After the Politecnico di Milano, I decided to enroll in the Post Graduate Master Degree in Architecture at Università degli Studi di Genova.
The decision to move to other city was a natural choice: in order to be admitted to the master's degree at the Milano’s university, I had to provide a proof of knowledge of the English language with a minimum level of B2 (advance) and additional preparatory exams. Because of the English exam, I had decided to apply to another university and to be fair, my choice was inspired by the location more than by the university itself. I am so glad that this emotional choice allowed me to discover an exceptional university which brought me where I am today.
Since the beginning, I noticed a key difference

The latter was useful because the experience to work on the master planning of the new restyling of the city of Genova gave me a further vision of the architecture.
When I worked at Renzo Piano’s UrbanLab, I was involved, for the first time, into providing a new face for the Genova’s harbor. I was extremely excited for such topic where you deal with specific features and issues of the seaside cities as Genova. On top of all this, unexpected news came out during my second year. I have been selected for the only spot available for the Erasmus programme at the Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona.
Such an amazing surprise!!
This was the cherry on top of the cake as I had just spoken with my future thesis supervisor: a Catalan professor at Università degli Studi di Genova, known at international level and with an established practice in Barcelona.
I thought that this factor could have helped me to manage in a better way my thesis; in fact, I realised it was a bad idea as my thesis supervisor was always travelling and I was extremely busy starting the adventure at the Politecnica de Catalunya.
At the end of the day, I can certainly say that the years of the master degree have been the best ones spent across the architectural education as they gave me the chance to develop as person and future architect. Moreover, on one side, relocation in a new city has challenged me to be
I'm doing great; I am very excited that it's the second half of the year. The exam period of the first semester went well. As I mentioned in my previous letter, the studies enriches and empower me, and I am happy for that. There are quite a few challenges during the course of the degree, but there isn't an obstacle one cannot overcome, by providing me this sponsorship you are helping and encouraging me. I would like to thank you again for your sponsorship. I wish you blessings and success in everything you do. May you be rewarded for your work.
Therefore, it is with much enthusiasm that I recommend Paul Spezza’s application to your institution. I anticipate extraordinary works from Paul and if selected by your university I believe he will contribute wonderfully to your
Many stories of the floods that washed over the city have been told, speaking of the sorrow of the people who were forced to move from their lifelong homes, the struggle to rebuild. Then, innovators, engineers, architects and planners banded together. Ingenuity spearheaded the movement to drive Genoa, Italy and all of Europe towards the future. Easily accessible, comforting and natural environments found in public spaces will greatly boost happiness and contribute to good health of the everyday citizen. Public space is a very powerful tool and Genezon aims to achieve full potential. In the eyes of the people of Genezon, old or young, there’s always that spark of hope, the hope of the people with the firm ground beneath them and the stars above them. The future is now and Genezon is on that horizon.

His first comprehensive city plan was La Ville Contemporaine (the Contemporary City) a project to house three million inhabitants designed in 1922. This was Le Corbusier’s first attempt to reconcile man, nature and machine (Fishman, 189). The city starts at the center with a transportation hub for busses, trains, cars and planes. Surrounding this hub there will be an organized cluster of 24 60-story skyscrapers. These glass and steel skyscrapers are cross-shaped. Each individual skyscraper is to be set within a large rectangular green space. The skyscrapers house the “brain” of the city. The city is beautifully geometric and symmetrical. Placing the skyscrapers in the city center reinforces the emphasis on capital as a means of creating a successful city. Because of the shape and mass of each skyscraper, they have more usable space than an entire neighborhood but also relieves density and congestion because of the organization (Frampton, 46).
Then, I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago to get a WONDERFUL phone call from your scholarship committee notifying me that I was a recipient for your award! The astonishment and delight on my face said it all; I was in complete amazement! As soon
Thus, like other areas in European urban areas, Paris could be transformed into a modern and mythic city, as it is known today. However, the city is still associated with the public works of the 19th century. According to author, there have been many changes and Paris became the first city to tear down its fortifications and attracting more visitors. The author explains that that the Parisian urban planning enjoyed the earliest public transportation and street lighting, and became the first city in Europe to have planned development that made it both beautiful and exiting.

Today in our Advanced Academic English class I did an interview and I interviewed a boy named Ricardo Debiase who is my classmate in this class. He is twenty tree years old and came to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) through the Brazilians’ program called Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP). Therefore, he is a scholarship student inside TCNJ.
The article argued that although new and modern architectural buildings are satisfying and innovating, they can take away from a sense of place or culture as Meade’s states himself “New, shiny buildings are all well and good, but what architects forget about is a sense of place – and beauty of wastelands” (Meades, 2012). Meades expresses his issue against architects overly modernizing structures, which might also have to do with that fact that the artists are getting paid for the designing of the “vanity projects” and the projects themselves are getting paid for. To draw reference to the Rome’s ancient city there is a constant style, grey colour and material that is used. If one were to view an image of the ancient city it is easily noticeable as to where it may it located, in this case Rome. It is almost essential that cities do not let go of their architectural traditions to keep the history and character life. Although it is inevitable for modernizations to be made, they should be worked traditional
The huge responsibility is to rethink the issues through, from the basement of the master plan in both the urban design of our cities and the rural areas. Tackling the main problems, and thinking of positive, new ideas of re-erect our city. In my opinion, this is a great and unique opportunity to re-design our cities based on the identity, culture and traditional life style of our people. With this in mind, it is my goal to specialize in urban design or design philosophy and reflect this knowledge on the master plan of our cities. Another aspect to consider is landscape architecture, thinking about new concepts to convert people from traditional life to a new modern life. Architects have a responsibility to create new, and yet maintain, the history of its people through the designs and structures we create. We have the opportunity to be a part of our countries civilization that could be viewed centuries later. I view this as a huge opportunity and a great

Before the end of my second year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture, I began to ponder on the possibility of quitting architecture. It was a convoluted time of uncertainty; I wasn’t sure whether I was prepared to become an architect and take on the responsibility and commitment to better the built environment. Nevertheless, I decided to give myself one last shot at architecture before giving up – I accepted the internship offer from MAD Architects in Beijing, China. There, I got to meet many young architects
