| Summary: | This thesis study investigates the significance of the
archetypal images of architecture and the inherent
relationship between space, structure, and form.
How are space and form defined by architecture?
Is form a premeditated thing, and, if so, how is it
intuitively understood by the creative process? By
studying the models and patterns through which
the autonomous language of architecture is communicated,
the thesis study attempts to develop an
understanding of the nature of form through universal
and particular conditions.
<p>
Rather than present the study as a completed body
of work ending with an objective conclusion, the
included images and text represent an ongoing investigation
addressing critical architectural ideas including
the relationship between form and context
and the role of tradition and historical precedent as
a deciding factor of modern architecture. === Master of Architecture |
