dc.description.abstractThis is a presentation of the way I see the world created by mortals; these ideas shape my architectural perspective. The building is a museum designed to present a history of yachts: boats which present a way of building and a sensibility of materials. This consideration of the material used reveals each material’s characteristics in construction. Steel attenuates through optimization, and masonry becomes generous in form through the needs of its use. A building is a note emitted in a particular instant in the midst of a culture and composed of an infinitude of elements. Buildings measure mortal progress through the instrument of technology. Time is measured by matter. The building explores the rhythm and juxtaposition of elements in their relationships within the pattern of the building. The book is an examination of an order in text and images, given the technology i have chosen. The gathering of things that present meanings when juxtaposed begin to shape an idea, an emotion. Words as objects, gather to form complex ideas. In this book the transparent paper allows the presence of future images to influence present readings. To experience with the senses and the mind, we learn throughout existence giving order to our universe. Elements become multivalient by the continual layering of experience. Revisited in time, with fresh discovery in unselfconscious exploration things gain meaning. Culture evolved as its material record transforms.en
