Abstract
The intention of this thesis is to study both architecture and landscape architecture and to find the "common ground" between the two. By understanding nature and how the man-made environment can express and complement nature, strong and meaningful places can be created.
The project for this thesis is a competition. "A Museum on the Shore of a Lake," in which a museum, winter garden, health club, shops and restaurants, parking and a marina are to be incorporated onto a nine acre urban waterfront site.
