Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1989. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-97). / This thesis proposes the direct building of physical-spatial continuities with a generous range of sizes, from site size down to human size, producing an environment of multi-optional use. The work is partially reaction to certain modem tendencies in architecture that reduce the built landscape to closed, object-like, discrete physical elements. The disparity in the range of sizes from large to small intensifies the discontinuity in contemporary, mid-to-high density urban environments. The design exploration entails the transformation of an abandoned series of packed cylindrical grain containers to a structure habitable as a mid-rise (10-12 stories) three dimensional built landscape. References describe select problems and examples of: the circle as a geometric construct and some of its intrinsic behaviors the circle-cylinder in architecture built landscape transformations. / by Daniel S.
