A Leprosy Research Center In India, Vinoobhai Baboobhai Amin

Architecture Master Theses

With an estimated number of about 2.2 million cases in India, leprosy is one of our (Indian) important public health problems. With great regret, we have to accept the fact that the present knowledge of leprosy by our people is very, very meager.

The Neighborhood As A Focus For Development, Bob Neil Scher

Architecture Master Theses

One of the purposes of urban design is an understanding, a knowledge of the urban environment. The purpose of this investigation, a thesis is urban design, was to discover strong, recurrent patterns within the city relevant to urban design as a discipline. It was found that such patterns did exist, in the form of population-migration patterns.

A theory of urban development/redevelopment was constructed as an enhancement of the already existent social pattern, in an attempt to enrich the urban experience within the structure of an average large metropolitan agglomeration.
