As a physical manifestation of theory, it is the responsibility of architecture to engage the social, political, and legal implications of estrangement and alienation.Employing the practice of strangemaking guided by spatial interpretations of David Lynch’s films and the writings of Anthony Vidler, the unfamiliar can be drawn out of the familiar to elaborate a language of the uncanny. A built translation of the act of extracting repressed forces can expose them to scrutiny that expedites a larger dialogue about subdermal issues. A method for interpreting and extracting repressed forces will be established using excavation, doubling, dissolving, masking, and projection. The disassociative nature of these operations will inform architecture’s role in psychological transformation.By applying this architectural language of the uncanny to the ubiquitous but volatile typology of the gas station, the apparently mundane character of Trenton, New Jersey will be called into question. In doing so, the definition of beauty can be amended to include that which challenges us to relish discomfort as a conduit of growth. 2015-06-22 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1427900167 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1427900167 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
