On method and madness

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Through the design of an architecture school for Harvard University on the site presently occupied by Gund Hall, this thesis seeks to address the issue of defining architecture as an expressive endeavor--as a way of naming the essence of a given place, in all its cultural, sociological, historical and geophysical complexity--while simultaneously making a personal and contextually responsible statement.
