An exchange of design principles

Abstract

Across the globe, different cultures have adopted methods of construction and architectural design that have become established design principles. These principles often transcend cultures and provide architects with lessons on successful methods of how to design a building or structure. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate a synthesis of design principles from a variety of cultures that create architecture that is sustainable, facilitates community activities, and promotes economic development. I will compile my field research from my recent study abroad experience and use my analysis of architectural sites visited to identify successful design strategies that can be applied to the design of the new Chesterton Market.
