Abstract

This thesis will investigate the correct balance between water and architecture that creates a serene environment for the public. Water is seen in today's day and age as a raw material that we humans always have at our fingertips. With the rising population of our country, water is becoming more and more scarce, and it is only a matter of time until our societal norms will need to be reformed to accommodate for the lack of water on our planet. This thesis will show visitors the true beauty of water and its physical characteristics with the purpose of making visitors realize how important water truly is to our health, happiness and survival. The typology used for this thesis is a complex of condos situated on Fall Lake. The project justification is that water is an extremely underrated raw material in today's world that does more than just serve as a necessary resource.
