Water Organic Architecture
Order Description
The 6,000 word Thesis (interchangeable with ‘dissertation’) must be academically referenced with bibliography. The topic will explore an area of particular relevance to your own personal interests and the discipline of Interior and Spatial Design.
– Research, develop and write a 6,000 word Thesis that explores a topic that you have chosen (Water Organic Architecture), which connects to Interior and Spatial Design.
– Demonstrate sustained, systematic critical research using relevant resources.
– Use appropriate methods of analysis, enquiry and experimentation
– Demonstrate the distinction between your own ideas and those of others through the use of Harvard Referencing.
– Try to find case studies, which you can visit and document in person and think about how evidence from your various perspectives links to the concept you, are writing about. Consider the narrative and how the physicality of your observations can materialize through words and different formats – poetry, prose, play?
– You will need to address the academic context for the subject you have chosen. Who has written about the subject and what have they said? Try to map out some of the different approaches or debates around the subject in order to help you think about your own position. Ensure you have a balance of sources and try to keep internet sources and websites to a minimum – consider books and journal articles.
This dissertation is to continue my last thesis proposal topic of “Water Organic Architecture”. I would like to add some design information and point of view from my last term project “Serenity” to this dissertation (which I have uploaded my project’s information online) and to relate with the topic of “Water Organic Architecture”.
