Lower Manhattan And The East River: An Investigation Into The Renewal Of The Lower East Side Waterfront, Todd A. Edge
Lower Manhattan And The East River: An Investigation Into The Renewal Of The Lower East Side Waterfront, Todd A. Edge
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the mid-20th Century construction of an elevated highway along Manhattan’s East River, the declining neighborhood of the Lower East Side was removed from its waterfront. As cities begin to re-examine their edges, I feel it is appropriate to address the issues of the Lower East Side community and its former riverfront. Utilizing the recent developments in Manhattan, London, and Chicago as a basis for determining how metropolitan areas are attempting to reconnect with their shores, a set of questions were developed, analyzed, and then applied to the Lower East Side. With the analysis of these questions providing the groundwork …

The Development Of A Computer Program To Co-Ordinate Early Design Stage Information, Bernard Denver
The Development Of A Computer Program To Co-Ordinate Early Design Stage Information, Bernard Denver
Masters
local and global environment is becoming increasingly important. Several methods and procedures have been adopted to encourage designers and engineers to become more environmentally friendly and energy conscious. The advance of computer simulation and modelling of buildings has been successful in addressing potential problems in the design process while providing additional information otherwise not available to the design team. However, it is the purpose of this thesis to use this information and benefits of simulation and modelling at an earlier stage in the design. This thesis endeavours to investigate the requirements and benefits and integrated Early Design Stage program would …

Today's Neighborhood Drugstore, B. Sparano
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This thesis attempts to align architectural critique with the forces that inevitably shape it. For architecture to become a (critical) reality, the architect is forced to take on new roles. She can no longer be (solely) a manipulator of aesthetics, images and signs. She must also, in addition, become the manipulator of underlying forces beneath the surface (i.e. social, political, and economic)."

Mountain Lake Colony Pinewood Estate Garden Historic Preservation, Elisabeth Matthies Barón
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Pinewood Estate is a significant resource in the history of the theory and practice of landscape architecture. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a landscape plan to restore the Pinewood Estate to its historic integrity in order to retain and reflect its past.
In order to determine the criteria used to establish how and to what period the estate should be restored to, the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes was followed. This process involved documenting the existing conditions of the estate. Site inventory and analysis and onsite interviews were conducted. Natural and …

Bridge Lifetime System Reliability Under Multiple Limit States, Allen C. Estes, Dan M. Frangopol
Bridge Lifetime System Reliability Under Multiple Limit States, Allen C. Estes, Dan M. Frangopol
Architectural Engineering
A system reliability approach to minimizing the life-cycle cost of a deteriorating structure offers significant advantages such as a rational assessment of the assumed risk of failure, and an understanding of the importance and contribution of individual components to the overall reliability of the structure. The reliability of a structural system as a whole is the measure of its overall performance. This measure has to include both ultimate and serviceability limit states. A system model of a structure traditionally consists of a series-parallel combination of strength-based component limit states. Serviceability limit states however, can play a tremendously important role in …

Perceptions Of The Quality Of Life Among Residents Of Crete, Nebraska, James Potter, Rodrigo Cantarero, X. Winston Yan, Steven Larrick, Blanca E. Ramirez, Heather Keele
Community and Regional Planning Program: Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity
Crete, Nebraska, (population 6,028) is on the cutting edge of a global economy in which people are migrating to places that offer jobs and a better quality oflife. In the year 2001, when this study was conducted, Crete's local Farmland pork processing plant was expecting to increase its workforce from 1,200 to 1,650. In today's economy, these 450 new jobs are likely to attract workers from around the world. In recent years, for example, workers have come to Crete from Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Croatia, Serbia, Iraq, and from countries throughout Latin America.
Demographic changes like these are having profound impacts …

Architecture As A Social Art: A School Of Visual Art In Washington, D.C., Rachel A. Roellke
Architecture As A Social Art: A School Of Visual Art In Washington, D.C., Rachel A. Roellke
Architecture Thesis Prep
"It is the contention of this thesis that architecture is a vehicle for communication that strengthens community identity by bringing art and the public together.
The thesis research explores the social role of visual art within community, including its social effects, its relationship to the surrounding physical and social context, and the formal elements of visual language. Architecture, as a form of public art, can be explored under the same parameters."
Vorhizomeid: Nodes Of Community Services Connecting Albany, Ny, Andrew Watkins
Vorhizomeid: Nodes Of Community Services Connecting Albany, Ny, Andrew Watkins
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The contention is to reposition terrain vague into the urban fabric recreating a continuum of the urban system while attempting to detract neither from the scale of the infrastructural system, nor that of the human body. Terrain vague muse be approached in a different manner than that of the traditional urban city. Establishing community through terrain vague should be done by measure of the forces, flows, and rhythms of space."

Site As A Measurement Of Place, Creighton Willis
Site As A Measurement Of Place, Creighton Willis
Architecture Thesis Prep
"PLacement and relationship of a city within its physical environment is a dynamic process that is revealed through its architecture and constructed (designed) interventions. The lift of this dynamic process deposits cicatrices, inscriptions, footprints, and artifacts within the city and place. These events inscribed in the landscape of a city reveal this changing relationship of city-environment. The contention is that a new construction within the city can actively manifest the current city landscape while also revealing the history of the place."

The Specific Engagement: A Didactic Center In Collaboration With The Adjacent Children's Museum, Aaron Bancroft
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Architecture transcends the act of 'making space' when it can engage the visitor through the realization of the what had yet to be perceived. This didactic realization can be accomplished through a series of specific moments which relate directly to the entirety of the complete experience. The sequence can be so intense or emotional that the visitor recognizes that they are meant to interact with the architecture through the varying levels of engagement and understanding."
Traces Of Time: Urban Palimpsest And Transformations, Tomas B. Fernandez
Traces Of Time: Urban Palimpsest And Transformations, Tomas B. Fernandez
Architecture Thesis Prep
"I contend that the city is a deeply scored palimpsest that through specific natural, social, and cultural changes reveals its traces of permanence and temporality; therefore, to create in the urban realm is to respond to these vestiges of time through decoding and transformation, as if one was gently manipulating the genome of the city."
Methods Of Perception, Caleb Mitchell
Methods Of Perception, Caleb Mitchell
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Architecture can teach an observer about itself both physically and metaphysically; this can be managed though interactive processes which demand haptic experiences.
(Methodoloy:) To investigate the capacities of mechanistic or interactive devices to reveal meaning (physical and metaphysical); and to eventually develop at full (or large) scale an artifact capable of operating through functional and meaningful interactions with a user."
Autonomy In The Institution: An Institute For Detroit Techno And Rave Culture, Peter Heasley
Autonomy In The Institution: An Institute For Detroit Techno And Rave Culture, Peter Heasley
Architecture Senior Theses
"The institution, in physical form, requires spatial and visual separation to replace its socio-economic history in the urban and physical landscape. An Institute for Detroit Techno will test this assertion through the establishment of techno music as an autonomous art form and the manipulation of the physical context of the project through collage and situating the project along the freeway, which is an autonomous spatial condition within the city."

Evaporative Cooling Availability In Water Based Sensible Cooling Systems, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn
Conference Papers
Recent developments have prompted a review of evaporative cooling technology as an effective means of cooling modern deep plan buildings. Prominent among these developments is the success of high temperature sensible cooling systems, such as chilled ceilings, which require a supply of cooling water at 14 to 18°C. Crucial to the success of evaporative cooling technology, as a significant means of cooling in modern applications, is the ability to generate cooling water, in an indirect circuit, at a temperature which closely approaches the ambient adiabatic saturation temperature or wet bulb temperature. Recent research in this area has shown that it …

Minimim Expected Cost-Oriented Optimal Maintenance Planning For Deteriorating Structures: Application To Concrete Bridge Decks, Allen C. Estes, Dan M. Frangopol
Architectural Engineering
Civil engineering structures are designed to serve the public and often must perform safely for decades. No matter how well they are designed, all civil engineering structures will deteriorate over time and lifetime maintenance expenses represent a substantial portion of the total lifetime cost of most structures. It is difficult to make a reliable prediction of this cost when the future is unknown and structural deterioration and behavior are assumed from a mathematical model or previous experience. An optimal maintenance program is the key to making appropriate decisions at the right time to minimize cost and maintain an appropriate level …

The Performance Of Urban Form In The Construction Of A Place: Quality Of Design In A 1930'S Residential Area In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Vicente Del Rio
City and Regional Planning
How much of the original urban design of an area leads to its perceived qualities, to its public image, and to its recognition as a special place by its users? In this paper we present the preliminary results of a comparative study of residential areas in the city of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil that are highly regarded as special places by both their communities and the population at large. Our research tries to understand which aspects of the original design of these places still remain today and may be held responsible for their popular success, and which design fundamentals …

Acoustic Radiation From Bowed Violins, Lily M. Wang, Courtney B. Burroughs
Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications
Nearfield acoustic holography (NAH) is applied to visualize the acoustic radiation from bowed violins across a frequency range from 294 Hz to 3 kHz. These visualizations are employed to localize regions of acoustic radiation from surfaces of violins. Three violins were tested: a common student instrument by Scherl and Roth; Hutchins violin SUS295, which has been the subject of many previous investigations; and a Hutchins mezzo violin from the Violin Octet set of instruments, which is longer, broader and thinner than a standard instrument. The violins were bowed continuously with an open-frame mechanical bowing machine, while NAH measurements were made …
