Abstract Details

2016, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Many have spent their lives in search for wonder. In architecture it can transpire in three methods: frame, spectacle, interruption. Interruption, the most subtle of the three, is something that can be happened upon, noticed as the strange in the familiar. It is this method, which is unraveled through definition to understand its true duplicitous origins. It is explored through architectural precedents to understand the author’s bias of what makes one wondrous. To further understand the role of interruption at a smaller scale, traditional architectural elements are dismantled to understand their potential beyond our assumptions of each. All of which, create a catalogue for wonder as an interruption. Which, in this case, is applied to downtown Chicago’s Pedway system; an application which is merely one example of many: a qualitative study of wonder as an interruption transpired through translation. The beauty of interruption is the potential of possibility rather than a set destination. The beauty of design is there is no one answer rather many approaches. This thesis sets the scene for interruptions to come.
