THESIS. PART 2

Part 1 of my thesis deals with identifying a story, and demonstrating how our view towards water has changed within modern culture as a whole - this is so easily demonstrated within the abandoned docklands of most major modern cities today. The second part of my thesis writing explores architecture and architects that show elemental understanding of the importance of water within given cultures, religions or societies; manifested by the buildings they design. I also embark on an exploration of Carlo Scarpa, and his strive to physically manifest the narrative and struggle between venice as a city, it's inhabitants and the water that provides it's foundation and life lines.
