Abstract:
The proposal for the Greyhound Restaurant/Lounge is my personal exploration of communication in architecture; communication of meaning through forms and communication of meaning through time. The transformation of the former Bus Terminal, located at the corner of Webster Street and Jefferson Boulevard in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, offers a variety of opportunities to explore ways in which communication occurs. Understanding what is being communicated depends on how an individual interprets the building more so than on the intentions of the designer.
