Abstract:
This thesis is based on the premise that a need exists for the densification of our existing urban centers. The investigation then becomes how to put more stuff in less space. The objective, however, is not a technical optimization exercise, but rather the pursuit of a palatable set of ideas that enable densification. This presupposes an essential net gain from the trading of personal space for 'architectural value.' Consequently, the thesis is a quest for alternate processes that will lead to unconventional built form. The project outlines a set of episodes that attempt to abstract or develop criteria that can then be executed in the creation of more compact and rewarding environments. Each episode has its own focus and a limited dependency on the criteria of the others.
