Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis explores the origins of the House and Temple form through the design of a house. The design looks to the theory of the original elements of architecture being the hearth, roof, mound and woven enclosure. Specific focus is given to the woven aspect of this theory, which is expounded upon in the wood structure and partitions of the house. The house exhibits the characteristic syntax of weaving with orthogonal geometric relationships and a hierarchy of elements. The structure and spaces of the house emerge from a rigid pattern grid defining the site and the historic temple symbolism of the double square.
