Bio-As:Biophilic Redesign Of The Residential Home, Nadia Alexander
Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year
Bio-As is the assimilation of structural design and biophilia in residential architecture. It is the re-imagining of the intervening spaces defining a home through the production of panels, modules, and nodes. These three different scales of production can be used to form a connection between the natural environment and traditional spatial structures.
Designing Home: Pedagogy Of Proportion + Geometry, Connor Joyce
Designing Home: Pedagogy Of Proportion + Geometry, Connor Joyce
Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year
Architectural education has evolved through the years to conform within the contemporary styles of the eras. Classical styles are typically labeled as outdated. This causes traditional design and architectural history courses to be sidelined into the lecture-based methods rather than the typical studio setting. Studio courses are the prime section of education within architectural universities, and the studio environment fosters the development of contemporary designs, materials, and methods. This thesis project brings traditional, proportionate design back into the studio and hands-on instruction. With a focus on residential design, “Designing Home” outlines a proposed focus studio for upper-year architecture students interested …

Alternative Redistribution Of Residential Solar Energy, David T. Holmes
Alternative Redistribution Of Residential Solar Energy, David T. Holmes
Construction Management
The use of solar panels on residential structures has been prevalent since the mid 1970’s and over the decades their presence has become more pronounced and more valued. The creation of energy on-site using clean methods for an individual is truly a remarkable feat. As solar panels become increasingly common, so do the inherent issues and their supporting infrastructure. Of these issues a common inconvenience is what owners are to do with extraneous energy. What this entails is that an owner typically does not have means to store energy that is created in surplus, the resulting solution is the power …

Floating Home: An Imagined Community, Carrie Collier
Floating Home: An Imagined Community, Carrie Collier
Theses and Dissertations
Climate experts around the world agree that anthropogenic climate change threatens the long-term survival of the human species. Human activity has already contributed to an exponential spike in the rate of extinction among other Earthly species, beginning at the time of the industrial revolution.
The American home is a site of concentrated resource consumption, waste production, and greenhouse gas emission. It is also a site where gender-based expectations continue to burden women with a majority share of uncompensated, under-valued domestic labor. Collective or communal housing arrangements could reduce per capita carbon output while facilitating the equitable re-distribution of work that …

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Masters Projects
Communities everywhere are experiencing significant and unpredictable shifts in the social and physical infrastructure of their landscapes. In the midst of a cultural, political, and ecological moment which has no precedent, it seems as though many of our contemporary crises have one thing in common: they will either be alleviated or drastically exacerbated by the alliance of professions working to improve the built environment. Now more than ever, the world is in need of designers, planners, and policy-makers who are willing to use this moment of great change as momentum to imagine a new era of community development, one which …

In addition, it will investigate the scaling of such a building and how a plot of land will answer to population density as well as agricultural use. A standardized set of building layers will be clearly defined as a rationale for designing a building that conforms to the site and cultural concerns. The summation of these considerations and intents will be a building that …
Space . Efficiency . Transformation, Timothy W. Alston
Space . Efficiency . Transformation, Timothy W. Alston
Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year
In Atlanta, there is a lack of affordable housing for the working class category of citizen due to outdated building norms and inefficient building techniques that are not designed to increase said affordability.This mindset lends people to the idea that they need to take ownership of larger, more expensive spaces, effectively wasting their money. This trend tends to ward working class citizens off from buying houses, which in turn creates a bigger gap in the housing market.
This thesis plans to propose a design strategy for single family detached dwellings that utilizes the idea of multi-functional, transformative space while simultaneously …
Walkability And Accessibility: Users' Perspectives Of A Planned Neighborhood, Nancy S. Chu
Walkability And Accessibility: Users' Perspectives Of A Planned Neighborhood, Nancy S. Chu
Theses and Dissertations
The transformation of the Westlawn Housing Development, one of the largest housing projects in Wisconsin, has led to this research. The old development, which was modeled after the military barracks style for its uniformity and practicality, is in extreme contrast to the new design influenced by the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND). TND was well received by the middle class as an alternative to the suburban sprawl sweeping the nation in the 1980s. However, research suggests that most TND’s are premised on upper-middle-class preference and do not focus on the housing needs of the general population.
This research will explore if …
Open Source Architecture: Redefining Residential Architecture In Islamabad, Mariam Yaqub
Open Source Architecture: Redefining Residential Architecture In Islamabad, Mariam Yaqub
Architecture Theses
Islamabad, a planned city, has grown rapidly since its conception in the 1960’s but it has not followed its predetermined fate but rather grown haphazardly due to the lack of infrastructure available to implement Doxiadis’s master plan. The city was unable to meet the housing requirements of the people causing them to build gated communities on the outskirts of Islamabad and its sister city, Rawalpindi. The market demands caused city prices to rise exponentially, increasing the economic divide between the social classes. The city which was once supposed to reflect diversity of social classes became home to the elite and …
Uncreative Construction | Domestic Mutations In America, Sean Morgan
Uncreative Construction | Domestic Mutations In America, Sean Morgan
Architecture Senior Theses
A shift in residential patterns in American cities have fostered a breeding ground for mutant buildings. Owners split, manipulate, and expand their houses as they create idiosyncratic constructs of great visual and spatial complexity. Originally developed for a middle class population, single-family homes have become mixed-use or multi-family complexes thanks to the resourceful implementation of commercial materials.
This thesis aims to develop a new strategy for transforming the normative American house by using the conventions of platform frame construction. Variations will emerge from a set of design constraints, which—unlike that employed for typical houses—are based on data that disregards style …

An Analysis Of Safety Culture & Safety Training: Comparing The Impact Of Union, Non-Union, And Right To Work Construction Venues, Harry Miller Csp, Tara Hill, Kris Mason, John S. Gaal Edd
Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development
The construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors of the US economy. As such, the safety attitudes and climate within small (residential) contracting firms may play a role in providing a safe culture and working environment. The intent of this practitioner-based research study is to compare and determine if there is a difference in safety practices—based on documented field inspections and their related original number of violations observed by OSHA—between union residential carpentry contractors in the St. Louis area and:
1) non-union residential carpentry contractors in the St. Louis area;
2) non-union residential carpentry contractors across Missouri; and …
Core-House: A Proposal For Re-Inhabiting Underused Buildings, Thom P. Barry
Core-House: A Proposal For Re-Inhabiting Underused Buildings, Thom P. Barry
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
This thesis is an exploration of how small independent residential units added one at a time can offer old buildings and the cities they are in the opportunity to gradually grow and change – in a way that isn’t presented by the typical double-loaded corridor build-out.
The first component of this exploration is a modular unit that can be brought into existing buildings and assembled in a flexible layout. This House acts as a ‘Core’ that provides basic shelter, warmth, and a place to sleep and prepare food; the density of this unit allows the surrounding square footage to be …
