With the end of the semester comes Final Crits, when students present their designs in front of their peers and a panel of judges to receive feedback on the work they have done all semester. This Spring 2025, we take a look at the Analysis and Design Studio projects.
In this interview, we talk to Jeremy Lynn and Isaac Merwin about their study abroad experience with Pantheon Institute is past Spring 2025 semester. Shot on location from the Vittoriano monument in Piazza Venezia, Jeremy and Issac share their thoughts on the complexity of Rome, the diversity of the built environment throughout Italy, and their plans for their career in architecture.
Earlier this month, we spoke to architect Edoardo Cappella, professor of Architecture Design Studio at Pantheon Institute and co-founder of the Velia architecture and design studio. In this interview, Edoardo discussed how Rome offers the opportunity to witness architectural complexity born out of the spontaneous evolution of urban planning, creating an atmosphere of design that reflects centuries of cultural, social, religious, political, and engineering metamorphosis. Like rings on a tree, Rome’s long and continuing transformation is visible in the interwoven layers of the Eternal City’s built environment.
On the Ides of March, family, friends, and colleagues gathered together to celebrate Allan Ceen, reflecting on his illustrious career and the marvelous ingenuity of his teaching. Hosted on a rooftop overlooking Largo Argentina, we say said goodbye to a father, husband, collaborator, teacher, peer, pioneer, and mentor whose profound impact will not soon be forgotten.
Natasha Meyer and Julia LoManto are both 4th-year architecture students from Penn State University. Originally from NYC, Natasha and Julia talk about their decision to come to Rome and the hands-on-learning experience of studying at the Pantheon Institute this Spring 2025 semester.
At Pantheon Institute, academic field trips are an integral facet of our commitment to experiential learning. Guided by our expert professors Romolo Martemucci and Lavinia Nannini, students observe firsthand how historical design elements, construction techniques, and spatial organization have influenced both historical and contemporary architecture and urban planning. Come join us as we explore Italy this Spring 2025 Semester.
Architect Lavinia Nannini, originally from Rome, has spent her career engaged in architecture and urban design around the world, working with notable architects like Massimiliano Fuksas and Michael Sorkin.
Now returning back to her hometown of Rome and transitioning into teaching in higher education, Lavinia reflects on the art of seeing, the duality of antiquity and modernity in the Eternal City, and the future of architecture for burgeoning young architects.
Arianna Davis, 4th-year architecture student from Penn State University, discusses study abroad, experiential learning, and transforming spaces through creative architectural design.
Here at Pantheon Institute, our Fall semester kicks off with the Premio Piranesi, a unique design competition that grants students direct access to the Villa Adriana, one of the largest and most important pieces of Italian patrimony.
Join us on a little tour around the neighborhood.
