Abstract
dc:description.abstractTechnology has advanced to such degrees, yet the quality of architectural spaces has not. Man has become like a satellite - not having contact with the planet. We need to recover the act of living, the act of inhabiting our cities. Good architecture allows for and creates an interaction between man and his environment; built or natural. The quality of his architecture depends upon the intensity of that exchange. This thesis looks at an exchange set up between site and city; and between building and site.
