Abstract:
"This thesis is a themed entertainment master planning exercise. This exercise has been performed to create a themed entertainment complex with the intent to create a space where guests from around the world can be entertained and educated about automobiles and motorsports. This master plan will investigate the influences of pure form and massing asking the question: Can the sculptural nature of the built environment, on its own, inform the story of Guest Flow Circulation as it reveals visual iconography and way-finding clues? The resultant forms will aim to produce the thrills of swooping turns - the speed, sound, and movement through a landscape where form and massing hope to become associated expressions of meaning connected to program and use." --Abstract
