Item The Bay Art Gallery: Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida(Texas Tech University, 1990-05) Archer, Melvyn E.The universe is built and operates as a hierarchy of dynamic system and sub-systems. Nature can be described as a large ordered system which remains stable, while its sub- systems contain variety, diversity and uniqueness. The human mind can perceive the whole system of nature only because it is a part of the order of systems. Architecture, born of the human mind, should be as unique as any other sub-system while its essence should contribute to the wholeness of natures system. The intent of this thesis is to produce architecture as a sub-system that gives meaning in part to the whole of a larger system. This will be achieved through simulation of natural cycles, rhythms and patterns. The implementation of which will be by means of natural materials, textures and colors.
