Abstract Details

2008, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture.
In America today the idea of home and attachment to home place is becoming less prevalent through the increase in suburban sprawl and the decrease in the importance of quality residential construction. Having a full and clear concept of home is essential to the definition of self, and the location of oneself within the context of the world. This thesis examines the concept of home at both the general level and the individual level to prove that the built environment can encourage attachment to home place. This is done through research, individual interviews, and finally through a design project involving the design of a house (for no one in particular) and neighborhood interventions in an existing neighborhood context in Cincinnati, Ohio.
