Abstract
In our ever changing understandment of city form, the interpretation and realization of space sometimes transcend the notion of time and the physicality of given boundaries. In the city of pastiche, a postindustrial condition has revealed a reading of the city that begins to question our temporal existence ... that we attempt to make a place of discourse, a place to create, contemplate and learn. This thesis proposes that this place be an extension of ourselves, of our city and beyond ... an urban oasis for the freedom of expression. In the advent of the intelligent age the place of pilgrimage becomes the shrine of information. The interface of information and knowledge to the civic arena anticipates a place for equity ... a collective intelligence. It is my intention to explore this dialectic condition in the context of a Center for Inter-Related Media for the city of Boston. The purpose of the Center will be to act as civic informant in the research and discernment of media upon our society. As such the protagonist roles of the artist. the educator, and the correspondent will provide the institution from which such an effort can exist.
