Sport & Cultural Densities: Using Sport for Intruding Formations to create a Cultural Unifier

Sports have become a manifestation of values and traditions in modern American culture. Looking at the relationship between sports and culture, this thesis explores how this relationship realizes itself in the different cultural densities of urban, campus, suburban and rural. Understanding sports as both formal and informal spatial assembly, the relationship between Architecture and culture is explored in the techniques of intruding piercings and tentacles, breaking the dichotomy created by traditional spatial boundaries.
