About the Thesis v.0.1.
Currently I'm working on my Masters Thesis at Carleton University School of Architecture, (Ottawa, Canada).
so what the hell is the thesis?..
thesis (n) [thee-sis] or [vee-sis] (as one of my friends likes to say.)
in achitecture, this is a thing you need to do (or go through) to graduate (get your masters, at least at Carleton U). This 'thing' essentially consists of two major components: (1) written component, and (2) design component.
Both components supposed to be interrelated, interconnected, interinfluential, etc., in other words, they are equal and essential parts of the 'thing' which can not exist without either one of the compnents... in other words, they're equally important! no hierarchies, at least this seems to be the vision promoted by the school but not always fulfilled by the students...
... before starting, select a topic, or at least define your area of interest. This should be framed in a form of a question (like: Why in North America traditional raw houses have flat roofs?) or hypothesis (like: Haussman was more driven not by Napoleon the Third but by the young daughter of the local baker who didn't even know that his little joint is to be cut by a boulevard in the very near future...) Actually, it doesn't really matter what theme you gonna explore - it should be something to keep you excited or just not too bored for at least 8 month, that's all.
then, select your thesis advisor (probably you can guess who that is) and begin!
