Morphogenesis and ecology as a process of architecture : sea sand management strategies at Hout Bay
Includes bibliographical references. ; This dissertation seeks to understand the boundary between nature and architecture and proposes that architecture has the potential to become a correlation point between man and nature. I would argue that the barriers between man and nature arise from a metaphorical and visual separation of the two components. I have investigated these boundaries through a theoretical desk study, contrasting the morphological, geological, and ecological aspect of nature to the norms and fanatics of architecture. The study found that most manmade objects are created through Euclidean geometry, where form is derived and simplified through a mathematic process, whereas nature develops from adaptation and natural forces that has no limitation and is formed in an immensely complex manner. These two different processes create a geometric boundary between the two resultant forms. As a result of this study I have proposed that we rethink architecture as building in opposition to nature and rather move towards an architecture that facilitates the processes of the natural environment and allows for the interaction between man and nature. This process will allow architecture to act as part of nature, and a point where people can interact with nature, instead of an individual object separate from the natural environment.
