From Carson Pirie Scott To City Target: A Case Study On The Adaptive Reuse Of Louis Sullivan’S Historic Sullivan Center, Lisa M. Switzer
From Carson Pirie Scott To City Target: A Case Study On The Adaptive Reuse Of Louis Sullivan’S Historic Sullivan Center, Lisa M. Switzer
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
This study provides an in-depth exploration of the adaptive reuse of one of Chicago’s most iconic structures over the course of a year from the Summer of 2011 to the Summer of 2012. The Sullivan Center was converted from a mid-scale retailer to City Target. Through extensive interviews with the Target development team, Chicago city officials, historians and Landmark Commission representatives this study documents the conversion and identifies the successes and opportunities of the project. The study follows the project from design development to completion, and provides insight on the local community perspective on the development.

Community By [Design] By Community: Product & Process, Aaron Bowman
Community By [Design] By Community: Product & Process, Aaron Bowman
All Theses
In his seminal work De Architectura (The Ten Books on Architecture), the Roman architect Vitruvius proposed a definition that became a lasting benchmark for the elements of [DESIGN] -Firmness, Commodity, and Delight. While this three-part definition provided a common lens through which to view [DESIGN], it also created a divide between the trained 'specialists' who create [DESIGN] and the Community who experience and interact with it. For Vitruvius, [DESIGN] provided a physical demarcation of place and created a shared association that was collectively understood as a Community. As the idea of Community has become increasingly dissociated with place in the …

Bioclimatic Architecture Of Residential Building In Kosovo, Mimoza Dugolli
UBT International Conference
The sustained Earth is our chain of the ecological survival. We have over used and over abused every material, every resource and every environmental attributes available for us, trying to find quick and easy solution to the problem. The general concern of modern word today is focused on creating the modern and clean living environment for its inhabitants. Kosovo, which is the newest state in the world, has a long road ahead to achieve the standards in order to create a healthy environment for its residents. A fast economic growth versus low possibility of energy production has caused concerns on …

Nature In Architecture - Japan Architecture, Lessons For Kosovo, Arta Jakupi
UBT International Conference
Focus of my research is to be found on several issues concerning architectural opinions and design in Japan, and for better understanding of its development the attention will be set from the old toward the current architectural endeavors. The created urban mess of Kosovo, beside it’s over built and overcrowded area lack s the most valuable quality of a living settlement- its greenery. The suffocation of the living area can be reduced by producing; inventing; reusing more greenery, more gardens with its calming and meditative effect. The research study reveals a solution; hidden on the inclusiveness of nature into the …
Can We Teach Lean Construction Methods In Schools Of Architecture, Gary Graham
Can We Teach Lean Construction Methods In Schools Of Architecture, Gary Graham
Fall 2012 Faculty Showcase
Traditionally, schools of architecture are not great laboratories to explore the collaborative processes and teamwork that are essential to integrated design and delivery practices as exemplified by Lean Construction. The pre-eminence of the “hero-architect” in the design studio is in direct conflict with methods that can reduce risk and improve the efficiency of the design and construction delivery process. Risk? Efficiency? Delivery Process?... not mention Cost Control, Schedule and Constructability, are foreign concepts to the predominant design studio culture.
Integrated practices and integrated project delivery are clearly “hot” topics in the design and construction industry today. They are a response …

What Studios Do, Eliot Bates
What Studios Do, Eliot Bates
Publications and Research
This essay is focused around a seemingly simple question – what do recording studios do? First, a clarification. I am not primarily asking “what are studios” or “what do people do in studios,” two comparatively straightforward questions that are tangentially addressed in academic and trade writing. Rather, I wish to consider some of the ways in which the studio itself shapes the kinds of social and musical performances and interactions that transpire within. I contend that studios must be understood simultaneously as acoustic environments, as meeting places, as container technologies, as a system of constraints on vision, sound and mobility, …
Revitalizing Cities: Adaptive Reuse Of Historic Structures, Sara E. Sharpe
Revitalizing Cities: Adaptive Reuse Of Historic Structures, Sara E. Sharpe
Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012 Digital Publications
Adaptive reuse is employed when revitalizing an existing infrastructure while maintaining important aspects of the cultural architectural heritage and promoting sustainability. The option to turn away from older structures and build new is a large problem in cities such as Detroit. Historic preservationists are trained to observe a structure’s potential before walking away. Meanwhile interior designers obtain the skills to rejuvenate such buildings for a new use. Case studies have shown the benefits of these two professions teaming up to apply adaptive reuse on historic structures for modern purposes. By studying the creative space planning methods and historic preservations standards …

Perception Of Space In Topological Forms, Dincer Savaskan
Perception Of Space In Topological Forms, Dincer Savaskan
Architecture Thesis Prep
"With recent development of computer technologies there has been change in our notion of materiality. We can define our age as flow of information and architecture capture this flow and creates more complex conceptions and interactions through the space. Recent researches on materialism, typological forms, field gradients and diagramming define a new methodology in design approach, which can respond the dynamism and flow. However architectural form is still inseparable from the way we experience the world, which involves our senses and perceptions. It is possible to adopt cinematic techniques of collage and sequencing in computer-generated forms to create continuous references …

Fashioning The Unfashionable: An Architecture Of Waste, Alyson Canal
Fashioning The Unfashionable: An Architecture Of Waste, Alyson Canal
Architecture Thesis Prep
"It is evident that there exists a connection between architecture and fashion,
and more significantly fashion and waste. Fashioning a material recovery
facility through exhibition space, art, and social interaction will
bring infrastructure back into the designed environment while maintaining
an industrial identity that the site demands. Designing an architecture of
waste through the cultural ideologies of fashion facilitates collectivity and
public engagement."
Residential Square In The 21st Century: Applying A Typology To Create A New Urban Morphology, Elizabeth Whittington
Residential Square In The 21st Century: Applying A Typology To Create A New Urban Morphology, Elizabeth Whittington
Architecture Thesis Prep
"As a low-rise high-density mixed-use typology, the reconsideration of the residential square can provide a new urban morphology that densifies residential zones, while providing safe public spaces. In addition, I assert that through its combination of juxtaposed functional uses, unit typology the language of the façade, the historical European residential square, can articulate the identity of residents."

"The methodology will be tested in the cinema type because of its promise of escapist hyperreality. It is spatial, highly personal and privatized, and firmly anti-architecture. Because the film is self-contained, its space is irrelevant. The representation of experience can be reclaimed as a design strategy to activate the movie theatre typology--a typology that architecture has long since lost."

Forum Contemperanueus: Re-Connecting Society Through Public Interaction, Jonathan Bruno
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This new typology will serve a great social significance
in any city it is placed in. Its ability to gather and withhold a
large number of people is its fundamental importance. Today’s
society has lost its interactivity. Through digital technologies,
more and more of us are glued to smartphones, laptops and
tablets. If this trend continues without any intervention, it will
result in us living “along together.” The public forum was the first
feature of any and all forms of “civitas” for thousands of years.
We are responsible for bringing this urban feature back to our
contemporary cities before it …

What Happens In Vegas: Addressing The Freshwater Crisis, Hannah Miller
What Happens In Vegas: Addressing The Freshwater Crisis, Hannah Miller
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The situation in Las Vegas is startling. The population has continued to grow without restraint in almost disregard of the ongoing drought diminishing the Colorado River and the lakes it supplies. The age old saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” has made its way into the attitude towards water consumption. There is a careless concern towards the limited supply of fresh water in the Great Basin region. Exploring new ways to provide water for this growing demand will not only help Vegas and the Southwest region of the States, but areas across the globe in similar drought situations …

Surpassing Spectacle: Architectual Representation & Image-Based Society, Patrick Ruggerio
Architecture Thesis Prep
"The project will critique current modes of operation by a linear problem-solving design process. By acting through representation as both a vehicle for developing design and as a means of communicating and experiencing it, the project will engage the design of a tactile deployment of architecture and effective means of communicating its intent. The architecture will function in the way that the visual arts do in terms of their scale and engagement in cultural issues. Research into tangible artifacts of the site will yield a combination of image, drawing and model forms of representation. Through this analysis, a strategy of …
Deconstructing The American Embassy, Stefan Kaiser
Deconstructing The American Embassy, Stefan Kaiser
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Contemporary diplomatic functions have outgrown the typological embassy building. The barricaded sidewalks and streets are evidence that additional space is required to conduct business safely. Retrofitted embassies in London, Paris, and Berlin expand their security perimeter into the urban condition to maintain the architectural icon of diplomacy. New embassies should utilize the contested zone between the building and the city instead of relocating in rural neighborhoods. It is the purpose of this thesis to enable functional and symbolic diplomatic exchange at the location of intersecting sovereignty."

Architecture Of The Virtual Corpse: National Lifetime Archive, Will Stattman
Architecture Thesis Prep
"I believe that architecture cannot continue to ignore new technologies and their spatial, social, and tectonic consequences, and must incorporate them in order to stay pertinent. Additionally, the boundaries between the physical and simulated can be blurred to unite the human experience. We have acknowledged some aspects of this crisis, but architecture must fully respond formally, organizationally, spatially, ideologically and conceptually. I’d like to explore these implications within a new Architecture."

Essen(Ce)Tially Authentic: Contemporary Design Within A Historical Context And The Parameters Of The “Preserved”, Danielle Ciccone
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Contemporary architecture needs to solidify its role amongst the pressures of preservation. It is crucial to build reflective of our time, even within a historical area. Though the past should be appreciated, it cannot be revived. Architectural design should exhibit a successive evolution instead of white washing its progression. The essence of a place must be interpreted, distilling and capturing its characteristics while establishing a more authentic architecture of the present. Identity endures not in appearance but with the culture, tradition, technology and people of a particular time."

Political Space: An Opportunity Within The Lima Food System, Santiago A. Dammert
Architecture Thesis Prep
“I propose a more complex project composed of hybrid programs that reflect a deeper analysis of the site and its relations to the city and its food system, as well as programmatic interfaces that result in interactions between the different users to be located there, without compromising the market’s need for efficient transactions. An other important factor is time. Since market activities tend to take place at different times than more generic office hours within which most people work, it is important to design program with time slots in mind, generating not only spatial interfaces but chronographic interfaces”
Twenty First Century Form: Disrupted Continous Surface, Wiqas Ahmed
Twenty First Century Form: Disrupted Continous Surface, Wiqas Ahmed
Architecture Thesis Prep
"In order to respond to the needs and demands of the twenty-first century, dual architectural thinking must be abandoned in favor of form & multiplicity. Here form should act as a canopy under which multiple functional aspects including programmatic, performative, cultural, economic, historical, geographic, infrastructural, and climate considerations can coexist simultaneously. Form can no longer be thought of as a counter argument to function, visa versa, but rather as an independent medium in which function operates. Since function is now defined as multiplicity, consequently, form becomes the study of the method of articulating multiple conditions. There may be several ways …
Housing Indeterminacy: Responsive Design For Diverse And Changing Households, Mark Sousa
Housing Indeterminacy: Responsive Design For Diverse And Changing Households, Mark Sousa
Architecture Thesis Prep
"This project hopes to create a new outlook on the future of housing design. Ray Forrest wrote, “The pace of demographic change need not be that dynamic to outpace the capacity of markets or states to provide appropriate dwellings in appropriate locations. […] Dwelling placement or adaptation is always likely to lag.”2 The preceding statement reflects the belief that housing is static and rigid, and that dwelling replacement or major structural adaptation is necessary to accommodate a continually evolving population. On the contrary, responsive housing can release significant pressure on housing systems by anticipating change and providing a lower cost …

Architecture Thesis Prep
"A society that values education should place emphasis on the facilities and incorporate in them the values and progress, not blindly stick to the traditional. For a country fighting to regain its identity, it is important that the divisions between the neighborhoods are blurred and a sense of a whole is created. With the school as community center, education remains the central focus, as well as provides the necessary link to the surrounding neighborhoods, becoming more than just a physical center, but an activity center as well."

Sourcing Scarcity, Muneerah Alrabe
Architecture Thesis Prep
"Water is an essential element to human development and urban vitality. As a response to future oil depletion in cities, a new appearance of water emerges in cities: Hydro-urbanism. Through rethinking the potential of water infrastructure in cities, HydroUrbanism situates itself as a spectacular functional event that aims to collect, purify, store, and generate energy within a city. The project reconsiders the production process of water on the periphery of the city and hypothesizes for an integrated process of the production of water to work within the city at an urban scale. Exposing the water infrastructure, fantasizing water, and re-connecting …
