- Abstract
Research into water in architecture has directed the course of this topic through texts
by Gaston Bachelard and Ivan lllich. This research will explore three facets of water;
the philosophical, the physical and the spiritual. Carlo Scarpa’s Brion Cemetery and
Betsy Damon’s Living Water Park are the prime case studies that this design thesis will
explore. Through insight gained in the research and case studies this thesis will propose
the design of a dwelling for women in crisis in Ottawa.
The inspiration for this thesis comes from several sources. Morris Panych’s play, Girl in
the Goldfish Bowl has provided insight for the design process, while the Apostle John's
story of the Woman at the Well, acts as the archetype of the broken woman. This thesis
proposes a temporary approach toward a solution as well as a long-term proposal. The
design development method suggested is based on field research, including interviews
with both people who work with those in need, as well as the women themselves.
