It is the intent of this thesis to make an architecture, composed of individual pieces. Each of these pieces or elements are dependent on each other to make the whole. The individual piece has its own inherent characteristics, when combined with the other pieces form a whole greater than the sum of the individual pieces. The whole exists only when there is a structure or order within which a dialogue between the individual pieces can occur. Within this structure the elements begin to inform those elements around them.
The opportunity for making the inbetween arises from the interaction with one another. It is because of the in between there is a greater whole. The whole consists of more than the beginning and the end, interior and exterior, or solid and void. Without the exchange between pieces, the inbetween can never be realized to its fullest potential. When the architecture denies the inbetween to exist the whole cannot be achieved.
This position or methodology of making independent pieces which question and inform their relationship to the whole is the basis for making this architecture. It is not limited by type, scale use or to this specific project. It is the basis for my architecture. / Master of Architecture
