Empowering Artists Who Have Experienced Homelessness In The City Of Dallas, Texas Through Temporary Public Art In Urban Spaces, Angeles Marina Margarida-De Guzman
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Homelessness is a critical social crisis impacting the United States in the 21st century. According to The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, in 2019 there were eight states that displayed a significant increase in the homeless population since 2010, with California and New York states having the most homeless. Even though homeless populations reportedly decreased in 2019 in the U.S. since 2010, most states continue to have large numbers of homeless populations, making this a persisting crisis in 2021 (United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, n.d.). In 2019 Texas was among the top seven states with the largest homeless …

Environmental Emergency Calls In Dallas, Texas: Applying The Brace Model To Assess The Effects Of Microclimates On Urban Design & Human Heat Stress, Crystal Marie Kazakos
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
The objective of the study is to investigate how the practice of landscape architecture can help mitigate the effects of climate change and the urban heat island effect on vulnerable block groups in Dallas, Texas by using a model framework, to assess, project, analyze, develop, and evaluate microclimates in these urban areas. This study investigated how the physical morphology of urban areas affect the frequency of heat-related environmental emergency calls by applying the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was used to identify warm trends in Dallas block groups in …
Detailed Cost Estimation For Landscape Architecture: An Indicator Of Final Construction Costs In The Dfw Metropolitan Area, Charles L. Shy Sr.
Detailed Cost Estimation For Landscape Architecture: An Indicator Of Final Construction Costs In The Dfw Metropolitan Area, Charles L. Shy Sr.
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This thesis uses quantitative research methods to study detailed cost estimating to determine how accurately this estimating procedure helps landscape architects forecast construction costs in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex. Specifically, this study seeks to determine the benefits for landscape architects in providing detailed cost estimates to their clients as a deliverable during the design process. Considering how accurate forecasts of construction costs could be used to meet clients' budget expectations more effectively, this is an important field of study for landscape architecture. By evaluating the construction documents costs for each of the study's landscapes, the research determines whether …
A Museum Of Photography In The West End Historic District Of Downtown Dallas, Meredith Bynum
A Museum Of Photography In The West End Historic District Of Downtown Dallas, Meredith Bynum
School of Architecture Theses
To design a museum that emphasizes the perceptual and experiential aspects of viewing photographs and films that responds to the urban context of the West End Historical District. The Museum experience will emphasize a progression through a variety of spaces designed to emphasize the viewing of two-dimensional images and contrasting this experience with three-dimensional real space. An inquiry into the nature of photography is an on-going concern that will be reflected in the building. **UTA Libraries seeks the author of the publication about the status of their work**
A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall
A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Design is most often carried out as an aesthetic exercise in visual affect and spatial treatment. If more stimulation of other human senses (orienting, auditory, smell / taste, visual, and haptic) were to occur in a place, perhaps the place would become more meaningful and memorable. In an effort to address this hypothesis, a Sensory Garden was designed, and hopefully will be implemented. As far as can be determined no other gardens in the United States exist which were designed explicitly to stimulate all the senses. There is a Fragrance Garden at the Strybing Arboretum at Golden Gate Park in …

A New County Courthouse And Square For Dallas, Texas, Richard Wintersole
School of Architecture Theses
Dallas County recently purchased a site in downtown which the City's Master Plan has earmarked for a new County Courthouse to be constructed in 1995. The site is located at the northern edge of an open urban space which contains John F Kennedy Memorial Plaza and John Neely Bryan County Park. Existing on the site and providing an integral edge to the open urban square is the Purse Building, a warehouse constructed in the Chicago Style in 1898. Representatives of the County and the County Historic Commission have expressed an interest in incorporating the Purse Building into the design for …
