Current Thesis

We live in a society where the individual becomes so enthralled with
what is happening in their direct view, both physically and mentally,
that they do not contemplate their surroundings.  This has stemmed
from living in a world where the material items grasp our attention
and we become solely focused on those objects.  The objects are
presented as having simple meanings so the ideas behind them are
easily understood, resulting in the individual to only see the superficial
qualities and to not have to further examine the object.  Creating
architecture that engages the individual's deeper thoughts and does
not reveal its identity on the surface will allow for contemplation to
occur and pushes the individual to think critically.




current ideas on the above statement: I think I have to find a specific
part of architecture to pair this idea with to create my thesis project.
I have been reading about the sublime, and I'm currently starting to
read about the contemporary ideas of the sublime.  in addition, I'm
trying to sort through the many areas of architecture and find a path
that I would like to travel down in my development.
