Acknowledgement:
The passion that was put forth toward this journey couldn’t have been accomplished without the love and care of those close and dear to me. I want to give special thanks to the guidance that Christopher Bardt has given me during thesis as he handed me advise which enabled me to developed a better understanding of the meanings within, and beyond our work as architects. I will like to thank as well my secondary advisor, Pari Riahi, whom has been there from my beginnings in RISD to my fi nal steps, giving great references to analyze and observe.
Lately, I would like to show my gratitude to my classmates Taigo Ita-dani, Kavin Park, Leilei Gao, Thomas Etienne, and Orlando Martinez for all our shared all-nighter and support during bad days and joys from good one. The path toward the fi nal review was not a solitary one, but a shared experience.

Abstract:
The casting of memories as imprints of past events is the conception/ concept/ conceit/ proposition and method of my thesis studies. These castings are the impressions of encap-sulated stories based from remembrance and daydreams of the realm of the in-between, of the imagination. The process of making imprints leads to an understanding the parameters that arrange a building, its construction, and its dialogue with the ground. The memories and stories of my thesis project manifest themselves in apartment housing. The apartment complex proposes a shared experience, which is derived from the rep-resentation of the domestic home depicted in fragments by story habitation. As past events leave impressions on the mind, these memories in turn imprint themselves in to the ar-chitecture of the apartment housing.
