Crossection: An Exploration Into Assembling Sustainability, Brian Goehle
Crossection: An Exploration Into Assembling Sustainability, Brian Goehle
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The field of architecture sits at a crossroad today, we have an opportunity to rethink the way we design using new materials and building techniques to reduce the negative impact architecture has on the wider environment. As architects, we must critically look at our constructions methods and question whether they are appropriate and the best choices we could be making for the environment. My thesis has generated a framework that used a set of sustainable materials that outperform their conventional alternatives, to produce affordable and highly efficiently built homes that leave a neutral impact on the environment."
Design Outfit An Interdisciplinary Think + Act Tank, Douglas Jack
Design Outfit An Interdisciplinary Think + Act Tank, Douglas Jack
Honors Capstone Projects - All
The Design Outfit is a real project derived from a conceptual program. The program, or set of concepts from which the project sprang, critically approached three aspects of design practice:
I) reality: how design proceeds from initial sketches to finishing touches, with all steps and scales given comparable attention
II) collaboration: how designers interface with one another and others throughout a design process
III) social awareness: how designers can shape and place their efforts in relation to social significance
The project was designed to explore and test these aspects of design.
Based at Henninger High, a public Syracuse City school …
Urban Engagement: Social Interaction Through Urban Spectacle, Philip Gleason
Urban Engagement: Social Interaction Through Urban Spectacle, Philip Gleason
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Cinematic devices are utilized in film to distort and alter perception, layer events and situation, and manipulate the understanding of time. The translation of such ideas through architecture will lead to the development of a Cinema Center that will function as an extension of film into habitable space. The Cinema Center is intended to be a multi media experience capable of interrupting ones sense of time and place while altering emotion, and perception of the urban environment, much like ones reaction to film. The Cinema Center has the potential to energize the newly developed Boston Greenway by creating new connections …

Architecture Thesis, 2007-Dale Lunan: Virtual Terror Tribunals, Dale Lunan
Architecture Thesis, 2007-Dale Lunan: Virtual Terror Tribunals, Dale Lunan
School of Architecture - Theses
"Tribunals determining the identities of captured terror suspects are necessary. The Geneva Convention of 1949 demands that these tribunals occur as close as possible to the 'theater of operations'. In the War on Terror, the 'theater of operations' can exist anywhere. Therefore, the tribunals must have the capacity to exist anywhere."
This thesis focuses on the possibilities of virtual terror tribunals, as influenced by airplanes, technology, and expanding networks of modern communication.
Vertica 'L' Exchange: Public Interaction And Community Identity Along The 'L' In Chicago, Dena M. Wangberg
Vertica 'L' Exchange: Public Interaction And Community Identity Along The 'L' In Chicago, Dena M. Wangberg
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This thesis proposes to counter the 'genericness' of network identity in public transportation through the transformation of two nodes along the network of the 'L' in Chicago, Illinois.... Through this thesis investigation, the larger network of public transportation infrastructure is particularized by the introduction of new urban program that not only reveals the identities of a given place, but also helps to construct a richer identity throughout the entire network."
Foreign Body Politics: Inflammation Of Micro Cities In The Urban Environment, Ariana Douso
Foreign Body Politics: Inflammation Of Micro Cities In The Urban Environment, Ariana Douso
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This thesis focuses on the intense rigidity of government affordable housing and the homogenization of those designs that condemns them to become foreign bodies in the more flexible surrounding urban environment. Mike Davis categorizes these foreign bodies as modern-day slums. Project housing bracketed in the slum category associates it with the condemning qualities of its predecessors. Such developments are dangerous and unhealthy; they become massive sores on the city. How can this be remedied without offering project developments up to the same fate that their predecessors in the 1930's suffered (slum clearance)? "

Kinder Arch: Promoting Social Responsiveness & Progressive Pedagogy Through Architecture, Rachel Kenney
Architecture Thesis Prep
"It is my contention to design an elementary school that promotes a social responsiveness and progressive pedagogy through architecture that frames a multiplicity of learning environments. Using architecture and space to establish and frame meditated and immediate learning environments through the creation of non-traditional program to explore culturally based learning within a diverse community."
Achieving Gender Equality Through Economic Empowerment, Danielle Sara Pactovis
Achieving Gender Equality Through Economic Empowerment, Danielle Sara Pactovis
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The implication that the social construct of our private lives [stereotyped gender roles associated with the nuclear family] controls the development of the public sphere is an ineffective way to define our role as architects. I propose that standards for equal rights need to be initiated in the public real,. Based on theory from the Modern Movement, architecture has potential as an economic and political means for improving the environment through building and urban planning. My interest in the social implications of architecture has led to exploring embedded gender distinctions in the urban environment, specifically studying how economic markets influence …

Aqua_Culture: Recognizing New Institutional Models For The Reactivation Of Inherent Values In The Urban And Cultural Landscape Of Arecibo, Cynthia M. Dorta-Quinones
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Natural resources have dictated the sucessful development of the city of Arecibo until the dissolution of the city's industrial models. This thesis aims to create a Marine Research and Educational Center that promotes the engagement between the city's urban dwellers and its waterfront in a desire to recover the city's valuable historical landscape while promoting new forms of social revitalization through the means of education.'
Architectures Of Integration: A Study Of Transient Communities, Casey A. Harris
Architectures Of Integration: A Study Of Transient Communities, Casey A. Harris
Architecture Senior Theses
"Through an analysis of the city of Philadelphia, I hope to distinguish various political boundaries that exist and demonstrate that these boundaries are frequently problematic due to their locations, which are often at odds with social boundaries.... I assert that architecture can participate in a commentary on the existing social sondition in West Philadelphia by becoming a physical representation of this condition. Such a representation is possible when the architecture blurs the boundaries between social demographics.
Avalanche: Architecture Of Emergency, Joshua M. Lacasse
Avalanche: Architecture Of Emergency, Joshua M. Lacasse
Architecture Senior Theses
"A buildign for rescue must perform its function seamlessly during times of emergency. The consideration of landscape in terms of an event leads to an evocative solution that best accommodates the program of the project. Using a thorough investigation of spatial, infrastructural, and conceptual networks on the site, I will design a center for avalanche rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire."
The Experience Of A Lifestyle, Brian Lonsway
The Experience Of A Lifestyle, Brian Lonsway
School of Architecture - All Scholarship
This essay traces the evolution of themed environment design from theme parks to a series of new architectural types – Urban Entertainment Destinations, Lifestyle Enhancement Centers, and Lifestyle Villages – as a chronicle of spatial mediation from urban décor to urban design technique. Culled partly through semiotic deconstruction and partly through ethnographic investigation, this history examines the environmental design techniques employed in these spaces in order to better understand the relationship of design practice to the cultural practices of work and leisure.
From spatialized branding strategies to the neo-urbanist configurations of location-based entertainment, leisure/entertainment ventures use these narratively motivated techniques …
