Abstract
The thesis will propose a method of architectural design that applies the use of continuous and curvilinear surfaces. It will explore a method of engaging the continuous surface as an expression and response to t he dynamic form-giving forces of the 1. functional /programmatic needs, 2. environmental and 3. metaphoric, all of which will be further elaborated in the Introduction. This thesis will be conducted with the understanding that these shaping forces, as well as materiality, are critical and complex design issues that can be communicated through the form-giving process by an exploration and application of a continuous and curvilinear surface constructed with composite materials in an urban site condition.
