Abstract:
"Through an imagined narrative and interpretation of debatable
political moves and reconfigured social norms, this thesis
examines a new human colonization in a post-nuclear winter
scenario. The new settlement poses questions about the re-occurring
cycle of man’s destructive nature, and whether mankind
will ever stop the sequence of repeating history. The new settlement metaphorically revives, and challenges,
mankind with issues such as social structure, political power,
human nature, and the ever-present cycle of time. By depicting
a post-apocalyptic civilization scenario, the projective settlement
can function as a glance of our future, both enabling and
encouraging us to re-examine our current social and economic
situations, moral standards, environmental awareness, and our
built environment."
