An architect draws from a deep
repository of past memories
made durable in the act of architecture.
This thesis is a study of
the analogous relationship between
a childhood memory of a
garden and a set of architectural
acts giving form to this memory.
The ideas of threshold, meander,
focus, and framing are the basic
conditions of the project. Perspectives
and montages are the
primary methods of study. The
project is a garden placed within
the context of an imagined city
setting up the interplay of silence
amidst the cacophony of the city.
It centers around a singular tree,
informed by a specific childhood
memory. The single tree in concert
with the architectural conditions
allows one to resist the inexorable
rush of urban time. / Master of Architecture / An architect draws from memories
of the past to inform the
future. This thesis is a study that
pulls from memories of a childhood
garden and compares them
to a set of basic architectural elements.
The ideas of threshold,
meander, focus, and framing are
explored.
