Doherty, Joyce2015-05-082015-05-081994http://hdl.handle.net/10919/52134This thesis is an exploration of objects and their ability to create a between. Objects are the principal focus of this thesis. Objects arise from a desire to express the richness of three dimensions. Betweens evolve from the relationship between objects. The between is a thing, just as clearly as the object is a thing. It is a hallway, a door or a room. Knowing that a between needs to accommodate a particular function can help shape the relationship of the objects, but does not shape the objects themselves. This thesis is studied in a proposal for the area surrounding Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture, Cowgill Hall. The proposal consists of four primary objects; a series of three classrooms, a new entrance into Cowgill, a gallery above and below Cowgill Plaza, and a stair which extends the Plaza down to the level of Cowgill’s first floor.20, [2] leavesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightCowgill Hall (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) -- Designs and plansVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. -- Buildings -- Designs and plansVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University -- Buildings -- Designs and plansLD5655.V855 1994.D644Schools of architecture -- Virginia -- Blacksburg -- Designs and plansThesis
