The content of the graduation project was carried out in three stages: the research phase, the interphase and the building design. They are interrelated and are presented in a (con)sequential manner. The project started with the case study of the city of Yerevan in Armenia which became the main source for research documentation. The research phase was concluded with the final thesis involving the collected material. During the interphase the insights, discussed in the thesis, were then gradually translated into a more tangible matter via experimentation, model making and drawing. Consequently, the gathered material informed the beginning stages of the design proposal and were constantly re-introduced in the development of the building.
