Architecture student Fernando Castro-Caratini mixes concrete for the foundation of a new shade pavilion located just east of the University City Post Office, in the Delmar Loop. The project — which began construction Nov. 9 — comes as part of a design/build studio led by Carl Safe (far left), professor of Architecture in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. When completed, the wooden structure will provide visitors with a shaded, relaxed setting while also giving young architects hands-on experience in all aspects of the construction process. In previous years, Safe’s students have developed similar projects for the courtyard of Market in the Loop, in the 6600 block of Delmar Boulevard, and for the retirement community Crown Center, 8350 Delcrest Drive.
