Abstract
This thesis addresses ways to provide a visual experience through a
sequence of spatial experiences placed within the landscape; in particular to
strengthen the relationship between man and his surroundings. It focuses on the
importance of spaces between the architecture, as opposed to just the buildings
themselves. In studying the connections between spatial and visual forces, this
thesis explores how the buildings interact to contain the landscape. In Oregon
along the Columbia River, small wineries have thrived among the regions agriculture.
This thesis proposes the design of a winery for Troutdale, a small town
outside Portland. Troutdale provides opportunities to strengthen the connection
between community and the larger environment. In addition, a farmers market
will be the interface between the town and the surrounding landscape. Looking
critically at where program elements are situated on the site to maximize the variety
of uses and their direct connection to the landscape.
