Model as a thinking tool (an architectural complex in an urban district)/

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A model is a communication tool, making contact with the deeper self as well as with others. lt is a bridge between conception and perception, or intellect and intuition. It helps us to develop thoughts and evolve ideas. People are convening in New York City. It is called a melting pot. Everyone mingles there without losing his own characteristics. lt is a big house which contains gardens, paths, rooms and millions of people. On East 14th street, there is an open block which could be a small city containing a park, houses, offices and stores. This thesis demonstrates the development of a complex, or if you will, a small city, on the block, with the help of models.
