This 1964 MIT architecture thesis, compiled from three individually authored studies under a shared introduction, examines buildings as integrated systems, looking at how structural and mechanical components can be combined to allow flexible internal rearrangement and future growth.
This 1964 Master of Architecture thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Architecture bound together three individually authored studies under a common title, "Buildings as Systems," with a shared introductory discussion compiled by Professor Eduardo F. Catalano. The introduction addresses systems thinking in general, the application of systems ideas to architecture, and the overall goals and requirements for a building system. One of the three contributions, by Selma Abigadol Hershdorfer, focused on developing a building unit that is structurally and mechanically integrated while allowing maximum flexibility for internal rearrangement and lateral growth. The other two contributions, by Charles Burton Hook and George Norman Hoover, address related aspects of the same systems-based approach to building design. The thesis is held in MIT's DSpace digital repository.
