Date of Defense 1997-05-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract Architecture possesses the potential to
elevate one's intellectual and visceral
perceptions from unconscious passings to
informed events. The quest for creating events
involves an intermediary which promotes the
transition from a casual involvement to an
active engagement. This intermediary role is
that of the experience. By imposing a
presence, or creating a sense of place,
architecture awakens the mind and stirs the
soul. Doing this, the architecture is raised to a
higher order, revealing a significance that is
true, as something more, not as something
else. The making of events through the
experience fulfills the aspirations of
architecture to unearth the events that dwell in
the interaction between place and occasion.
