I have been developing a thesis based on
the concept of group form. Further research will
hopefully yield the criteria for successful
collective design. Such questions as: how can
spaces in dense urban environments be more
effectively created, and what specific elements
are the driving factors to the perception of a
space? The eventual goal is to define how
these criteria’s for success influence a building
project in an urban environment such as
downtown Boston.
I think that this topic is relevant to current
architectural discourse because the rapid
expansion of urban environments has created
an individual arbitrary building concept.This
design method creates a series of disconnected
spaces that smash into each other and we
complain that dense cities are now unable to be
redistributed more effectively. Instead, the focus
should be more on creating space that more
productively takes advantage of the surrounding
context in an attempt to bring the city together
as a whole. This technique creates opportunity
of empty spaces that may have been left behind
by the arbitrary building concept. The results
can yield a remarkable new connection between
the inhabitants and the architecture and
transform the dark and dense city into a
desirable and pleasurable environment for
everyone.
My thesis idea is currently the concept of
group form. First, I plan to investigate the
conditions that influence successful collective
design. Secondly, I want to understand how
those conditions are utilized most effectively to
develop a desirable urban environment. And
finally, I want to combine those factors together
and attempt to define the future outcome that
we can hope to expect from this process.
Spatial conditions affect architecture
Building material conditions affect architecture
Social conditions affect architecture
