Harper, Devin2015-08-202015-08-202015http://hdl.handle.net/10222/60662This thesis proposes coastal architecture interventions in Nova Scotia by focussing on the forces and elements that exist in unique combinations at the coast. Using surfing as a source of inspiration, these interventions mediate the relationship between natural world and the built environment. The combination of this proposed catalogue and in-depth site analysis results in design proposals for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia. These proposals both capitalize on opportunities and address problems specific to coastal building.enArchitectureLawrencetown BeachSurfingCoastal ArchitectureThesis
