It involves hand drafting instruction, state of the art digital-production education, a 2nd-year portfolio review, a semester abroad at the 'Sede-Di-Roma' program (Rome, Italy), and a fifth year Architectural Thesis.

My interpretation of the project was an architectural machine I named 'Eco-Form.' It is a mobile ecological rehabilitation center that exploits global shipping standardization in order for it to travel to any location on earth. Below is a slideshow of the project highlights:
