Michael Storm is a senior at the NYU
College of Arts and Science, majoring in Urban Design and Architecture Studies. In
summer 2012 he attended the Summer Architecture Studio at Columbia University
where he designed a neighborhood arts and community center for the residents of
Central Harlem. He also recently worked on a design to reintegrate a continuous
and pedestrian-friendly street grid in Stuyvesant Town. Of course,
he didn't forget the East River Waterfront!
On a
perfect day, Michael can be found drawing, or biking around New York City
taking photos of interesting places and buildings. He has been able
to apply this personal passion for architectural photography as
photographer for the fall 2012 and
winter 2013 CIVITAS newsletters. During his internship at CIVITAS he
has also created a report on the way East
Harlem has developed since the 2003 Rezoning. Initiated by CIVITAS and
Community Board 11, the 2003 rezoning was the first in that area since the 1960s. To learn more about East Harlem rezoning efforts, visit www.civitasnyc.org/east-harlem-rezoning.
Reflecting
on his time at CIVITAS, Michael says: “My
work at CIVITAS has really affirmed my interest in Architecture and Urban Design. I am very passionate
about understanding and creating
unique urban spaces that foster strong, thriving communities.” He hopes to continue this focus on
urban life when he graduates from NYU this spring.
