Barelas Rail Yard Redevelopment: A Stakeholder Assessment, Michael Furze
Barelas Rail Yard Redevelopment: A Stakeholder Assessment, Michael Furze
Architecture and Planning ETDs
Community-based redevelopment of Albuquerque, New Mexicos twenty-seven acre Barelas Rail Yard site represents one possible outcome of the ongoing redevelopment process. This thesis uses semistructured interviews with neighborhood residents and community activists to reveal visions and concerns about the future of the site from beyond the profit-driven approach of typical contemporary projects. Through interviews and the case studies, I provide recommendations for discussion and capacity-building that allows neighborhood residents to better navigate a complex political landscape and influence the redevelopment of the site through a community-based process that brings together multiple visions of renewed activity on the site that respects …
Nuances In A Panethnic Southwest Landscape, Angelica Solares
Nuances In A Panethnic Southwest Landscape, Angelica Solares
Architecture and Planning ETDs
Urban landscapes of places with large immigrant populations are transformed as immigrants bring a different use of space with them. Mexican immigrants throughout the southwestern United States have physically transformed the landscape, and these trans-formed places often result in spaces that foster socialization and assert cultural identity. This thesis proposes that a three-stage cycle of spatial production exists in Mexicano communities in the United States, and describes the authors three-stage cycle of spatial production model in detail. The cycle begins with the formation of an enclave, followed by the transformation of the urban landscape which then results in one of …
Identification Of Man-Made Hazards In Aneth Chapter, Navajo Nation, Utah, Eugenia Quintana
Identification Of Man-Made Hazards In Aneth Chapter, Navajo Nation, Utah, Eugenia Quintana
Architecture and Planning ETDs
Identification of man-made hazards is an initial step in planning recommendations for mitigation of man-made hazards. This project entailed a participatory process that engaged the local community in identifying man-made hazards specific to Aneth. The man-made hazards have challenged the community in managing potential damages, physical, environmental and economic losses due to pollution and contamination from man-made hazards. The development of this professional project has revealed some pathways to environmental protection for the Aneth Chapter, which could be the first Navajo Nation Chapter to move towards the development of a plan for mitigation of man-made hazards based upon the identification …
Utilizing Jicarilla Apache Knowledge To Enrich The Watershed Watch Program Curriculum For The Benefit Of The Jicarilla Apache Youth, Rebecca Rae
Architecture and Planning ETDs
The thesis explores the notions of decolonization, Indigenous knowledge, and empirical knowledge of place as a foundation for implementing Jicarilla Apache knowledge into the Watershed Watch Program. Two lesson plans were created utilizing Jicarilla Apache stories and knowledge to teach Jicarilla Apache youth about the water cycle, plants, and culture. By connecting Indigenous teachings with western scientific teachings Jicarilla Apache youth will gain a greater understanding of the natural environment with relevance to their heritage.
Building Energy Labeling: A Path To Improved Energy Performance For Commercial Buildings, Ronald Nelson
Building Energy Labeling: A Path To Improved Energy Performance For Commercial Buildings, Ronald Nelson
Architecture and Planning ETDs
Architects, engineers, and builders have a unique opportunity to lead society and the economy through the current difficult times. Since studies show that buildings account for nearly half the nations energy consumption, our power derives from our ability to dramatically cut the energy consumption through energy efficient refurbishment of the vast existing building inventory and through energy efficient designs for new construction. This conservation has an amazing threefold benefit: through reduced consumption we extend the life of our limited natural resources; through reduced consumption we reduce our emission of greenhouse gases and thus reduce the threat of climate change; and …
Articulation Of Deaf And Hearing Spaces Using Deaf Space Design Guidelines: A Community Based Participatory Research With The Albuquerque Sign Language Academy, Charlene A. Johnson
Articulation Of Deaf And Hearing Spaces Using Deaf Space Design Guidelines: A Community Based Participatory Research With The Albuquerque Sign Language Academy, Charlene A. Johnson
Architecture and Planning ETDs
The purpose of this project is to conduct Community Based Participatory Research exploring how articulation between deaf, hard of hearing and hearing students at the Albuquerque Sign Language Academy can be enhanced using Deaf Space Design Guidelines in the school facility. The ASLA is a Bilingual school with an ASL and spoken English curriculum. Unlike traditional schools for the deaf, the ASLA enrolls deaf, hard of hearing and hearing children in a multicultural environment, which includes Deaf Culture among the cultural identities. Five qualitative research methods were used with participation from mostly hearing ASLA staff, faculty and parents. The ASLA …
