This thesis aims to codify the physical in-between condition to understand how space is perceived in moments of time. The relationship between two dimensional vision and three dimensional space is utilized to direct orientation and give spacial identity to urban outdoor conditions and the architecture that inhabits it.
The site is located in Greenville, South Carolina between a single family residential neighborhood and a dense multi-use downtown condition. The land was once used for a sanatorium and then Greenville General Hospital. What remains is a large plot of land amongst small residential plots searching for a sense of identity and orientation. As the neighborhood turns to multi-family housing and commercial development draws near, there is awareness of a fleeting sense of place that will be lost if a firm foundation in historical and contextual identity is not established. / Master of Architecture / The in-between, when considered physically, can exist in many ways. This thesis presents four types of the physical in-between which may be perceived to exist in the built environment. These in-between conditions are the methods used to choreograph views intended to evoke emotional perception. An occupant's space in time determines the location and nature of the in between through two dimensional vision. The in between may invite movement through space at varying speed, or may invite stillness to absorb a two dimensional moment. It is only through change in perspective that the in between may be fully understood. The in between may be constrained and more specifically defined, or it may be more arbitrary and indicate an open more natural spatial condition.
