Designing History: Exploring Architectural Evolution

This thesis aspires to offer a comprehensive approach where aesthetics, historical precedent, and modern technology converge into a Western representation of the built environment. Presented through the design of a contemporary Architecture Museum, the thesis aims to create a close reading of construction, tectonics, representations, and building technologies. Through its Western approach to building, the thesis embraces capitalism and post-modernism as a problem for understanding and critiquing architecture in the post-digital turn.
