Architectural form is both an expression of human desire and built edifice directly related to construction methods. It follows that the responsibilities of the architect seeking new form must extend to the instrumentation of tectonic machines and devices, which are also appropriately new. This thesis proposes a revitalization of the relationship between the architect and machines as a means of restoring intimacy, immediacy, and delight to the act of building. What follows is a presentation of images, photographs, and models related to the design and development of an architecture machine, and related constructions. / Master of Architecture
