The negotiation of this tension between water and architecture provides an imaginative design opportunity. Architects tend to consider water merely as the primary enemy, tailoring design to keep it out of and away from buildings. This neglectful and narrowly technical attitude does not allow water to become a legitimate design element or constraint. The conventional role of water in architecture, as an aesthetic feature or an enemy, will be inverted to allow water to become a critical design constituent in the redesign of the Saint John ferry terminal on the Bay of Fundy. With nearly thirty-foot tidal changes, the terminal will allow this significant tide to penetrate the building, continually transforming the interior, as well as the exterior. 2007-06-28 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1179412631 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1179412631 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
