At the vibrant age of 76 years, Lorenzo did not disappoint, leaving us with the ultimate gifts of blueprint and possibility. Lorenzo was the culminating speaker of the seminar "Do the Poor Weep For Rome? Reading Mike Davis Into the Future" organized by SCI-Arc faculty Thabisile Griffin and John Cooper to honor and invoke the spirit of the late, great historian, urbanist, and activist Mike Davis who was faculty at SCI-Arc in the 1990s and who passed in Fall 2022.
