Abstracting The Monument: Architectural Representation For A Contemporary Institution, Emma Isabel Corbalan
Abstracting The Monument: Architectural Representation For A Contemporary Institution, Emma Isabel Corbalan
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This thesis contends that a strategic, meaningful abstraction of the traditional principles of monumentality will create an architecture that is identifiable and communicative, and that can become contextual without the evocation of specific historic references."

"I am proposing a brand that benefits from the addition of architectural thinking in the analysis of the systems utilized by the fashion industry in the development of a new business model. The brand and business model are formulated by the fusion of an architectural sensibility in the consideration of space and form in addition to the study of business practices that have brought success to their respective companies."
Perception Potential And The Performance Of Change, Milo Bonacci
Perception Potential And The Performance Of Change, Milo Bonacci
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Sustainable architecture should have the ability to evolve as influenced by societal, cultural, environmental, economic, and political factors. By being dynamic and responsive in this sense, an architecture would be able to interact with its environment in similar ways to how a biological organism both influences and is influenced by its ecosystem - maintaining a state of dynamic equilibrium and ultimately being sustained."
Green Reintroducing Nature To The City, Andrew Cunneen
Green Reintroducing Nature To The City, Andrew Cunneen
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The architecture of present day America reflects the way in which we give little consideration to the impact that built forms have on the environment. American cities are expanding beyond their former limits into the natural environment previously untouched by built form. It is important for us to foster a sense of environmental concerns in an age of increasing development and advancements. While technology continues to progress it seems that these advancements are applied to everything but architecture. We have designed ways to get more mileage out of a tank of gas, and created appliances that reduce our electric consumption, …

The Void: Urban By Association, Brian Kessler
The Void: Urban By Association, Brian Kessler
Architecture Thesis Prep
"I contend that a regional and now increasingly global scale dictates the development of the city. At this super-urban scale the specificity of architecture is impractical and too expensive, yet the city adn architecture still persist, because of the fundamental human desire for intimate social interaction. Architecture, stripped of its unobtainable utopian ideals, still maintains its significance as the literal and symbolic framework of the urban condition; the space of intense, physical interaction, leading to the literal procreation of humanity and limitless possibilities for new unforeseen activity."
Building A Future With Our Past, Maureen T. O'Sullivan
Building A Future With Our Past, Maureen T. O'Sullivan
Architecture Thesis Prep
"I contend that the contrast of traditional and contemporary architectural building methods and program will visualize the process of change and allow for subsequent transformations of existing constructs. A disregard for traditional architecture will eventually leave us with no conception of our cultural past. These structures are a physical accumulation of our past that we can experience spatially and upon which we can build."

Boundaries And Thresholds, Kathleen C. Czerw
Boundaries And Thresholds, Kathleen C. Czerw
Architecture Senior Theses
"The American city is an agglomeration of definitive districts of program and groups of residents, and it is these bounded urban groupings that allow the city to maintain its diversity districts, allowing them to maintain individual identities, and specifically placed thresholds become spaces where the boundaries are broken and two districts momentarily come together. Often times these thresholds are defined by spatial voids within the urban fabric, and through the use of engaging architecture the threshold can become a place of social exchange and mutual cognizance.
The site is a lot that runs parallel to Genesee River and Exchange Street …
Obstruction And Transcendence: Trespassing On The Border, Adam Sheraden
Obstruction And Transcendence: Trespassing On The Border, Adam Sheraden
Architecture Senior Theses
"The border is an element of both spatial obstruction and cultural transcendence. I propose that there should be a physical manifestation of this cultural transcendence as there is a border fence to register the material obstruction that the border fence produces. The border, as a political and spatial construction, allows for the formation of separate cultural distinctions and therefore is as much a defining element in the city as other social institutions. The border is the final punctuation mark on this arid landscape."

Unveiling The Commodified Landscape: Fixing The Tourist Gaze, Rachel Monk
Unveiling The Commodified Landscape: Fixing The Tourist Gaze, Rachel Monk
Architecture Thesis Prep
"My intention is to provide a counterbalance to the shared delusion of a created environment; to relate the landscape and building as constructed commodities which represent place. The project will objectify the existing methods of commodification within the site utilizing methods of natural processes on the site, erosion, and architectural precedents."
La Ornamentación De La Alhambra De Granada Y Su Proyección En La Cultura Y La Religión = The Ornamentación Of The Alhambra Of Granada And Its Projection In The Culture And Religion, Alyssa Anderson
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
During the three years between my first visit to Spain and my arrival this past September, the one thing that stuck with me and continued to call my attention was the Alhambra. Upon experiencing this both historically and artistically important site, I felt completely enchanted, and a little mystified, by the grandeur of the architecture, the intricate decoration, and the extensive gardens. Since then I have enrolled in a university and have dedicated my studies there to Art History, therefore, there was no question that the Alhambra would be the perfect subject for my independent study. Although I knew before …

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The mammalogy program at Texas Tech University officially was established in 1962, when Robert L. Packard joined the faculty of the Department of Biological Sciences. As the institution's first mammalogist, Packard took the initiative to develop a strong program of mammalian research and education. Influenced by the successful program built by his mentor, E. Raymond Hall, at the University of Kansas, Packard modeled similar goals for Texas Tech University. Those goals included a strong emphasis on both undergraduate and graduate education and research, with several mammalogy faculty members, and the establishment and growth of a large and active mammal collection.

How Monuments Shape Urban Identity, John O. Angée
How Monuments Shape Urban Identity, John O. Angée
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Monuments in our society commemorate historical events, acts or heroes, and educate people about them. Monuments are landmarks that stand out from other buildings to give the city identity and order.
This thesis asks how a monument can be designed to project a clear image at a distance and articulate a spatial experience at close range.
Two important monuments that form part of the life of America serve as examples: (1) The Statue of Liberty, in the New York Harbor, that has become the visual icon of New York if not the nation and (2) The Holocaust Memorial in Miami …

The criteria utilized by the Lincoln Electric System (LES) do not account for impact to the historical, cultural, biological and aesthetic settings traversed by large high-voltage power lines. This paper describes the impacts of such a proposed line at Nine-mile prairie near Lincoln, Nebraska.
Review Of Samuel G. White And Elizabeth White's "Mckim, Mead & White: The Masterworks" And Kristen Schaffer's "Daniel H. Burnham: Visionary Architect And Planner", Bruno Giberti
Architecture
As any undergraduate knows, architectural history is a relentlessly visual subject. It is not impossible, but exceedingly difficult to make a convincing argument through words alone. Words must talk to pictures, in the absence of buildings, and pictures must join together to form a visual argument that is an analogue of the text. What then are we to do with the big picture books favored by publishers like Rizzoli? These serve a function and have an audience, which includes many historians, some of whom are their authors; but it is not the same function as an academic publication, which rarely …
Construct Ireland - Lime-Hemp - A Potential Solution To A Concrete Problem, Joseph Little
Construct Ireland - Lime-Hemp - A Potential Solution To A Concrete Problem, Joseph Little
Articles
This article is intended to act as an exploration and provocation. Why do we build the way we do, what effect does that have? Could we for instance, design and specify buildings that actually benefit the Environment rather than burden and pollute it as currently. Is it possible that the construction of a house could absorb CO2 thereby transforming new housing estates or apartment buildings into giant absorbers of carbon dioxide? Imagine Ireland being able to count commercial constructions or new housing among its ‘carbon sinks’, in place of Siberian forests or the carbon credits that the Government will …
Learning Through Experience: An Interpretive Trail Design For Nasami Farm, Mark Wamsley
Learning Through Experience: An Interpretive Trail Design For Nasami Farm, Mark Wamsley
Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Masters Projects
Almost fifty years ago Freeman Tilden suggested that outdoor places have an ability to speak for themselves (1957). They each impart their own set of unique experiences for visitors, fostering the senses of fascination, attachment and understanding. This alluring voice may, in part, explain why nature centers, botanical gardens and other informal learning sites with interpretive trails have grown in popularity. Such sites attract roughly 420 million visitors a year worldwide, making them prime locations for increasing public awareness and action toward broader environmental issues (Jones 2001, 11). Yet, as interpretive trails become a ubiquitous part of the landscape, their …
The Effects Of Simple Coupled Volume Geometry On The Objective And Subjective Results From Nonexponential Decay, David T. Bradley, Lily M. Wang
The Effects Of Simple Coupled Volume Geometry On The Objective And Subjective Results From Nonexponential Decay, David T. Bradley, Lily M. Wang
Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications
This project focuses on the individual and interactive acoustic effects of three architectural parameters on the double slope profile from a simple coupled volume system created in the computer modeling program ODEON. The three variables studied are the volume ratio between the main and secondary spaces, the absorption ratio between the two spaces, and aperture size. The resulting energy decay profiles are analyzed using T30/T15 Coupling Coefficient ratios and Bayesian analysis. Coupling Coefficient results show general trends in the effects of the three architectural parameters that match previous research results and the predominant interactive effect between …
Analysis Of Per Capita Expenditures Of Suburbanizing Communities In Maine, New England Environmental Finance Center
Analysis Of Per Capita Expenditures Of Suburbanizing Communities In Maine, New England Environmental Finance Center
Economics and Finance
This study analyzes per capita expenditure trends among selected fast-growing Maine towns from 1970-2004. The ten communities studied are termed as “suburbanizing” towns. This term is used to describe towns that over the past 30-40 years have been in the process of transition from rural to suburban – in terms of their population and housing densities, their forms of government, and the services they provide, as well as other characteristics.1 Such towns are of particular interest because they have been absorbing a healthy percentage of the state’s population growth during this time period, often at the expense of Maine’s service …
