Today's Neighborhood Drugstore, B. Sparano

Architecture Thesis Prep

"This thesis attempts to align architectural critique with the forces that inevitably shape it. For architecture to become a (critical) reality, the architect is forced to take on new roles. She can no longer be (solely) a manipulator of aesthetics, images and signs. She must also, in addition, become the manipulator of underlying forces beneath the surface (i.e. social, political, and economic)."

Methods Of Perception, Caleb Mitchell

Architecture Thesis Prep

"Architecture can teach an observer about itself both physically and metaphysically; this can be managed though interactive processes which demand haptic experiences.

(Methodoloy:) To investigate the capacities of mechanistic or interactive devices to reveal meaning (physical and metaphysical); and to eventually develop at full (or large) scale an artifact capable of operating through functional and meaningful interactions with a user."

A Diamond In The Square, Christopher Guido

Architecture Thesis Prep

"When a traditional city element moves to the suburbs, it is detrimental to the element and to the city. The reinsertion of a separated city element into an urban situation, through the reestablishment of its physics, economic, and social relationship to the city, can serve to benefit the newly placed element and its context."

Reading And Composition: An Exploration Into The Nature Of An Architectural Language, Alexander K. Wing

Architecture Senior Theses

'This thesis proposes that a legible and complete language of architecture in an industrial society may be arrived at through the creation and use of a mass produced kit of parts. It sets out to prove the viability of such work by inventing and adapting a standardized kit to several versions of a library program on separate sites in Syracuse, NY."

The Shaping Of Urban Place: The Didactic Museum And The Dialectic Between Art And Technology, Robert J. Corson

Architecture Thesis Prep

"The hypothesis being that the Museum as building type; as expressed through the ideals of the enlightenment, can shape urban place through the its form and content. The intent is to use this hypothesis to shape a significant urban place in Syracuse, NY. The premise being that Syracuse does not have a space that serves as a public forum. This is not intended to reflect the history of Syracuse, but deal with some of the architectural and social problems that currently exist."

A Gateway To The Campus, Caterina Frisone

Architecture Senior Theses

"The thesis proposal is the design of a master plan for Syracuse UNiversity. The S.U. Campus was my vehicle to experiement and apply the ideas and principles derived from my previous historical research and urban analysis: The subject of these two, in fact, has been the American College Campus, not only as a type of Architecture Planning, but also as a reflection of the american educational system."

Street Life And The Pedestrian: Notes On The Design Of Urban Open Space, William John Lenyk

Architecture Senior Theses

"The deterioration of our urban cores remain an unsolved reality. This results in a loss of an active street life and disregard for pedestrian needs. Yet the street is the principal ordering device of the city and the pedestrian its more important user... This thesis will develop a physical statement which is coherent with the working philosophies and theoretical foundation of the pedestrian's needs in the city."

Proposed Redevelopment: Solvay Process Wastebeds, Michael Joseph Starego

Architecture Master Theses

The planned development of the Solvay Process Wastebeds will be a classic case of environmental planning. The need for more planned open spaces becomes more evident and necessary as the population of Syracuse spreads and increases. The creation of the Solvay "Open Space" can draw on the network of existing open spaces within the region and the gradual reclamation of Onondaga Lake.

The knowledge we now have, compared with the early years of the wastebeds, is considerable and should enable a better plan to be made incorporating them into the life of the community. There are of course, no general …

The Neighborhood As A Focus For Development, Bob Neil Scher

Architecture Master Theses

One of the purposes of urban design is an understanding, a knowledge of the urban environment. The purpose of this investigation, a thesis is urban design, was to discover strong, recurrent patterns within the city relevant to urban design as a discipline. It was found that such patterns did exist, in the form of population-migration patterns.

A theory of urban development/redevelopment was constructed as an enhancement of the already existent social pattern, in an attempt to enrich the urban experience within the structure of an average large metropolitan agglomeration.

An Approach To Open Building Systems Building Product Information Retrieval, Josh Gurlitz

Architecture Master Theses

The efficient utilization of information about marketed building products is a requisite for open building systems. There exist, however, few rationalized methods of product information transfer. The methods available to most practitioners do not afford a large range of performance information with a high degree of access are presently beyond the economic reach of most practitioners.

The method proposed here utilizes an intermediate technological vehicle which allows efficient accessibility coupled with a cost factor which may enable its use by many practicing architects. This system is based upon the categorization of performance criteria and the subsequent selection of building products …

Urban Renewal In Syracuse: The Near East Side, Lester Fredrick Volker Ii

Architecture Master Theses

Syracuse has not escaped the problem of slums. Like and other city it is blighted, decayed areas which are encroaching upon sound neighborhoods. Many times this problem has gone unchecked mainly because no one has known how to handle it. This is not to say that people have not tried. Slums certainly are not something new-- ever since cities began there have been poorer, more deteriorating section compared with other parts of the city. From the start of cities until today attempts have been made to arrest the spread of this blight. Many times these attempts have failed because the …
