Abstract:
This thesis is focused on the possibilities of developing an organic architectural aesthetic to be incorporated into a future American sub-division. The thesis does not emphasize the programmatic layout or construction side, but rather the primary focus was about the aesthetic qualities of the architecture and proving its feasibility. The aim of the thesis was to study the psychology of why people choose the environment they live in, and to find new techniques to modify this type of thinking. Furthermore, the thesis presents an alternative style of living based on utopian sustainable principles, and aims to inspire creative thought about the state of contemporary architecture in the design and construction community.
