Abstract
This thesis examines the relationship of humans to their surrounding environment by investigating architecture’s ability to mediate between the extremes of outside and inside. Poetic and functional responsibilities of architecture are emphasized in a brief chronology of how the role of the tectonic building elements, which evolved from a need to protect the hearth, changed to being used to contain a manufactured environment. A design process that emphasizes a reliance on natural processes is used to test the assertion that architectural richness and environmental diversity in the human experience can be captured through the implementation of transitional spaces that exist in an expanded border between the extremes of inside and outside.
