Dax, Malcolm A.2016-01-122016-01-122016-01-11vt_gsexam:2954http://hdl.handle.net/10919/64439This thesis confronts the ultimate limits of perceiving the constructed world and the limits of our ability to experience architecture. The imperative of architecture is poetic: to and project encounters between matter and energy that shape the existing and bring forth the as yet unimagined to form a continuing human world. This is explored through the imagining of a habitat and vessel that projects the human endeavor of architecture into the formless depth of space. In drawing the physical from the void, the page becomes a way to move architecture from non-existence into the real by means of the imagination. An imagined wold is drawn from the void in search of the center for a universal and humanist architecture. The thesis is conceived as a vehicle for drawing the limits of perception when we attempt to imagine that which is greater than ourselves.ETDIn CopyrightArchitectureMega-structureExperimental DrawingSpace HabitatUniversalFuturistMetabolistUtopia.Thesis
