Abstract Details

2007, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Architecture has lost a sense of balance - it has shifted into an anthropocentric realm. Architecture must find a way in the new millennium to provide balance to sustain its presence as Art. Therefore, Architecture must reexamine what it means to dwell poetically. The emphasis must be to live, as Martin Heidegger suggests, within a fourfold world. This thesis looks at architectural works that begin to achieve a connection between man and the world. Primarily by analyzing Frank Lloyd Wright, this thesis compiles evidence that his works truly exhibit the premise of dwelling. It defines the Natural which is embodied by four foci- the outer, inner, metaphysical, and the omnipresent. By exploring these four foci, design solutions are tested on an ecological community center in Cincinnati. The result of this design is a process that yields humane, Natural architecture where man can truly dwell poetically.
