Outdoor Classroom
The Earthroom is an outdoor classroom space for Manitou Elementary School District 14 in Colorado. The concept is based on the Theater in the Round, and the Golden Ratio was used to calculate the layout. Composed of colored and textured concrete, the location had a fairly steep grade, so some retaining walls were added to lessen the grade and act as additional seating areas. Earthroom is used for all classes throughout the day, teachers will reserve the space to use for an hour of the class a few days a week. Other uses are performances and faculty meetings.

Carbon Studio Llc
Carbon Studio work place of Sculptor/Designer Daniel Romano. Figurative Abstract forms predominately fabricated from metal. Abstract work based on the human form and various conditions surrounding Humans.
I have always directed my Sculptural ideas into Architectural work. The No.6 billiard table is a blend of modern design with Antique billiard tables, sculpted steel and Italian slate. Recently there has been a surge in restaurant and night club design, from stainless steel to formed feather elements.
"My main concern with developing an idea is how it will WORK (communicate) with the prescribed location, or application (its placement)."
