"Building"

I guess my concern is for building.

This thesis became a search for form. It did not start that way.

The start was a search for reasons, for methods, for a way. It was, however, the pursuit of an understanding of the essence of an object that proved the most rewarding. How l design has come from investigating WHAT I design.

The thesis has not left me with answers, but with questions. And what are those questions?

The thing:

The thing as OBJECT: it seems to boil down to - how is it made?

The thing as EVENT: it seems to boil down to - what is it like to be there?

The thing as DESIGNED: it seems to boil down to what do I want its nature to be? What will inform my forms? / Master of Architecture
