Description

Learn how Bermudez turned a school project into $10,000 as the winner of the 2014 Richard Diehl Award and Vectorworks Design Scholarship. His project used digital tools to demonstrate how reclaiming an area devastated by poor use redefines the relationship between the villages and creeks in the Colombian coffee community of Circasia, thereby reconnecting the area's urban core to its agrarian landscape.
