The Spanish Corridor

We started out the southern Italy trip in Naples where we stayed at Hotel Mediterraneo for two nights. Def. the best hotel we've stayed in this entire trip. It had a beautiful view of the bay and the city from the roof. The first day we sketched in Naples and walked around. The second day we took a ferry to Capri and spent the day there. We spent the majority of the day in casa malaparte where we did a day sketching assignment. That day was amazing, the views from the house were beautiful! so glad we were able to tour the house and spend the day. The next day we had a tour of Baia and Pozzuoli and stayed that night and the following in Castellemare at the institute. The next morning we went to Pompeii then spent the rest of the day in sorrento. Pompeii was really interesting to see. It was literally the ruins of the entire city and there were even some bodies that remained covered from the ash. Overall the trip was alot of fun, the weather was really nice and we were able to see alot. Unfortunately it was our last trip of the semester, but a perfect way to end it.

Second Project

SECOND PROJECT - Urban Design: Street, Square and Block

Working in groups of two we were to design a new quarter in the city of Rome, Our site was South of Trastever between Vialle Trastevere and the Tiber River

Objective was to create:

- a hierarchy of streets
- a hierarchy of urban space

- to weave the design into the existing fabric of

the surrounding city
- well planned urban spaces for people

- to allow for appropriate urban settings for important

built or natural features of the existing site

The Acropolis Museum

Just another White House

After the volcanoe we took a donkey ride up the 750 steps of the cliff to the center of fira

Jess & I on the Volcanoe. We took a boat to the volcanoe, otherwise known as the Caldera then went around to the hot springs.

White Houses

Fira, Santorini

A weekend adventure to Greece. Spent two beautiful days in Santorini walking the entire island & seeing the most beautiful landscapes. I've never felt so lucky to be anywhere in my life. When your standing on the cliffs whether it be looking over Fira or the volcanoe or just out into the ocean it takes your breath away. You can't help but to stand there and take in the scenery. Pictures don't do it justice what so ever, just one of those places you have to visit and experience for yourself. When we flew back to Athens we visited the Acropolis. They weren't kidding when they said it was in "ruins", however it was still amazing to see and experience.

Following Verona we visited Vicenza & toured the Villa Rotunda

View from the Castle

The tunnel into the Romeo & Juliet Balcony were covered with love notes.. so cute.
