Terraced Landscape: A School Building Design in Virginia Tech

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis is an exploration of the fusion of building and landscape. Along with the development of modern design education, architecture design has been subdivided into several specific branches which actually cause harm to the whole design process and education in turn. In this thesis, I try to bridge the difference between the traditional concepts of building and landscape and try to make these two parts interweave with each other. By breaking the boundary between these two fields, integrity can be created which is able to make the building an object growing from its environment and to create a new middle landscape on the campus of Virginia Tech.
