Josh Arcurio is an architectural designer and project manager at de la Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, working remotely in Washington, D.C.
Interested in the built environment, transportation, cad/bim, remote working, coworking, uniform design, and crossword puzzles.
I contributed to the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art's "What We're Watching" series of film recommendations for architecture and design lovers. Visit the ICAA website for my thoughts on Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread (2017), Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favourite (2018), Kent Mackenzie’s The Exiles (1961), and Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away (2001).
While I could not be more proud of my work with DLGV over the past nine years, I am extremely happy to have found a new home at David M. Schwarz Architects in Washington, D.C.
