In 2009 UMass Amherst, under the direction of Chancellor Robert Holub, engaged in a Framework for Excellence initiative and a commitment to elevate the national profile of the institution. The Framework for Excellence called for the recruitment of 250 additional faculty and an increase of 2,500 undergraduate students over the next 10 years. More space and improved, state-of-the-arts facilities was recognized as key in attracting and retaining the highest caliber faculty and students.
The Comprehensive Academic and Classroom Facilities Plan was funded by the MA Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance (DCAMM), which hired Burt Hill to initiate an …

Architecture Senior Theses
Building typologies are generally well defined and functionally specific. A church is for worship, a house is for living, and a theater is for performing. In certain instances, these basic building typologies have been combined to form composite structures such as mixed-use housing/retail projects, or a house on a boat. The opportunities created by composite typologies have allowed for broader economic development, more complex and integrated programming, greater utility and richer social structures. A specific combination of typologies--the mix of infrastructural bridge with housing/retail/public space--has produced a few historically successful models[...] Over time, the bridge was developed from a simple …

Enhancement Plan For Downtown Cayucos, Ca, Rachelle Sarai Sneh Lopez
Enhancement Plan For Downtown Cayucos, Ca, Rachelle Sarai Sneh Lopez
Master's Theses
An area can be torn by the competition between the preservation of its character and the desire for new development. Cayucos’ downtown area is recognized by both residents and visitors as a special place with a strong, small, coastal town feel. However, issues such as accessibility, public amenities, parking, maintenance, and general development needs have to be dealt with. This thesis deals with the issue of how to plan for change while maintaining the character of Cayucos, and presents an enhancement plan proposal for its downtown. The development of this plan was based on a research-based design methodology, which included …

Land Conservation And Land Use In New England: Trends, Challenges & Opportunities, Amanda Loomis, Tom Devine, Andrea Small, Brittany Howard, Brett Richardson, Stephanie Dulac
Land Conservation
Sprawling development patterns accelerated across the New England landscape in the last three decades and consumed the region‘s forests, farms, and open spaces at an unprecedented rate. New England‘ers in all six states formed land trusts, supported statewide conservation organizations, and collaborated with state and federal partners to protect some of their most-prized recreation lands, wildlife habitats, and working lands. The current economic recession has slowed development pressures across the region and offers an opportunity to build on recent successes. The time is right to plan a coordinated New England conservation strategy that protects and links the region‘s natural assets. …
South Burlington Vt: New Urbanist South Village, Jack Kartez, Richard Barringer
South Burlington Vt: New Urbanist South Village, Jack Kartez, Richard Barringer
Planning
The 220 acre master plan for South Village, the largest project in the City of South Burlington’s history, encompasses multiple housing types and innovative provisions for affordable housing. It integrates housing with open space and natural resource conservation, including a major Community Supported Agriculture project developed by a nonprofit partner, the Intervale Foundation. While not a mixed-use project (that is, commercial as well as residential development), South Village nonetheless represents a qualitative change in approach for South Burlington by incorporating large-scale open space preservation as part of development and multiple housing-types in one project. The case study recounts events leading …

La Accesibilidad En Centros Históricos / Accesibility In Historic Centres, Yanet Lezama-López
Yanet Lezama-López
A través de una revisión crítica de la teoría y la práctica de la planificación urbana predominante en México, basada en el paradigma del movimiento modernista o lecorbusiano desde el Siglo XX, el artículo presenta elementos teóricos (principios o cualidades y aspectos del diseño urbano) que facilitan tanto el establecimiento de indicadores para el análisis, evaluación y manejo de los paisajes históricos construidos (PHCs), como la comprensión de su accesibilidad desde la perspectiva de la calidad del entorno urbano. Por cuanto a la accesibilidad (física, social y visual), esta se mejora si los entornos urbanos son diseñados respondiendo a esas …

Jaime F. Erazo Espinosa
El sector inmobiliario, como proceso que articula la producción y circulación del espacio edificado urbano, se constituye en uno de los reflejos más inmediatos de las transformaciones económicas y espaciales que experimentan las ciudades. Precisamente las dinámicas coyunturales de estabilidad y confianza, generadas por la dolarización de la economía ecuatoriana a principios del presente siglo, dinamizaron procesos de inversión, los cuales, asociados a lógicas tradicionales de renta, recursos descongelados del sistema financiero y capitales retornados del exterior, se orientaron a la adquisición de bienes raíces en un contexto de especulación, incremento de rentas percibidas por alquileres y altos índices de …

Jaime F. Erazo Espinosa
La ciudad y sus habitantes han sido un tema recurrente en literatura. Profundas descripciones no solo del entorno urbano, sino de la hondura psicológica de quienes habitan lo urbano, construyen ciudades de ficción textual para nada alejadas de la realidad latinoamericana: Macondo, Comala, Lima, Quito, Guayaquil y muchas ciudades más han sido escenario de múltiples obras literarias que muestran esas complejas inter/secciones urbanas, sociales, económicas y culturales de las que habla esta selección de artículos académicos. En las ciudades, hay tópicos que unen, rompen y originan acciones o hechos causales en lo urbano; aquí algunas de ellas: Han transcurrido casi …

Climate Change
The Portland Municipal Climate Change Working Group prepared a report in March 2008 that outlined several recommendations as a commitment by the City to address greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced during daily municipal operations. The Municipal Climate Action Plan was written in partnership with Clean Air – Cool Planet and Portland officials, and acknowledges under Recommendation #2 that an employee energy efficiency program would provide significant positive impact on the City’s reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Best practices from three cities show that focus on the greening of City Hall is critical in developing a program that promotes partnerships, community …

El artículo describe el ejercicio interactivo que el Centro INAH Querétaro presentó en la Exposición de Ciencia y la Tecnología en septiembre de 2008. Utilizando una maqueta y rompecabezas tridimensionales de las tipologías edilicias del centro histórico de Santiago de Querétaro, se transmitió a aproximadamente 1400 infantes de 4 a 12 años de edad qué es el patrimonio cultural edificado y cómo ellos pueden contribuir a su conservación y mejora.

A través de una revisión crítica de la teoría y práctica de la planificación urbana predominante en México, basada el paradigma del movimiento modernista o lecorbusiano desde el Siglo XX, esta ponencia toma como estudio de caso la ciudad de Santiago de Querétaro para mostrar cómo este paradigma, sumado a la discrecionalidad que ejercen las autoridades locales responsables de su planificación urbana, la han convertido en una ciudad en dónde el interés público se ha subordinado al de los agentes privados. Esto se evidencia en el modelo de ciudad “dispersa”, de bajas densidades, y al mismo tiempo fragmentada, en dónde …
