SYNTHe, the innovative rooftop project designed by faculty member Alexis Rochas and students in the Community Design Program at SCI-Arc, is featured prominently in two foreign publications: Korean magazine ELA and Italian publication Lotus.

In addition to choosing the project for their cover, ELA ran an 10-page spread with photos and descriptions of SYNTHe. Lotus ran a 4-page, bi-lingual feature on the project.

The rooftop garden prototype is located atop The Flat, a downtown Los Angeles residential mid-rise building, and was completed in 2009.
