| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to reconnect man to natural flows by designing spaces with overlapping thermal comfort regions between people and plants. Cities encourage metaphysical awakenings and foster physical re-connections to analog roots for its citizenry in this digital age. Architecture puts us in touch with nature on a daily basis by appropriating and applying technologies in concerted efforts to strengthen the conscious bond between people and The Land. Technology allows architecture to feel like landscape in such a way that the memory of an inhabitant's experience comprises mostly of his interaction with the natural elements. Built environments liberate our senses. | en_US |
