Theses and Dissertations

“The mission of an architect is to help people understand how to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life.” Të krijosh do të thotë të vendosësh diçka në kohë dhe hapësirë, diçka të re e cila padyshim se do të ketë impakt në botë, e këtu dallon krijimi tek impakti ose ndikimi të cilin mund t’a ketë në kohë dhe hapësirë. Ndikimi që arkitektura ka në jetën e njerëzve në hapësirën në të cilën ata jetojnë dhe veprojnë është shumë i madh. Përveç ndikimit vizual e …

Banim Kolektiv, Besart Iseni

Theses and Dissertations

Me rritjen e kërkesave nga të gjitha shtresat për banim në qytete, ndërtesave për banim kolektiv po iu rritet rëndësia çdo ditë e më shumë. Përderisa ky lloj i ndërtesave fokusohet kryesisht në dizajnimin dhe konceptualizimin e hapësirave të banimit, dizajnimi i shprehjes së fasadave të tyre influencon në masë të madhe panoramën e qytetit. Si rrjedhojë, krijimi i hapësirave me shtresa diverse të banimit dhe funksioneve tjera është një nga sfidat më domethënëse të arkitekturës bashkëkohore.

Së fundmi është krijuar një nevojë emergjente për zhvillimin e ndërtesave shumëbanesore sa më efikase, ekologjike por edhe rritje të densitetit. Kështu, për …

“Kampusi Shkollor Për Nivelin 0 Deri 9 | Çerdhe, Fillor Dhe I Mesëm I Ulet” Lipjan, Gentiana Gërbeshi

Theses and Dissertations

Një shkollë është më shumë se një hapësirë utilitare e dedikuar për shpërndarjen e njohurive dhe shkathtësive; është një koncept arsimor që ndikon në të edukuarit nëpërmjet pozicionit hapësinor, formal dhe material.Një ndërtesë shkollore mund të mbajë një mesazh në një kulturë dhe, mbi të gjitha kuptim didaktik. Shkolla është një vend në të cilin ndryshe brezat takohen dhe bashkëveprojnë; ai përfaqëson identifikuesin bërthamën e një komuniteti lokal dhe mjedisin e tij urban ose rural. Një shkollë potencialisht mund të forcojë identitetin dhe rrënjët kulturore e çdo individi; dhe si e tillë, duhet të reflektojë premisat e saj konceptuale genius …

December 2017 marked 50 years since archaeologist Michael J. O’Kelly first observed the solar illumination of the burial chamber in the Neolithic passage tomb at Newgrange during the period of the winter solstice. O’Kelly subsequently recorded direct sunlight entering Newgrange through the ‘especially contrived slit which lies under the roof-box at the outer end of the passage roof’ on 21 December 1969. The discovery of this historic phenomenon, dating back over 5,000 years, captured the public interest and imagination at that time and ever since. In this major article published in the Winter 2017 edition of Archaeology Ireland (date of …

Reinvigorating Urban Under Space:Towards A New Type Of Public Landscape, Yujia Wang, Gandong Cai

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

The proposition of this paper is to examine the agency of landscape in subverting, energizing and reinvigorating a specific kind of deserted space in cities - Urban Under Space. The term Urban UnderSpace refers to residual infrastructural spaces, such as under-bridge space, abandoned subway stations, air raid shelters, etc. The wide availability and continued generation of Urban Under Space in cities that were investigated in North America and Asia reflect a problem in modern planning. But it also provides an opportunity of positioning these piecesas a network of new urban landscapes that can offer a unique and attractive public space …

Preschoolers And Pandas Making Friends: A Journey About Healing From Brain Injury, Barbara Anne Doucette

Museum Studies Projects

Preschoolers that have obtained Non-Accidental Injury (NAI) from familial child abuse are in need of having a unique place for neurorehabilitation in correlation with traditional therapies. My thesis project suggests adding an exhibit annex to an existing giant panda exhibit that will give preschoolers an opportunity to help develop new neuropathways when exposed to mediation and creative activities. Meditation and creative activities are being examined by neuroscientists as an aid in neuroplasticity after brain injury. This thesis reviews the neurotypical preschooler’s milestones and the playful means by which they are achieved. Conjoining the contemporary museums’ and zoological gardens’ outreach to …

Assessment And Attitudes: Biodiversity In Urban Landscapes Of North Central Texas, Gray Harrison Kerry A.

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

North Central Texas is expected to undergo increased population growth and density inside and outside of current municipal boundaries. As development increases to meet the needs of the growing population, the landscape is transformed, which results in the loss or homogenization of species (McKinney, 2006; Vitousek, Mooney, Lubchenco, & Melillo, 1997). This study examined how landscape architects can quickly assess biodiversity on a project site before and after construction without specialized knowledge or skills. Three methods were used to collect data for this study: interviews, a DNA assessment of soil fungi, and a rapid biological assessment (BioBlitz). Two groups were …

Relationship Between The Built Environment, Physical Activity, And Chronic Disease Among Individuals With Disabilities In Rural Communities, Nicholas F. Tanner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Increased risk for chronic disease is closely associated with individual nutrition, tobacco use, and physical inactivity. This thesis focuses on physical activity as a means of preventing select chronic diseases. A major barrier preventing engagement in physical activity is the built environment. Populations residing in rural environment are not afforded the abundance of opportunities for physical activity prevalent in most urban networks. Of the demographic living in rural environments, individuals with disability face additional barriers to physical activity than those without disability. This leads to a higher prevalence of chronic diseases associated with sedentary lifestyles among populations with disability. Few …
