59th Street Bridge Museum And Market, Marciano Martin

School of Architecture - All Scholarship

This thesis is to serve as an investigation and response into the architectural issue of scale juxtaposition. In this case the condition which occurs is the result of a modern feat of engineering at one scale, disrupting and imposing itself onto an urban and historical context which is at a more intimate scale. Consequently, there is a loss of identity or spatial relationships in the urban context, which may have existed prior to this modern intervention. It is my goal to take advantage and develop a response to these disparate scales and their images. It is also the opportunity for …

La Política Del Municipio De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

En la década de los años sesenta, con la modernización capitalista de la sociedad nacional, el eje de la acumulación tiende a trasladarse a las ciudades. De esta manera, el proceso de urbanización se acelera significativamente, sobre todo como consecuencia del paso de las formas de acumulación semicoloniales o primario exportadoras a las nuevas de susurbano-industrial, que tienen como base al hecho de que la plusvalía extraída de los sectores minero y agrícola, que anteriormente fluía los centros metropolitanos, comienza a ser acumulada localmente a través del desarrollo, aunque incipiente, de la industria, la banca, el comercio, etcétera (Quijano: 1974) …

De La Manipulación De La Esperanza A La Gestión Del Fracaso: La Triste Historia Del Plan Techo, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La magnitud que ha adquirido el problema de la vivienda en el Ecuador es de reciente data, a pesar de que sus raíces tengan una vigencia temporal mucho más remota. La penuria se agudiza ostensiblemente desde la década de los años sesenta en el marco de la modernización capitalista que vive el país. En este contexto vemos desarrollar un proceso sostenido de acumulación capitalista en el sector de la construcción, atribuible principalmente a que la captación de gran parte del ahorro nacional comienza a dirigirse hacía el sistema mutualista en formación; a que se produce una transformación y/o alianza de …

Infrastructure Planning In Rural Massachusetts, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong, Meir Gross, Robert D. Yaro

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This paper describes the importance of understanding and dealing with the problems of infrastructure planning and maintenance in rural communities. Infrastructure is defined to include roads, bridges, water and wastewater collection and treatment systems, and public buildings and capital equipment. The authors base their findings primarily on the experience of communities in Massachusetts, but these findings are readily applied to the situation of rural communities elsewhere in the U.S.A. and other developed countries. Three major conclusions are presented in the paper: the need for rural communities to develop long-range plans for infrastructure maintenance and finance; the need to develop effective …

From Mill Town To Mill Town: The Transition Of A New England Town From A Textile To A High-Technology Economy, John Mullin, Jeanne Armstrong, Jean Kavanagh

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This article describes and analyzes the economic transformation of Maynard, Massachusetts. Located twenty-six miles west of Boston, Maynard was the home of the world's largest woolen mill. In 1950 the mill closed and 1,200 jobs were lost. During the next ten years, the town gradually recovered as the mill became the home of several innovative companies. Ultimately, the mill became the headquarters for the world's largest manufacturer of minicomputers. The circle is now complete: the mill is full and houses a company that claims a "world's largest" designation. The article analyses the rise and fall of the American Woolen Company; …

Evolución Del Espacio Urbano Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Se revisa someramente la historia urbana del país, a partir de la conquista española, pues allí se inicia la oposición ciudad-campo, con predominio de la primera, Se presentan hipótesis generales sobre el tema que requieren ulterior investigación y se divide el trabajo en dos partes: la primera sobre conceptos teórico-metodológicos, y la segunda los periodos de esta historia con sus rasgos característicos, con especial énfasis en el análisis interurbano.

Evolución Del Espacio Urbano Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Con este trabajo pretendemos realizar un recorrido breve y somero de la historia urbana de nuestro país, desde la conquista y la colonización española hasta nuestros días. Lo hacemos a partir de la colonización, española porque consideramos que ella marca el inicio de la separación, por oposición, de la ciudad con el campo. Una oposición que surge desde la ciudad y con predomino sobre el campo; cuestión que permite, desde este momento, el análisis particularizado de la ciudad, como proceso y evolución propia. Y lo hacemos hasta nuestros días por cuanto nos permite, aunque a grosso modo, tener una visión …

El Proceso De Urbanización En El Ecuador (Del Siglo Xviii Al Siglo Xx). -Antología-, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Sin lugar a dudas una de las principales características de la historia del Ecuador en los últimos 30 años es el proceso de urbanización que ha experimentado la sociedad nacional.

El debate sobre los problemas derivados de la urbanización, aunque reciente, se ha venido constituyendo cada vez más en referencia obligada para la reflexión acerca de una temática que en gran medida sigue siendo desconocida.

Esta antología, que en ningún caso se propone agotar el tratamiento del tema, esta dirigida tanto a especialistas, como a estudiantes y público en general interesados en comprender aquellos aspectos relevantes y de mayor interés …

Rejuvenation For Manhattan's West Side, Richard J. Kahn

Architecture Senior Theses

It is the intent of this proposal to redevelop a specific waterfront site, rejuvenating the area into one that people will want to be a part of, rather than shy away from. It will be through thorough exploration and experimentation of this special site condition (pier) that this will be achieved. It is intended that this proposal will develop a catalyst that willl generate further development along the zone of the water's edge. This catalyst will attempt to break away from the form and function of the existing pier buildings, which will make the further development of these sites a …

East Village Housing New York City, Alice J. Raucher

Architecture Senior Theses

The intent of this thesis is to develop low-rise, high density urban housing which will provide its occupants with the basic amenities of light, air, and green space, while reconstructing and extending the fabric of New York City into an area of the East Village.
There exists in the East Village, as in other areas of Manhattan, an uneasy relationship between the low-scale rowhouses and tenements [...] and the monolithic architecture of the superblock housing developments of the 1950s. These rowhouses and tenements [...] provided few amenities for its inhabitants.
The proposed development would investigate new housing prototypes for a …

O Desenvolvimento Urbano De Quito Entre Suas Crises Urbanas Mais Recentes, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

O desenvolvimento urbano de Quito apresenta, durante o último século, dois momentos cruciais: o primeiro, que vai desde a revolução liberal até o pós-guerra, caracterizado como um processo de transformações de notável envergadura e importância e o segundo, o único comparável em magnitude com o anterior, que se vive desde a modernização capitalista da década dos sessenta até hoje. Sem dúvida alguma, estes períodos deixaram profundas marcas no desenvolvimento posterior da cidade, a ponto de que o estudo e/ou planejamento de Quito atual e imediatamente futuro não podem desconhece-Ios sob nenhum pretexto.

A origem de cada um destes períodos pode …
