Site Based PhenomenaHill, Andrew 20 March 2012 (has links)
With the perpetual advancements in technology
and communication the focus and obsession
of architectural critique has become surfi cially
focused on building “image”. This focus on image
of architecture has taken away from the
true meaning and focus of what architecture is,
space and experience. Although most talks today
are focused on image, there are a handful
of architects that push for a more phenomenological
approach. In the design process, they
think more of how a space will feel and stimulate
the senses, enrich a viewer’s experience and
strengthen the relationship of the space to the
context beyond.
This thesis attempts to develop methods and
concepts that focus on the study of site based
phenomena. This thesis attempts to fi nd design
processes that will see buildings conceptually
conceived from their sites rather than merely
placed upon them. The development of these
methods and processes is the primary concern
of the thesis. It uses Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia
as a laboratory for testing.

TECTONICS & MATERIAL IN THE DESIGN OF A MEDITATION CENTRE IN PEGGY’S COVE, NOVA SCOTIAWang, Zhe 22 March 2011 (has links)
Meditation means awareness. It is a process inducing a series of steps, that leads to a state of consciousness which brings serenity and clarity. While the space we choose for meditating needs to reflect the state of clear mind, if possible, it should be isolated from the noisy city and in a natural pure land.
This thesis investigates meditation theory and the natural context of Peggy’s Cove, as well as material and tectonic experiments, to design a New Meditation Centre in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. The design of the New Meditation Center proposes building as a new form of architecture, the form, material and construction of which engages the viewer to admire and respect our nature.
