This thesis proposes that a building in a dense urban environment be used as an element that constructs the space of the city. A site was investigated to see how form could make the relationships between different parts of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts more explicit. The site was found to be a link in a sequence of public spaces that connects Harvard Square to the river. This approach works with the built environment as a field of spatial forces.
