When confronted with the dilemma of the new engaging the old architects have revisited the same strategies of restoration, program adaptation, gentrification, thematization, and demolition. In search of way to radically recode the method of approach an investigation of the transformations upon the body took place. The operations on the human body provide a new set of interventions that can manipulate an existing host in fascinating ways and can be translated as a set of tactics to operate upon a building. The modes of operation that have been identified have a greater capacity to engage a host condition on numerous levels and present a poignant way to inject cultural, social, and political change. In order to take full advantage of the internal contradictions that lay within society it is of vital importance to explore the "everyday architectural" sector in which we live. This normative context provides a battleground in which subversive tactics can begin to act. It is the physicality of that act and the relationship that transpires that was thoroughly explored. The primary objectives for the thesis project in the spring were to design an architectural project that clearly addressed the physicality of the host and intervention relationship through analysis, methodology development, and conceptual design reaching a level of comprehensiveness that is apparent through the rhetorical, graphic, and physical presentations. To formulate a method that clearly defines when and why each ACT should be applied, expose particular tactics that are favorable to each ACT, and explore the relationship that transpires between the host and the intervention. As well as utilize the narrative as a rhetorical tool that provides clarity and sophistication by purposefully engaging the human experience on a multitude of levels. The cohesiveness of narrative throughout the project phases will provide a richness and formal expressiveness that is necessary for a successful project. The thesis project incorporated a trio of episodes that sought to capture the idiosyncrasy of "normality" through a marriage of mysterious program, narrative, and a matrix of operations. This led to an architectural agenda that instigates questioning of the social, cultural, and political perspective of the context and of the prospective viewer. The representation provided ambiguity and interpretation while instilling clarity to the expressiveness of spatial qualities within each episode. The programmatic choices piggybacked, absorbed, and countered the existing. The narrative was carefully scripted in conjunction with those programmatic amendments. The resultant was a heightened experiential outcome and a provocative architecture of mischievous delight. .
