Abstract Details

2009, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
The purpose of this thesis is to expand the scale in which designers think about buildings to include longer time effects. Through studying a user process, particularly musicians, scripts and trends can be documented to help guide and organize the buildings function over time. Within these scripts it is important to understand that some spaces will perform better when the specifications of the space are narrowed, while others will perform better if the specifications are more open-ended, allowing for the “unscripted” event to occur. Because the specificity of program will greatly vary, it is important for the unplanned spaces to be considered just as pertinent as the specific spaces. For the building to respond to this fluid transfer of functions it should not be thought of as complete; but rather, an object that takes on a life of its own through its synergetic relationship of internal and external forces. The goal is to coalesce designer intent with user interaction to ultimately create a space that is self evolving and responsive.
