Inhabiting the hillside : projections, process

This thesis is an exploration of form in three projections for inhabiting the hill side. Each projection encompasses a different approach or focus. The first, in Chelsea, Massachusetts, is within an urban context; the second and third, in Highland, New York, are in a rural setting and study cluster housing and mixed-used high density, respectively. In addition, the third projection explores a variation on a structural mat transfer system. The second part of this thesis is a collection of concepts relating to process, particularly architectural design, which implies a more inclusive attitude towards plurality in the mind set of designers.
