFALL 2014
Portland’s South Park is home to many historic American Elm trees. These majestic trees have survived through generations of urban development and destruction. Unfortunately, many of these elm trees are dying due to age and disease.
The South Park Elm Education Center is a pavilion intended to tell people the tale of how these green giants came to be, both naturally and through human influence. The rare experience of traveling through the anatomy of a tree from root to canopy gives the trav-eler a new appreciation of the beauty that surrounds them.

spring 2013
Designed as an entrance to a beach front retail space, the Hang Ten Entry was inspired by the relaxed surf cul-ture of Venice Beach, Ca. Mimicking the dynamic tides of the Pacific Ocean it is a place to linger and socialize.

In fall 2012 I created MikawaDesigns as a response to the lack of affordable, high quality, unisex leather acces-sories available. MikawaDesigns are influenced by my architectural education and appreciation for simplicity. Seeing a product through, from concept to production to buyer was an invaluable experience.

AMATEUR photographyvarious locations 35mm+120mm FILM
It is through photography that I have learned the importance of composition and attention to detail. Even the most banal of subjects can often be broken down into a unique image. The limited view through a camera allows me to distill a subject into its most interesting patterns and textures.
