Abstract

The essay and the design project are an attempt to re-explore the fundamental purpose of architecture as mediating interactions between the human self and the external world. From the intuitive perception of an environment to the establishment of an artificial system of proportion and order, the hypothesis considers the design of buildings as a desire for re-orientation within a scale-less universe, abstracting the vastness of a greater cosmos into tangible, habitable, space in the quest for orientation and meaning.
