Abstract
All buildings have a relationship with their immediate site and their larger landscape: some buildings simply occupy their site while other buildings define and intensify their landscape. The relationship between building and landscape is important, understandable, and describable. Through analysis of selected buildings and their landscapes and through development of site specific designs, this thesis will develop a methodology that demonstrates that a good building comes from building WITH the landscape, not just ON the landscape.
