DESCRIPTION
This is a compilation of sketches and documents from my spring 2013 semester in Genoa, Italy. Sketches are from my travels throughout Italy: Genoa, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Vicenza, Venice, Verona, Torino, and even a few created in Istanbul, Turkey. Select projects combining sketching and paper cuttings have also been included. These relate to architectural studies and project processes.TRANSCRIPT
