Planning Masters Professional Reports
Development in Dallas would be more compact and multi-modal if the city refocuses its parking policies away from parking quantity to parking quality. To validate this hypothesis, this professional report compares and contrasts parking policies and best practices of municipalities that have adopted alternatives to standard minimum parking requirements to draw suggestions to present to the City of Dallas. Current parking policy in Dallas has a simple minimum parking requirement (MPR) based on the size and type of use, calculated by recommended industry standards circa 1950 and adjusted through the mid 1980's as automobile ownership has increased. This has made …

Greyfield Site Redevelopment Analysis, Christopher J. Shacklett, Andrew Whittemore
Planning Masters Professional Reports
This report provides a framework for the research and analysis that will assist in understanding the issues leading to the decline of once successful shopping centers into greyfields. Inner-ring suburbs in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex deal with this issue which is caused by aging centers and infrastructure coupled with increased competition from newer, faster growing suburbs offering increased financial incentives and newer shopping centers. Through an analysis of varying definitions of greyfields, a definition that represents the most typical greyfield sites affecting inner-ring suburbs will be chosen. Based on the chosen definition, this report focuses on two sites …

A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall
A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Design is most often carried out as an aesthetic exercise in visual affect and spatial treatment. If more stimulation of other human senses (orienting, auditory, smell / taste, visual, and haptic) were to occur in a place, perhaps the place would become more meaningful and memorable. In an effort to address this hypothesis, a Sensory Garden was designed, and hopefully will be implemented. As far as can be determined no other gardens in the United States exist which were designed explicitly to stimulate all the senses. There is a Fragrance Garden at the Strybing Arboretum at Golden Gate Park in …
