A dwelling among walls

Siegfried Giedion wrote that the basic aim of the modern movement was to “win the split of thought and feeling” which is characteristic of modern man; that despite his power of scientific thought, modern man has lost a true relationship to the world in which he lives,and that what is lacking in our time is a satisfactory development of man’s emotional faculties.

This thesis is the record of an architectural project which was allowed to depend upon the impetus of emotion for the development of its language and program. The written portion of this record is in part a history and in part an interpretation of the project.

The project begins in pursuit of the desire to dwell upon a particular site. / Master of Architecture
