Quality Of Life, Perceptions Of Change, And Psychological Well-Being Of The Elderly Population In Small Rural Towns In The Midwest, Rodrigo Cantarero, James J. Potter

Architecture Program: Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity

This study examines the quality of life of the elderly residents of two rural Nebraska towns, both having experienced a large increase in population. The study examines how the residents’ perception of changes in the community affect their view of quality of life, and identifies determinants of psy-chological well-being for these elderly residents. The results are compared to the non-elderly resi-dents of these two communities for purposes of contrast. A face-to-face survey of the residents addressed physical, social/cultural, economic, and service issues. Both correlation and regression were used to analyze the data. The quality of life of the elderly residents …


Community Satisfaction, James J. Potter, Rodrigo Cantarero 2014 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Community Satisfaction, James J. Potter, Rodrigo Cantarero

Architecture Program: Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity

Community has been described as an original phenomenon, namely, the local unity of a group of human beings who live their social, economic, and cultural lives together and jointly recognize and accept certain obligations and hold certain standards of value in common. Satisfaction can be defined as the discrepancy between aspiration and achievement, ranging from the perception of fulfillment to that of deprivation. Satisfaction is highly personal, heavily influenced by past experiences and current expectations. Finally, we can say that the term community satisfaction refers to people’s subjective evaluation of their own well-being as measured by how well their local …

This corridor plan was jointly commissioned by the Village of Berrien Springs and Oronoko Charter Township in response to the 2013 findings of the M-139 Corridor Improvement Taskforce. The twelve appointed members of this taskforce included Village and Township officials as well as a range of private property owners and citizens.

In anticipation of expanded water and sewer service, a major indoor equestrian arena, and various private and university development prospects, the taskforce identified the following challenges and opportunities that deserve attention and planning:

Creating A Religious Properties Database For The City Of New Bedford: An Analysis Of Best Practices And Available Systems, Elizabeth C. Cardarelli

Historic Preservation Capstone Projects

This policy analysis was written to provide the city of New Bedford, the Waterfront Historic Area League, Inter-church Council of Greater New Bedford, and the congregations with possible database systems to consider in creating their historic religious properties database. It also provides the best methodology to use when choosing a database. Deciding on who will be involved in the choosing process, determining a budget, and listing the mandatory requirements the database should provide are all important to consider in the decision making process.

National Register Nomination: The Mccloughan Mansion, 315 Old Allerton Road, Annandale Nj 08801, Leaha Bovino

Historic Preservation Capstone Projects

The McCloughan Mansion is an Italianate-style house located in Annandale, New Jersey on five acres of land and includes two outbuildings, a small barn and a second dwelling. The mansion was constructed between 1860 and 1870 and is significant under Criterion C in the area of Architecture. The McCloughan Mansion is an excellent example of Italianate design executed in brick masonry that is uncommon in the architectural context of the town of Annandale. Furthermore, repetitive segmental-arched architectural elements distinguish the McCloughan Mansion from typical orthogonal implementations of Italianate design, and give this property an iconic identity. The property retains a …

Renee integrated coarse stucco and horizontal

corrugated metal in white and black as a pattern

signifying the major spaces. Over the entry and

in the main construction space, she played with

pattern in the curtain walls by replacing some

glass panels with metal panels that are orange, the

YouthBuild school color. The orange color is very

prominent in the main entry and the construction

facility, emphasizing the importance of construction

to the YouthBuild philosophy.

Currently, there are not any fire stations within an appropriate range for development on the Drift Road site. This will make it essential for a proposed development to contain a pond and pump onsite for immediate fire control until further assistance arrives. Should municipal water not be available for residents on this site, private well systems will need to be built on each property, a minimum of 100 feet away from any septic system.

This market essentially combines a marketplace with an existing or new industrial building. The hybrid created results in space that has daily retail sales and hours, as well as other goods available at other times. The industrial aspect typically acts as the anchor, as the market’s activities help attract a different group of consumers at other business times. An example of this would be a seafood supply warehouse that also provides dining and entertainment as a nightlife destination.

Current Dichotomies: Seven Reminders To Contemporary Architects, Marcelo Spina

Ever since Robert Venturi’s influential book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, the word complexity has been in the horizon of architecture as a form of imaginative progress and cultural relevance. In the mid 80s and under the influence of the post-structuralist work of Jacques Derrida, the deconstructive project in architecture aimed to create visual complexity through formal collision, fragmentation, and dislocation of existing canons.

In 1945, Arts and Architecture announced that they would be publishing the designs of eight case study houses that envisioned the “house—post war.” These infamous Case Study Houses grew from an initial eight to thirty-six designs over twenty-two years—some built, some imagined.

The Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was crowned by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) as the tallest structure built by man. So striking was the achievement that the CTBUH, in their yearly awards ceremony, created a special category titled "Global Icon" to do justice for the achievement.
