Site Planning Study Of Subsidized Housing Projects In Albuquerque, New Mexico, John Platt Friedman

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The need for subsidized housing is a growing problem in both the United States and Albuquerque, New Mexico. This study was based on the assumption that any attempt to meet the need should be based on consumer-oriented housing research. A large sample of residents from three Turnkey III housing projects in Albuquerque were interviewed to gain an understanding of their major housing objectives and to compare site planning at the three sites. A brief summary of the results of this introductory study were as follows:

-respondents had a strong identification with specific areas of the city which influenced their preferences …


Architectural Energy Conservation Design: Mechanical System Manipulation For Solar Application To Multi-Story Construction, Donald Killough Fitzgerald May 1974

Architectural Energy Conservation Design: Mechanical System Manipulation For Solar Application To Multi-Story Construction, Donald Killough Fitzgerald

Architecture and Planning ETDs

At the very time the world economy, particularly the economies of the industrialized countries, is becoming increasingly dependent on the consumption of energy, there is a growing realization that the main sources of this energy, the earth's nonrenewable fossil fuel reserves, will inevitably be exhausted. The eventual solution to this energy problem depends not only on developing alternative sources of energy but also on devising new methods of energy conversion. Solar energy is diffuse, but its abundance makes it a major energy resource for the United States and for the world. Being an incoming source of energy, solar energy is …


Residential Infill Development In The City Of Albuquerque, Bruce Alan Briggs May 1974

Residential Infill Development In The City Of Albuquerque, Bruce Alan Briggs

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Rapid expansion took place in the City of Albuquerque, New Mexico from 1950 through 1970. The new developments often occurred some distance away from the existing city. This pattern of growth has resulted in vacant, undeveloped parcels of land scattered throughout the city. These undeveloped areas reveal the economic disadvantages of annexing new land to the existing city limits when so much vacant land is available for development within.

There are three major problem areas which discuss possible methods for prompting residential development on some of these vacant parcels. Problem area number one discusses one method for lowering land costs …

The Downtown Planning Process: An Analysis Of The Albuquerque Experience, David Walter Klein Jan 1974

The Downtown Planning Process: An Analysis Of The Albuquerque Experience, David Walter Klein

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The thesis began with the question: What process is involved in the shaping of downtown Albuquerque? Consequently, an inductive pattern of research was used in gathering information. For the most part, this information came from a number of Albuquerque City Planning Reports and studies, Urban Renewal Reports, personal inter­views, and field inspection.

The findings indicate that the downtown has been in a continuous state of change throughout its history of development. These changes have taken place in an incremental and continuous manner being modified and altered by trends and influences of the time. An area in change such as this …
