| dc.description.abstract | This thesis uses the still life as a medium for investigating architecture and the city . An analogy is established between what the thesis defines as still life and an urban composition (a site in East Cambridge). Through this analogy a specific understanding of architecture, site, and still life is explored. The analogy is used as a descriptive tool allowing the painting subject matter to be treated architecturally and architecture to be treated in a painterly manner. The site is analyzed as a still life to guide operational moves throughout the design exercise and to increase the experience of the site as both subject and object. | en_US |
