Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Architecture. Architecture. Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2008. Leaf 58 blank. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 54-55). The goal of this document is to outline the trajectory in which I have been working the past several years. I would like to comment and detail the production of several projects, including Site Nine: Indefensible Structures, Text 11: Site Translations, Study For Casablanca: Maps For Access And Improvised Housing, and Lavon, Texas - Levittown, New York. The reach of the projects, and it is perpetually adaptive to new concerns, is not to assign a space between art, architecture, and planning. Even though there is certainly space which the works will invoke between these areas. This document and the projects would question why there should be such a space and what it could achieve. It may be possible to see at such a point that assigning nomenclature can be considered a quick task and the value is the content of a word, not by the name by which it is called. This is not to say meaning and context cannot be derived from the title of disciplines or fields, they in fact provide considerable insight. The aforementioned projects, and those to follow, would look into the social climates of a location and only after considerations of the political, economic, and communicative indicators, courses of intervention would be developed. I would like to note, ever more in the continuation of these works, the implementation of intervention becomes less so. The projects, in chronology, quietly move from methods of production to methods of research. This was due to an increasing appeal to the cultural sensitivity of any and all methods of production, in both domestic and foreign capacities. by Edgar Pedroza.
