The Monument And The Square: Evolving An Identity For Harvard Square, Kathleen Kulpa
The Monument And The Square: Evolving An Identity For Harvard Square, Kathleen Kulpa
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This thesis will demonstrate the making of a civic building as a resolution between urban conditions and as a focal point in a urban square. It proposes to create an identity for the place by using abstraction of the meeting house as a recognizable type which can allow for the reproposition of the community within."
Ideological Contextualism, Richard Curtiss
Ideological Contextualism, Richard Curtiss

New Haven, CT
Yale University
Faculty and Cultural Center
""This thesis is an argument of an appropriate attitude toward contextualism in regard to modern monument and the built environment. Architecture should not be the appropriation of superficial architectural styles, but rather the development of a dialogue with the concepts, typologies and physical characteristics of the existing condition."

A Meeting House In Boston: A Vehicle For Reconnection, Roseanne Hennessey
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The thesis project will explore the reconnection of the urban core to the periphery. It will deal fundamentally with the relationship of center to edge and the sue of architecture as connective tissue. The vehicle for this exploration if a meeting house in Boston. This vehicle presents an opportunity to investigate the topic of reconnection as an urban/site proposition as well as a use/program proposition."

"Now, while still dealing wit the repercussions of previous shifts in technology, the information age engulfs society. The premise of this thesis is that the process of creating architecture, as a method of communication and as a societal endeavor, must involve the confrontation of, engagement with, and speculation about new technologies."

Working Women's Community: A Feminist Perspecitve On Women In The Urban Condition; Representation In Space And Architecture, Hilary M. Sample
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Investigating gender in architectre calls attention to issues of spatial segregation and stratification systems which contribute to human inequalities, such as the distribution of knowledge and power.... An exploration of gendered spaces through an investigation of male-oriented environmets in relation to feminine spatial-socio language of difference that could inform architectural spaces which allow for multiplicity of experience which promotes knowledge and power.
The vehicle for exploring these issues will be a community center which provides social services and communal living. The project will be developed through patterns of program and the multiplicity of spatial experiences."

Multi-Media And Rare Books Addition - New Haven, Ct, Henry Hong
Architecture Senior Theses
"This proposal is a study and experiment into what the role of architecture (library) is, in the information age. The question of what it is about a certain place or building that people retreat to and gather, and experience something more than an active computer screen. How, architecturally, it can transform or 'bridge' itself from historical and traditional building types that it critically addresses these issues."

The Urban Neighborhood Collective, Angel David Nieves
The Urban Neighborhood Collective, Angel David Nieves
Architecture Senior Theses
The study of development in traditional urban Africa is relevant to the contemporary American architect as it offers the possibility to him or her of a neighborhood form that responds to current American social problems. The form of this new American neighborhood might parallel the African village, a strong paradigm reflecting humankind in a non-alienating relationship with the environment. Our urban areas have deteriorated over the past century, in part because planners and architects seemingly have little understanding of the needs of humankind[...] The lack of self expression that humankind faces at home, at work, and in the community weakens …

Architecture Thesis Prep
A town hall and square for Georgetown
"The Intention of this thesis is to explore how ideas of democracy can be revealed in architecture. Issues concerning the manner in which a democracy or representative government represents itself, as opposed to that of the autocratic structured government are central to beginning thesis study. This thesis will demonstrate that form is, indeed, informed by content in this opposition."

Intervention Into An Historic Artifact, Salvatore Canciello

Museum of the Evolution of Iron and Steel - Trenton, New Jersey
"The origins of the word museum stem directly from allusions to the process of death. Similarly the ideas behind historic preservation also find their roots in the saving of a 'dying' artifact. Through the combination of museum and historic ruin this thesis will attempt to bring both the ruin and the artifacts exhibited within the museum back to life. This life will be sustained through the celebration of site, history, and technology, and its overall significance in the development of the community, and its contribution to the world …

"In order to promote social change, architecture must take on a new mode of operation. That is to say that architecture must come from the people, an architecture deemed some years ago in an art installation, "Architecture without Architects." The architect …

Thesis Preparatory Booklet - Suburban Civic Center, Charles Angelakis
Thesis Preparatory Booklet - Suburban Civic Center, Charles Angelakis
Architecture Thesis Prep
'My intention is to investigate the reestablishment of the civic center within a typical suburban town of a major metropolitan city. This new 'town square" should be the seat of local law and government, the place of the town's library, site of public services, along with some commercial and residential functions. My goal is to take a site occupied by an architectural ruin which sits as a composition of objects in a field, and by the manipulation of the landscape, along with the introduction of a new piece of architecture, create an ordered composition which begins to become the towns …

Civic Pride And The Urban Monument: A Study Of Places For Public Assembly, Jeffrey C. Shumaker
Architecture Senior Theses
Imagine a city where people gather in the streets by choice and not by chance[...] What better place is there to witness society at its fullest than in our cities[...] The privatization of the public realm has proven to be destructive for both the city's physical form and its social structure[...] This leads us to the discussion that becomes the reason for my writing this thesis and, ironically, becomes for me the most obvious illustrations of the present urban predicament. The city is in desperate need of a civic architecture[...] a civic architecture is one that is created for the …

Cities Of Artificial Excavation: The Work Of Peter Eisenman, 1978-1988 Introduction, Jean-François Bédard
School of Architecture - All Scholarship
In this introduction, Bédard traces American architect Peter Eisenman's evolution as an architect and theorist from his work on houses from 1967 until 1980 to a body of work titled, "Cities of Artificial Excavation," which he completed between 1978 and 1988. In "Cities of Artificial Excavation," Eisenman interrogates a series of fictions by using dissimulation to produce an "artificial" architecture.
