70 Mph: Place And Perception In The Automotive Landscape, Erik Nathaniel Hall
70 Mph: Place And Perception In The Automotive Landscape, Erik Nathaniel Hall
Masters Theses
This project explores the adverse impact of the automobile in regards to perception and the resultant disconnect from environment exhibited in the contemporary suburban landscape. It posits that the way we move through the world affects the way we understand the world, both physiologically/sensually, and philosophically/ethically. The automobile, and its landscape, prejudices vision as a means of cognition. Specifically, it is biased to the perceptual characteristics of vision at high speed- that is, a decreased cone of vision, with a consequent increase in the total area of the peripheral visual field. This peripheral field is characterized by flattened, monocular perception, …
Integrating And Applying Conservation Development Principles To Commercial Sites: A Business Park In Bristol, Tn, Christopher Lee Chandler
Integrating And Applying Conservation Development Principles To Commercial Sites: A Business Park In Bristol, Tn, Christopher Lee Chandler
Masters Theses
Abstract
Throughout history, land has been treated as man's platform for development and expansion into new territories and the basis for our current infrastructure. Understanding existing properties and characteristics of the land has become imperative to successful development and strong networks that connect human beings to one another. As we discover ever changing natural tendencies, we are prone to rethinking the way in which the land is engaged from a developmental and conservational standpoint. Coexisting with natural processes of the earth and the land is of utmost importance to the success of human systems using it as a base for …
A Phenomenological Study On The Natural Rhythms Of Light: Implications On Educative Design In Haiti, Jonida Paqesor Shehu
A Phenomenological Study On The Natural Rhythms Of Light: Implications On Educative Design In Haiti, Jonida Paqesor Shehu
Masters Theses
This thesis explores a design project concerned with the relationship between the person and nature in the context of achieving a state of symbiosis between the two – a state which can be reached through highlighting the relationship between the person and the rhythmic characteristics of natural light. The project originated from a concern with modern society’s constant separation from the natural environment and the resulting sense of placelessness often experienced in the spaces created. In response, a desire arose to investigate the effect that natural light has on the person and contribute to the design of naturally enriched spaces …

Planning Growth - Preserving Character, Nathan Daniel Oliver
Masters Theses
Gateway communities are the towns, cities, and communities that border public lands such as national and state parks, wildlife refuges, forests, historic sites, wilderness areas, national forests, and other public lands. They offer scenic beauty and a high quality of life that attracts millions of Americans looking to escape traffic congestion, fast tempo and uniformity of cities and suburbs. Gateway communities provide food, lodging, and business for Americans on their way to public lands. They serve as portals to public lands and therefore play an important role in defining the park, forest, or wilderness experience for many visitors. Their beauty, …
Strip Development And Community: Maintaining A Sense Of Place, Andrew Kelly Carr
Strip Development And Community: Maintaining A Sense Of Place, Andrew Kelly Carr
Masters Theses
Abstract
Strip development eases communities’ economic troubles by providing jobs and cheap goods at the expense of a sense of place and social fabric. Four factors are critical to the dissolution of place in strip development: mobility, standardization, specialization, and technology. (Randolph Hester)
Mobility gives people the freedom to move over distances with little constraint; a consequence of this is a produced sense of rootlessness within many communities.
Standardization creates placelessness in communities by the repetition of form and function.
Specialization diminishes comprehensive knowledge of place and complex social and ecological thinking.
Technology may divorce people …
Inhabiting The Periphery: A Dialogue Between Individual And Site, Robert Oliver Kown
Inhabiting The Periphery: A Dialogue Between Individual And Site, Robert Oliver Kown
Masters Theses
What is a periphery? We can think about this word in more than one way. First off, peripheries are places that exist as spatial conditions in cities, They indicate edges and places that have been left behind. Spaces that have lost their meaning. But in this thesis I will use the word in another way as well. What does the periphery mean for us today? What are those parts of our lives that have been marginalized, and how can we begin to reclaim what has been lost? It is the aim of this thesis to address these issues of the …
