M.I.T. graduate architecture thesis entitled "The ‘Circular’ Piazza: Landscape and History as Architectural Material, Constanţa, Romania."

The thesis proposes three things: 1. urban redevelopment of the central piazza zone of the ancient and ethnically diverse city on the Black Sea; 2. to approach urban design within the framework established by historical actions (not styles) and based on a meaningful yet fun human experience of the urban landscape; 3. to approach design introspectively through intuitive, perceptual and artistic analysis.

The 206 page thesis book, written and assembled in three weeks to rather strict design guidelines,
is organized like a catalog and like storybook at the same time. The version here varies from the library one in that it is spell-checked! Please view the pdfs as a book = two facing pages, with the first page as a single/cover page.
