Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Architecture. Architecture. Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1989. Includes bibliographical references (p. 207-211). How are dimensions used in order to arrive at a relative relationship between the figure and the ground? How do dimensions structure the field? How do they generate movement, change,continuity, discontinuity. transparency, alternations ...... ? This thesis attempts to answer these few basic questions. Basic in that they all relate to an understanding of organization. The premise is that the strength of a good physical environment lies in its organization. in the basic relationships between the parts. The organization then becomes a support for further transformation. This thesis is also on observation. What is observation? What does it do? How do architects observe? The premise here is that learning how to observe or developing observational methods may be the only way to get us out of the chaotic, singular, non-committal, disassociative state of today's built world. This thesis is an observational exercise focusing on dimensional stability as an organizing principle. by Bernard Deffet.
