Working with the existing condition of an abandoned glassmaking warehouse in Murano, Italy, this project explores the possibilities of origami and historical precedents as the means of creating a Biennale exhibit space.

This once vibrant cultural community of Overtown was devastated by the affects of Urban Renewal projects of the 1960's which brought interstate right through the heart of it. However, the introduction of the new Brightline station on the boundary of Overtown and Downtown Miami offers new possibilities through transit-oriented design and community-center programs to revitalize its history. 

Passing through Lockhart from Orlando, it would be impossible to gather that such a desolate place once contained a rich industrial history. It itself has become more of a transitional threshold than a destination. This project looks at regeneration through the lens of urban planning as a means of reorganizing a town, adding density, and re-establishing a spirit of place.
