An endemic architecture: On building culture between solid and fluid matter

The study and thesis documents fundamental research into what may be termed architectural endemicity, being the mediation between natural phenomena and architecture. It is an investigation into how they may mutually conduct one another to form buildings of solid matter and climates of fluid matter to engender inimitable site specificity in architecture. Acknowledging a commonly expressed notion of a loss of architectural sensitivity towards the environment, the study proceeds to seek out the lost and attempt to figure out how to foster a situation for the lost to reemerge in architectural creation through studies of changeable elements, ie Sun, wind and water.
