Includes bibliographical references (p. 82-83).
Alienation in the built environment can happen in two ways: 1. When man cannot relate himself to his immediate surrounding (for example, the structure he is in); or 2. when the place he is in does not relate to the larger context. Both of these are issues of continuity, or rather, the lack of it, in our physical habitat. At present, the majority of buildings going up are mostly composed and conceived as self-contained / complete entities, that they are coherent wholes standing on their own. Often, the design of . such buildings pays little or no attention to their relation to the surrounding. As a result, these buildings excludes reciprocity, and hence continuity, in the built environment. This investigation attempts to address this condition by introducing a set of strategies and (more importantly) ways of thinking that might lead to (re)building continuity in the built environment.

<Abstract>Alienation in the built environment can happen in two ways: 1. When man cannot relate himself to his immediate surrounding (for example, the structure he is in); or 2. when the place he is in does not relate to the larger context. Both of these are issues of continuity, or rather, the lack of it, in our physical habitat. At present, the majority of buildings going up are mostly composed and conceived as self-contained / complete entities, that they are coherent wholes standing on their own. Often, the design of . such buildings pays little or no attention to their relation to the surrounding. As a result, these buildings excludes reciprocity, and hence continuity, in the built environment. This investigation attempts to address this condition by introducing a set of strategies and (more importantly) ways of thinking that might lead to (re)building continuity in the built environment.</Abstract>
