dc.description.abstractThis thesis study investigates the significance of the archetypal images of architecture and the inherent relationship between space, structure, and form. How are space and form defined by architecture? Is form a premeditated thing, and, if so, how is it intuitively understood by the creative process? By studying the models and patterns through which the autonomous language of architecture is communicated, the thesis study attempts to develop an understanding of the nature of form through universal and particular conditions. Rather than present the study as a completed body of work ending with an objective conclusion, the included images and text represent an ongoing investigation addressing critical architectural ideas including the relationship between form and context and the role of tradition and historical precedent as a deciding factor of modern architecture.en
