Abstract

This thesis explores how an interdisciplinary approach may inform architectural production. Rhetoric may be applied to architecture with the intention of exploring how you more clearly communicate meaning in space, form and experience. In conjunction, the art of assemblage is a unique artistic technique revealing important issues in architectural process. Dialogue between the ideas inherent in these two studies is mutually beneficial and establishes a foundation for architectural design that prioritizes the concepts of place and meaning.
