MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH
Supervised by Fernando Domeyko.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-94).
This thesis is essentially a design for a large apartment building in New York City containing substantial public facilities, which, it is hoped, might function as a kind of neighborhood center. The design process was devoted chiefly to the overall design of the building, with particular attention paid to the interior public spaces and the exterior massing. I tried to be reasonably realistic in terms of contemporary planning constraints and construction methods in the development of the design, and the project is meant to be taken as a serious proposal for its site. While the project itself is the main point of the thesis, the accompanying text is intended to provide some contextual background: the introduction sets out the main issues I struggled with, the other chapters provide some of the historical, cultural, and physical context of the design, while a concluding section describes the design process.
