Executed while still in school, studying abroad in Rome, this was a competition hosted by the University of Rome for the design of an internet cafe on a narrow site adjacent to Piazza Navona.  Playing off a modern interpretation of the 'facade' found throughout the city, we designed a dynamic front to the building which could open up and close down, depending on the time of day and intended programmatic use as necessary.  Our team was awarded first place by the competition jury, which included Robert A.M. Stern, and Josh presented the project publicly to the the University faculty and students.
