With the completion of the readings and the development of my lexicon in place, it is time to reveal some of my thoughts and inspirations toward the semester's work.

I entered the summer with a broad idea of my interests and fascinations within the discipline and through self investigation coupled with summer readings, I've begun to hone in on certain concepts for the development of my thesis. More specifically, my general interests include history and psychology. More specifically, I'm interested in Classical and Renaissance history and space psychology. More specifically, I'm interested in the idea of nostalgia and memory and how it is elicited by design, captured, or recreated.

With that in mind, I plan to begin my thesis journey with an investigation of memory and space. I'm fascinated by the emotive qualities of the mind and how we hold onto certain memories of time and space, while excluding others, and how space, design, and environment shape those memories and recollections.
