| Title: | Shelf Life: Addressing Consumption, Permanence through Adaptability |
| Authors: | Taylor, Aaron |
| Copyright Date: | 2006 |
| Abstract: | This thesis intends to investigate an architectural response to contemporary
need for a built environment that is adaptable, portable, and flexible in
order to prevent architectural consumption. A vast amount of solid wastes
created by our society are the result of the construction or demolition
of architecture. Initially, we must generate a new attitude towards the
permanence of buildings, and the value of the infrastructure in place. The
intent is to create a system in which portions of an architectural construct
can be manipulated or re placed as deemed necessary by its users, thereby
extending the shelf life of the whole. What architectural response can remove the associations of the commodified object, and retain value over
time? |
