Residents’ Perception Of Environmental Performance In New Urbanist Landscapes In North Texas: Learning From Addison Circle, Austin Ranch And Hometown, Riza Pradhan
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
New Urbanism movement has been shaping the cities and suburbs in increasing numbers in the US for more than three decades. The Congress for New Urbanism is promoting compact, mixed-use, interconnected, and walkable models for sustainable development. In recent years, the environmental implications of New Urbanism have not been sufficiently addressed in the literature (Spirn, 2000; Waldheim, 2010). However, the Charter of New Urbanism (Talen, 2013) highlights the importance and relevance of environmental factors. Overall, the literature lacks sufficient evidence about the environmental performance of the New Urbanist landscapes, specifically in the Dallas- Fort Worth (DFW) region. The purpose of …

Dream And Reality: The Selective Implementation Of The Kessler Plan In Dallas, Molly A. Plummer
Dream And Reality: The Selective Implementation Of The Kessler Plan In Dallas, Molly A. Plummer
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This research examines George Kessler’s 1911 A City Plan for Dallas to understand the gaps between the ideals of the City Beautiful era plan and impact on the realized physical design of the city. As inequality rises in our urban centers (insert citation), it is increasingly important for us to understand our social and political environments that shaped the landscapes that physically reinforce that inequity. As stated by Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar in their history of Central Park, “its meaning as a public institution also has two dimensions: its political character as property and its cultural character as an …

Assessment And Attitudes: Biodiversity In Urban Landscapes Of North Central Texas, Gray Harrison Kerry A.
Assessment And Attitudes: Biodiversity In Urban Landscapes Of North Central Texas, Gray Harrison Kerry A.
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
North Central Texas is expected to undergo increased population growth and density inside and outside of current municipal boundaries. As development increases to meet the needs of the growing population, the landscape is transformed, which results in the loss or homogenization of species (McKinney, 2006; Vitousek, Mooney, Lubchenco, & Melillo, 1997). This study examined how landscape architects can quickly assess biodiversity on a project site before and after construction without specialized knowledge or skills. Three methods were used to collect data for this study: interviews, a DNA assessment of soil fungi, and a rapid biological assessment (BioBlitz). Two groups were …
Awareness Of Psychological Based Strategies And Modes Of Perception By Landscape Architects In North Texas, Randy Glenn Mclain
Awareness Of Psychological Based Strategies And Modes Of Perception By Landscape Architects In North Texas, Randy Glenn Mclain
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This research presents a study of the diffusion of innovation (Figure 2.8) as it relates to the manipulation of psychological responses through landscape architecture that enhance the user’s experience and achieves the design intent of an outdoor environment. This research also tests the level of awareness of psychological based strategies (Table 1.2, 1.12) and modes of perception (Table 2.1) by landscape architects in north Texas. Design solutions focus heavily on function and/or aesthetics within the profession of landscape architecture (Norman 2009, Ortony 2014). The functional design solution satisfies the rational and analytical mind while the aesthetic design solution facilitates short …

A Study Of The Adaptation Of Parametric Computer Design Among Landscape Architecture Professionals In Texas, Chad Allen Paulson
A Study Of The Adaptation Of Parametric Computer Design Among Landscape Architecture Professionals In Texas, Chad Allen Paulson
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Parametric design utilizes algorithmic-based software to produce computational, generative, responsive, and immersive three-dimensional models for use in landscape architecture, planning, and architecture (Cantrell & Holzman, 2016; Jabi, 2013). Advanced parametric software tools such as Rhinoceros and Grasshopper combine to create a robust system to express a set of customizable parameters that define and clarify the design intent and set of iterative solutions to a design problem (Jabi, 2013). Although parametric design in architecture has been in use for over 15 years, it has not been broadly adopted by the field of landscape architecture. Current professional practices illustrate that software development …

The Viability Of Conservation Subdivisions As Habitat For Urban Carnivores In North Central Texas Suburbs, Sherry Fabricant
The Viability Of Conservation Subdivisions As Habitat For Urban Carnivores In North Central Texas Suburbs, Sherry Fabricant
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
The purpose of this research is to examine perceptions of conservation subdivisions as habitat for urban carnivores in North Central Texas suburbs. This research was conducted through the University of Texas at Arlington; Landscape Architecture Program. The literature review examines the history of conservation subdivisions and their use within North Central Texas as well as their application as an ecological solution to present-day threats to biodiversity with a focus on mammalian apex carnivores. It further explores their use as habitat in the context of urban patches and corridors. Additionally, the practice of bioregionalism was reviewed in contrast to current political …

A Cultural Landscape Assessment Of Glen Garden Country Club In Fort Worth, Texas, Anthony Joseph Wade
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
In 2014, having just been sold, Glen Garden Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas closed for the final time having been open for over 100 years also producing two of the top ten golfers in PGA history, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. This research presents a study in assessing Glen Garden as a cultural landscape. This research seeks to answer two question: Was Glen Garden Country Club a cultural landscape? What is the perception of responsibility for advocacy efforts? This case study was adapted from the Francis model and designed to fit the unique context of Glen Garden Country Club …
