This thesis proposes the design of an environmental cultural park for the Chesapeake Bay that represents the culmination of a study of form, sustainability, and the history of the Bay. The thesis will also consider how architecture can redefine and mediate edge as it relates to experience of space and spatial connections.

A museum and a series of pavilions will be developed on a 45 ½ acre parcel of land on Maryland's eastern shore of the Bay. The museum will contain exhibits, both temporary and permanent, of a variety of mediums that speak to the life, culture, and history on the Chesapeake Bay

The thesis exploration will look critically at where and how the pavilions are situated on the site to ensure the connection and experience of the structures and the landscape will be enlightening and engaging
