Abstract

This study is designed to reconsider the contemporary role of historical ruins within the urban context of the modern city. Today extant ancient architecture is often conflated with ruins and conceived of as works of art. This thesis contends that these monumental relics can still be utilized in a manner for which they were conceived.
