Somehow writing four was way easier than only writing one,
-1 Our forerunners settled the Great lakes region by harnessing the power of the watershed, the thesis will investigate forgotten / abandoned mill sites in order to explore themes within Canada’s architectural, cultural and environmental history, as well as speculate on its future potentials. The focus of the thesis will be on the possibility for these mills to be rediscovered as hydroelectric power plants creating a decentralized power plant in the form of a network of Micro, mini, and small Hydro stations throughout the region.
-2 Building as tool, Industrial architecture in a post-industrial society, industrial heritage and the potential for industrial buildings the thesis will examine industrial architecture and its key role in the making of vacated industrial centers into new urban city districts, specifically within the context of The West Harbour in the Hamilton, Ontario.
-3 Architecture as machine, responsive architecture within canadian climates, the thesis will confront the augmentation of computer systems, environmental pressures and machinery into the built environment in order to generate a flexible model that embraces north America’s intimate relationship with the machine.
-4 Architecture as tool, throughout human history humans have devised tools for which to do labour, hunt, and survive, extending the capacity, capabilities, strength and durability of the human body. The thesis will examine the role of architecture in its most elemental form, as a tool, an extension of the human body for which to survive, do work, and affect the natural world.
methinks there is a theme here..
