dc.description.abstractWell designed forms and spaces can maintain their inate beauty and harmony though activities in and around them will come and go. These spaces are timeless. My search is not directly for a form but rather for a pattern, dictated to by the idea, governed by rules about the space and limited only by site. A form that gracefully embraces itself and the reason for its genesis. Continually evolving. The hospital will be my instrument. I sense what a hospital is but I do not know what it will become. A functional organism by nature, it must be understood and simplified so that Architecture can triumph. Therefore, a strong, viable plan for form and space is essential.en
