    Rupturing the terrain vague
    (2011) Ho-Tong M; Ryan, Peter
    This thesis started with the above statement made by Jean Nouvel in conversation with Jean Baudrillard on the metamorphosis of architecture. This project set out as both a manifestation of the above philosophy, using it as an approach towards making architecture, and as an exploration to test whether architecture can really achieve this - to create a human appreciation of what is, of what is not plainly seen and of existing in space and in a built world which exists with respect to a geological layer applied to all cities across the earth. In this thesis, architecture is explored as a tool for revelation; specifically of existing situations and scenarios in the built world which are overlooked or unappreciated.
