| Abstract [eng] |
This Architecture Master’s Thesis explores the concept of architectural connectivity through a theoretical, analytical and practical investigation of water integration combined with cruise terminal’s role in shaping the port identity. Architectural connectivity is further examined through its typological, spatial, physical, symbolic, and cultural dimensions in the context of Odesa’s Cruise port in Ukraine. The terminal's form is developed through an artistic exploration of local contextual aspects in tandem with a dominant symbolic reference - ‘the loop’. The research establishes inevitable connection between urbanism and architecture and utilizes its interconnection to produce a harmonized and connected maritime transportation complex. The Master’s Thesis consists of theoretical research, design part, graphic material in a form of 5 posters 800x2000 mm, and 2 scale models. |
