Joseph Franco is a graduate of Marywood University School of Architecture.  He was a part of the first class of students to embark in this new program since 2009.  Over this period of time, he has been mentored and lectured by a number of local influential designers of different backgrounds.  Joe's interests have always been about art, from his self taught ability to draw since he was 10 year old.  Now he has a growing interest in building technologies, ranging from structures to environmental systems.  His approach to design is to make a beautiful enclosure that responds to a number of issues and challenge the way everyone thinks of architecture and the built environment.

This website is a breadth of my work in my undergraduate years.  The projects range from heritage centers, to galleries, and green institutes- all at different scales and different sites.    I believe in creating beautiful structures that marry utility and function with form and grace.
