Continuity and change through transformation : a mixed-use design in a Cape Cod harbor

Change is an ongoing, unavoidable process that may occur for many reasons and in many ways. In this world of uncertainty and often unwanted surprises it is comforting to know that there are some aspects of our physical and social environment that remain constant while others are changing. This thesis examines various attitudes towards new and old, towards continuity and change. It then centers on the idea of transformation which acknowledges the necessity of change while still respecting the positive aspects of what exists. This idea of transformation is demonstrated in general through diagrams, and specifically through a design of a mixed-use development in the harbor at Woods Hole on Cape Cod.
