Abstract Details

2009, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture.
This thesis examines the fourth dimension of architecture, the temporal dimension. While many social trends show a public yearning for a deeper connection between the built environment and time, the general architectural discourse only addresses the issue stylistically. Architectural works are evaluated on their newness or heritage, respectively based on their degree of novelty or their incorporation of historical imagery. This polemic fails to address the human experience of time and its complex phenomena. Thus, outside of this stylistic discourse, can architecture better provide the user with rich sensations of time? This thesis examines the works of several architects in order to formulate a design methodology that engages a broader spectrum of this ethereal dimension. It proposes that, by building in a manner that heightens the awareness of a layered, complex model of time, one might heighten awareness of time's continuous movement and subsequently generate comfort with its passage.
