    Abstract
    Research into the Hudson Valley region led to assembling a list of the closed military bases throughout the state of New York. Plattsburgh Air Force base, closed in 1995, was chosen as the site for a fictional and futuristic geoengineering base. Using precedents found in post war military technology, a future geoengineering lab called Gaian Logic Labs, dedicated to geoengineering study, was proposed as the focus for an architectural intervention.; In this thesis, the post-war era was examined in order to study and derive historical connections between post war military technology and architecture. Case studies found that cybernetics played an important role in determining, understanding and manipulating the man-and-machine interface.;
