As the majority of human populations move into cities, our innate sense of belonging is solidified through the development of urban spaces combining aspects of time, culture, and sense of place. Through our misconception of being superior to our landscape, we forget that our urban sprawl problem is suffocating the natural world integral to our existence. By looking inwards at a more concentric society sponsored by the time and heritage of place, architecture can redirect the focus of human development back to authentic interactive city centers filled with diversity and intellectual growth. The role of architectural design should be to visibly root cities into the land that surrounds them making them a more tangible product of the earth, bringing attention to our heritage of place, and helping to define the bounding identity of our increasingly dense urban cores. With the desire of a fortified relationship between humanity and our natural environment, we can build a stronger sense of belonging to urban space and consolidate our efforts of environmental synthesis. 2014-10-17 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233804 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233804 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
