“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans;
aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are
gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to
do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.”
- Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect - Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect

Joseph A. Schettino: Brief BackgroundBrief BackgroundI am an experienced architectural designer with several years of successful internships utilizing my strategic design, 2D
and 3D graphic skills, and reinforced knowledge of the construction process. I have a keen personal interest in mixed-use and sustainable design. Through my experience, I have acquired:
• Extensive AutoCAD and 3D modeling capabilities.• Involvement with clients throughout the phases of a project.• Oversite throughout all phases of the construction process.• Knowledge in residential, commercial, retail, and institutional building types with a keen
personal interest in mixed-use construction and sustainable design.
I have thrived in team oriented atmospheres as well as situations where I was dependent on my own personal abilities. I am intelligent, hard-working, and have a strong potential for growth.
I am scheduled to take the LEED Green Associate exam on March 17, 2011. I am also registered in the Intern Develop-ment Program and have logged over 600 hours towards my Architecture Registration. In May of 2008 I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I soon thereafter enrolled in a Dual-Master’s of Architecture program at Catholic University. I am earning an M. Arch degree as well as a Sustainable Design degree and will fulfill all requirements for commencement upon final presentation of my graduate thesis in May of 2011.

Graduate Thesis: Crime Control Through Architecture Design and Planning Techniques
A social call for safer cities and urban spaces has clearly been voiced. Such a demand concerns, directly, all those who are responsible for urban development projects. A closer look reveals that the design and functionality of the spaces that de-termine a project’s quality, and sustainability, relate to the safety of such spaces, as well as to their user’s feeling of safety. An architectural movement to control crime increases the overall sustainability of an urban space allowing it to serve as a safe and reliable setting for the current generation, as well as generations to come.

Comprehensive Building Design: New Catholic University of America School of Architecture + Planning
The Catholic University of America is rapidly growing and expanding as the reputa-tion of the school increases. As the number of students has increased, so has the number of programs offered. Currently, faculty and stu-dents are very densely packed within the build-ing and expansion is desperately needed.

Through exploring, reacting, and connectingexploring, reacting, and connecting in
the concept phases of the design process, we
were able to identify the key elements that make
up a smarter, sustainable, and better managed

Urban Design: Re-Connecting the Disconnects1. To heal the break caused by the “highway standards” of this sec-tion of North Capitol Street.
2. To provide a seamless transition between the two neighborhoods to the east and west.
3. To provide the proper setting for the shrine of the immaculate conception.
4. To establish a public, pedestrian scaled spatial sequence to and from the shrine.

This urban re-connection applies urban design techniques such as: - Facing buildings outward - Slowing down traffic to minimize highway-like driving - Making axis and direction clear to the driver/pedestrian/ biker - Landscape design allowing for views, public/private dictation

Frank Lloyd Wright
Developed a series of highly individual styles, influenced the design of build-ings all over the world, and also was highly involved in furniture design.
This “Print Lamp Stand” that I built is modeled after Wright-esque designs and was never actually built by Wright.
The purpose, besides providiing light, is to allow paintings or “prints” to rest on the platform that is about 8 inches from the ground.
An interesting and thoughtful design.
