Density Measures And Their Relation To Urban Form, Ernest R. Alexander, K. David Reed, Peter Murphy

The relationship between density and urban form is explored using four dwelling types: Single family detached housing, row housing, low-rise garden apartments and high-rise apartments. Ninety-nine typical site layouts of the four dwelling types were developed systematically. Changing variables included unit size, lot size and block configuration. The relation between these variables and the resulting densities was analyzed using regression and multiple correlation analysis. Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

This research stresses the artistic potential of the roadway through the introduction of formal design elements. Using landscape, median, spanning, roadway and enclosure within highway planning and design, the design professional can introduce a new vocabulary to the process of highway construction. Presents a range of design possibilities which, when combined with the technological requirements of a highway system, can lead to a unique and identifiable "design aesthetic." Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

A study of design alternatives for a lunar base settlement. The research explores the lunar environment requirements, program development, goal identification and processes involved in lunar design solutions. The report is the result of a 1987 graduate design studio at the UWM Department of Architecture. Graphic presentations involved the use of computer-aided design techniques (CAD). Highly illustrated.
