Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate a link between the disciplines of Architecture and Education by using a human developmental theory to set up the framework for a Living Learning Community architectural program. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodology was used to help create the design of the Living Learning Community (LLC). The qualitative research was inspired from the research of psychosocial theorist Arthur Chickering concentrating on the seven vectors of human development. The quantitative research came from an established program set by the University of Memphis. The results of the study revealed a strong link between the disciplines of Architecture and Education.
