LDS community church

Landscape urbanism is the methodology that lead to this thesis project. The research semester was spent studying the fabric of South Jordan, Utah and from those studies emerged the idea of creating the LDS Community Church. Landscape urbanism is a theory that looks at the role that architecture plays with its surroundings and how those surrounding inform the final architectural result and vice versa. The architecture that emerges is a direct response to the forces acting upon the site. South Jordan was studied on the macro level and then the specific site of 3200 West 11400 South was studied on the micro level.
