Huning's Highland Addition To The City Of Albuquerque: A Description And Analysis Of Architectural And Neighborhood Development With Recommendations For Preservation, Susanna Eden

Architecture and Planning ETDs

This thesis is an historical survey of the Huning's Highland neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico from 1881 to 1924 and an architectural analysis of the houses built there during that time. Newspapers, booster literature, city directories, insurance maps, the minutes of town council meetings, and other official town records, along with reminiscences of long-time city residents, were used to piece together a picture of neighborhood life in Huning's Highland. The picture that appears is of a prosperous middleclass, “Anglo” suburb, sharing the amenities of civilized life with New Town Albuquerque. Selected houses are discussed as they illustrate the developments in …

Methods Of Studying Lifestyles And Residential Energy Consumption, Suzanne Elizabeth Kenealy Miller

Architecture and Planning ETDs

An analysis of lifestyles and energy consumption methods is presented. Three approaches to energy conservative housing are discussed: structural, design, and lifestyle. Of the three approaches, this thesis addresses lifestyle only. Among the major lifestyle factors having impact upon residential energy utilization are family factors, household management, attitudes, knowledge, and socioeconomic status. Change and coincident factors also affect energy use. The gross energy consumption method is described and examples of actual studies are given. The method is evaluated and the type of data derived is discussed. Methods which normalize energy consumption (i.e., divide by square footage) are analysis of relationships …

A Planning Process For The Design Of Urban Growth Management System, Marwan Hanna Khoury

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The management and control of urban growth issue has emerged as a major public concern in many communities. Planners for these communities must seek new ways by which management systems are designed, such that the controls, are rationally derived, explicit and legally defensible. One such way is outlined in this thesis. Based on normative planning theory, a functional design method for the growth management system is offered. Steps at each of the three levels of planning values formulation, means identification and effectuation; are suggested. The steps are matched against one "real-world" example, Albuquerque that recently took measures towards a growth …

Tools For Decision Making In Churches, Richard Rees Pugh

Architecture and Planning ETDs

This is a handbook about communication. The book explains how to acquire, organize and display information about the ''physical and spiritual" existence of the church in order to help church groups understand themselves and to share that understanding with others in making decisions about the built environment. The book comes out of my experience first as a church layman and later from my experience as an Architectural Programmer, helping groups through pre-architectural and architectural decisions. In both the layman's and the professional's role, I shared in the struggles which people experience in making decisions about the built environment which will …

The Architectural Legacy Of Archimedes Russell, Evamaria Hardin

School of Architecture - Theses

The geographical location of Syracuse, its industry and especially its location on the Erie Canal, were factors propitious for its growth and development as an industrial center within New York State.

After the Civil War, Syracuse experienced a building boom which offered unusual possibilities for the builder-architect. Although there was an increase of formal education for architects during the second half of the nineteenth century, many regional architects learned their trade in the office of an architect or of a builder-architect; the distinctions were not always finely drawn.

One of these architects was Archmedes Russell, who came to Syracuse from …

Solar And Conventional Buildings: The Interface With The Electric Utility, J. Mark Hannifan

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Solar energy has emerged as a viable power source that in the near future may provide a significant portion of the energy needs for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. However, several financial and institutional hurdles must be cleared before the solar industry can establish a competitive edge with conventional energy sources. Second only to cost, the major concern of the industry at present is the interface between the solar consumer and the electric utility. Solar energy, because of its erratic nature, is not an ideal technological match with the electric utility, particularly when solar customers use electricity as their …

Post Occupancy Evaluation: An Overview And A Case Study Of Married Student Housing At The University Of New Mexico, Thomas William Parks

Architecture and Planning ETDs

An investigation is made of user-oriented evaluation research in architectural design. The need today for evaluation of many architectural projects is demonstrated. The role which evaluation can play in the design cycle and the need for effective communication of evaluation research findings to architects are examined. A post occupancy evaluation case study of the University of New Mexico's Married Student Housing is presented which focuses primarily on residents' satisfaction with physical design related issues. Research findings are organized in terms of the hierarchy of housing needs suggested by Clare Cooper. It is shown that this project is highly successful in …
