“If I want to eat some gingerbread, I choose a piece that is quite plain, and not in the shape of a heart or a baby or a horseman, and gilded all over. The man from the fifteenth century will not understand me. But all modern people will.”
- Adolf Loos, 1908
is a third-year M.Arch graduate student at Columbia GSAPP. He has an M.A. in the history of technology and science from the University of Oklahoma and a B.S. in economics from the University of Utah. He is currently an adjunct lecturer in history at Montclair State University.
His academic research concerns the relationship between art and technology in the postwar United States and modern architectural history and theory. He wrote his thesis on Allan Sekula, an American photographer and critic.
For Mario, every design project is also a research project. All projects undertaken are stringent in their analysis of culture, history, theory, and representation. Mario is interested in space which at the same time subverts and agitates our expectations of reality yet provides a socially beneficial construct.
