Master of Architecture thesis
A sequence in section
A visual thesis developed at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The work unfolds as a sequence of nine sectional chapters.
The document
The thesis is organized as a continuous set of landscape sections. Each spread preserves the relationship between terrain, occupation, and constructed intervention at a territorial scale.
