Anthony Cotignola’s Design Portfolio
Westphal College Innovation Center
Spring 2021 (Year 5) | University City, Philadelphia, PA
In an attempt to design for the future of Drexel’s College of Media Arts & Design, the Westphal College Innovation Center is a high-tech facility that provides its students and the local West Philadelphia community with emerging technology (such as virtual reality) and spaces to develop and test new theories and advancements related to the future of art, architecture, & design.
Engagement with the local community via student-led education along with meaningful & shareable public spaces was at the forefront of the design. The site, and building, connects the developed university campus with the fragmented local neighborhood of Powelton & Mantua via a ‘canyon of art’, providing an important artery between a distanced university and neighborhood.

Hahnemann Tower & Urban Redevelopment
Spring 2020 (Year Four) | Philadelphia, PA
The Hahnemann Hospital superblock, located in the core Center City district of Philadelphia, was recently decommissioned and abandoned. This project proposes the redevelopment of the city block with multi-family housing, an academic and research building with associated student housing, and a mixed-use office and hotel high-rise–all in an attempt to bring life & activity back to the forgotten site.
Ground level retail activates the street edge with point of entry into the buildings from a newly created plaza core. A proposed elevated pedestrian bridge spans over the dangerous Vine Street Expressway, creating a safe means of entry into the site and Center City from the residential neighborhoods north of it. While a master plan was proposed, the office and hotel tower was developed for this project.
