This portfolio reflects a visit to Panama City, a location whose geography has shaped global trade and travel for centuries. Positioned near the narrow isthmus linking North and South America, Panama has long served as a strategic point connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Churches, plazas, and administrative buildings demonstrate the influence of European urban design traditions adapted to local climate and geography. These historic districts provide insight into the political and economic forces that contributed to Panama’s significance within the broader history of the Americas.
