JOHN LUCENTEPORTFOLIO ‘11-12
I was born and grew up in Windsor
Ontario. Attended Ste Ceciles Acad-
emie from grades 1 through 12.
Graduated and went to post sec-
ondary school at University of Wind-
sor for a year of business and math
electives before enrolling in the St.
Clair College Architectural program.
My roots are Italian and Canadian,
and at the age of 13 I spent the sum-
mer in Florence; Italy, studying Ital-
ian and touring the country with my
sister. I went back to Italy at the age
of 16 with my father and sister, visit-
ing family and touring southern Italy,
Calabria; where my father was born.
From the age of ~12 to 17, I spent
much of my time racing bicycles
for a local team (Maple Leafs).
I’ve raced nationals in Beauce;
Quebec, and stage races in Bos-
ton, Mass., Also winning races
across Ontario, including the local
Erie street bike race as a junior. I
still ride my road bike today, how-
ever, not at a competitive level.
My goals in the architectural fi eld
are to graduate from St. Clair Col-
lege in 2013, go to Lawrence Tech-
nological University to obtain my un-
dergraduate degree, then go onto
my masters degree. My dream is to
become, one day, a principle design-
er and architectural illustrationist.
