Thesis statement

Architecture as Medication

From the Modular to LEED standards, there lies perpetual connections between simplifying our understandings of the human body and adding complexities to our buildings. As these practices are further advanced, I feel that their paths will eventually intersect. What becomes of this will be a new phenomenon.

It is our individual nature to be self sustained organisms, composed of elaborate systems that are worlds of their own. Science has deciphered these systems in order to deduce history, trying to find the ultimate answer. Although we have come so far, there is no final truth. Artists have interpreted the truth socially, in whatever form they saw fit. Politicians have acted on their own preconceptions of what to believe and created economics, law, and religion. Within the field of creating space, these disciplines were forced to work together. However, considering the corrosive aspect of the end product to the earth, we can only assume that the field has relied on a number of misconceptions. When I think of a doctor and designer working together on a project, the process seems to have promise in being concise and well executed. Our knowledge of such things like anatomy and construction will hit pay-dirt, finding vindication in combined-effort's assumed form and function.
