Abstract
Flow Garden is a proposal for a park architecture in which building becomes pathway. The project conceives of the building as an instrument within its larger urban context which has the capacity to strengthen and unify fragmented public space. The project does so by collecting and articulating all possible wanderings within a public park strategically located adjacent to Downtown Orlando, Florida. The strategy employed in Flow Garden is an inversion of the architectural strategies of its many neighboring theme parks which set a precedent for the building to operate both as an obstacle and as a spectacle within its broader urban context. This thesis represents a search for an architecture in which the building, rather than being a monumental rupture in the public realm, is instead, a formula for its completion.
