Abstract
Scientific theory has been the progenitor of countless architectural works throughout the course of history. Advances in science, however, generally take a generation or two to become part of the architectural mainstream. Science relies on the architectural avant-garde for its induction into the realm of theory and practice. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, architects have no shortage of “new” scientific theory with which to experiment in the search for inspired architecture. This thesis will apply, metaphorically, principles of quantum physics, superposition and emergence as a palimpsest that denotes the interaction of generative forces related to site, program and geometry. The potential of these theoretical propositions as generators of form will concentrate on the iterative process of the observation of potentialities or eigenstates. The application of quantum/emergent principles, applied to a transit-oriented development in Loveland, Ohio, will be evaluated to determine the goodness of fit for the various eigenstates.
