Felipe Correa, Harvard University
Felipe Correa, is a Cambridge-based architect and urbanist. His most recent work focuses on mapping the animate nature of physical and material geographies within the contemporary constructed environment. These visual profiles, act as a framework that informs precise configurative strategies within diverse urban scenarios. Correa’s recent research projects include Andean Topographies and the Latin American City, which looks at Quito in relation to its extreme orographic condition, and Fluid Topographies and Riparian Urbanism, which looks at New Orleans as a material fragment of a much broader ecological-urban system.
