Abstract Details

2008, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
In the complex, fast-paced environment of this country, we have often disposed of building stock that could have been potentially adapted to meet our changing needs leaving environments with no connection to the past or local identity. This haphazard way of approaching our environment takes no advantage of our ability as sentient beings to truly engage in eloquent, sustainable combinations of the old and new. Through engaging the question of what we truly value in this country and how that can be defined through architectural quality, we look at a series of case studies that have successfully expressed a combination between the old and the new. This thesis defines some guiding principles inherent in successful resolutions. It does not give specified stylistic requirements but rather suggests that the old be fully understood, respected and engaged as part of a final combination with a clear hierarchy culminating in a unified expression. This set of principles will then be employed in the adaptive reuse of an abandoned industrial building into a contemporary mixed-use facility. The expressive dialogue between the old and the new is potentially the architectural expression of a new sustainable age.
