Architecture Senior Theses
This thesis considers the specific relationship between representation of cities and its capacity to promote and construct cities.

Ultimately, the agency of the project is facilitated by overlapping autonomies that assume the scale, density, and power structures of a city-state as exhibited by the casino-resort while reinforcing the sacredness of the mausoleum’s objective formal agenda.
