Personal favorite. A pavilion in Ithaca built entirely out of scaffolding that is specified from construction companies. The temporary elevator is fetishized for its industrial utility. First image is portfolio page, second is actual plot used in Seipp Memorial Prize Competition.

A predatory insertion and new entryway into the Capitoline museums of Rome. Contra posta is heavily employed to introduce a new addition -part building, part landscape into one of the historically most densely layered sites in Rome, Italy.
