ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to thank my tutors Lawrence Barth and Dominic Papa for their immense support, guidance and inspiration. Every conversation in the past few months has encouraged me to give my best. I am grateful for having had them as my mentors throughout the year and for being the most inspiring tutors. They gave me an opportunity to grow and widen my perspective. It was a wonderful journey of drawing and writing woven together into the design process.

I would like to thank Irenee Scalbert, for the most beautiful and enlightening lectures in Housing and Urban Form that I will cherish forever. My discussions with you regarding Jean Renaudie will always be remembered fondly.

Finally, many thanks to my family for their unconditional love, support and encouragement without which I would not be here.
