Ever since coming to NJIT, I never imagined the roller-coaster of a ride that these past five years would’ve been. As I’ve gone through my years in HCAD; I’ve been exposed to a handful of life changing experiences, lifelong friends, inspiring professors, a second family, and the hints of what my future holds. I owe many of my successes to my family, studio-mates, professors, Alpha Rho Chi and AIAS. Not only have I had the chance to further my knowledge in architecture and infrastructure planning, but the opportunity to discover myself as a person and grow into the young professional I am today. I wish my graduating class and I the best of luck on the next chapter of our lives and hope to hear back from everyone very soon. LinkedIn, Portfolio, Instagram

The interdisciplinary infrastructure planning studio focused on revitalizing the downtown district of Lima by researching public space practices, urban themes, and consulting with the city directly. Partnering with the City of Lima, Urban95, and the Bloomberg Foundation, three sites were distributed to the studio for a new proposal which would fit into the revitalized framework. The studio group’s (Youliana Elkomos, Margaux Thys, Steve Vivar) designated site was alongside the Rimac river, a large central stakeholder running through the city. Building off the existing Alameda Chabuca Granda a barren riverside edge is transformed into a large urban playscape.
