Morphodynamics Of Bunces Pass, Florida, Jack C. Wilhoit Ii Nov 2004

Morphodynamics Of Bunces Pass, Florida, Jack C. Wilhoit Ii

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Bunces Pass is an unstructured tide-dominated inlet just north of the main entrance to Tampa Bay, Florida. The inlet has been stable for at least 130 years, as the size, shape, and orientation have remained unchanged. The morphological evolution of the Bunces Pass ebb-tidal delta is influenced by adjacent inlets. Historically, the ebb tidal delta was extremely large, due to the presence of the south channel of Pass-A-Grille Pass. As the tidal prism decreased through the south channel, the sheltering effect produced by the large ebb tidal delta diminished, and large volumes of sand began migrating shoreward. Sediment from the …

Images Of Naples: Class, Gender And The Southern Character In Hester Piozzi’S Observations And Reflections, Kelley A. Cason Nov 2004

Images Of Naples: Class, Gender And The Southern Character In Hester Piozzi’S Observations And Reflections, Kelley A. Cason

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

On the tenth of January 1786, Mrs. Hester Lynch Piozzi recorded her entrance into the city of Naples, Italy in her travel journal Observations and Reflections Made in the Course of a Journey Through France, Italy, and Germany. She emphasized the importance of her experience in Naples by stating that: "among all the new ideas I have acquired since England lessened to my sight upon the sea, those gained at Naples will be the last to quit me." This British woman's stay in Naples was but a brief period within her three year long Grand Tour, yet it represented …

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams Nov 2004

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams

Theses and Dissertations

A common practice of multinational companies is to temporarily transfer employees to international locations in order to exchange technology, launch new ventures, and facilitate communication within the company. To do this, multinational companies must make a number of decisions regarding their expatriate programs. Even though international companies would rather stay focused on the professional performance of their employees without having to "meddle" in personal and family affairs, recent research has shown that the adaptation of the accompanying spouse is one of the most critical factors in expatriate assignment success or failure. By studying the available literature on expatriate spouse adaptation, …

Urban Design: Not Just 'Delight', But 'Commodity' And 'Firmness' As Well., Ina Klaasen Nov 2004

Urban Design: Not Just 'Delight', But 'Commodity' And 'Firmness' As Well., Ina Klaasen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In 1961, in The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs stated 'A city can not be a work of art'. 40 years later this message has not yet reached most urban designers. Influenced by the discipline of architecture the achievement of experiential value, particularly in cultural and aesthetic respects, guided by personal form concepts, is the central issue. The focus is on final processes with a relatively large temporal grain: the transformation of urban area (counted in years or decades).

The London Coffee Bar 'Problem' Of The 1950s - An Eclectic Design Challenge To The Universalism Of Modernism., Matthew Partington Nov 2004

The London Coffee Bar 'Problem' Of The 1950s - An Eclectic Design Challenge To The Universalism Of Modernism., Matthew Partington

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In his 1957 article, ‘Shoes, Hair and Coffee’, Toni del Renzio identified London coffee bars as one of the places where, ‘a real and genuine popular modern architecture is being created, as outstanding and as anonymous as the gipsy baroque of the fairground used to be. It is in undeniable opposition to the timid, dull and understated pretentiousness that does duty for modern English architecture.' This paper will compare this description of a ‘genuine popular modern architecture’ with other articles about coffee bars in the design and architecture journals of the mid nineteen fifties4.

Embodied Interaction - Designing Beyond The Physical-Digital Divide., Pelle Ehn, Per Linde Nov 2004

Embodied Interaction - Designing Beyond The Physical-Digital Divide., Pelle Ehn, Per Linde

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The physical and digital worlds are wide apart. Each has its own design professionals: product designers and human-computer interaction experts. However, as computers are becoming ubiquitous, embedded in our everyday objects and environments and embodied in the way we experience them in our everyday lives, this divide becomes problematic. This dilemma is accentuated by the parallel threat of demassification, the potential loss of material and social properties when artefacts become digital. In this paper we argue for embodied interaction as a useful stance for designing beyond this physical-digital divide. This term has been coined by Paul Dourish in the phenomenological …

Design How-To-Know: Towards A Domain-Specific Ontology., Frances Joseph Nov 2004

Design How-To-Know: Towards A Domain-Specific Ontology., Frances Joseph

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The title of this paper implies a repositioning of the notion of ‘design know how’ as tacit knowledge developed through practical experience into a questioning of the identity and being of design. This is not to valorise one form of knowing (through practice) over another (through cognition), but to imply a certain fuzziness about the definition, purpose and meaning of design. While this paper addresses issues of design, ontology and computation in relation to certain philosophical and theoretical positions, it is important to emphasise that my engagement comes from a practical involvement and concern with ‘design problems’ arising from the …

Colour Emotions For Real Objects., Li-Chen Ou, Ming Ronnier Luo, Andrée Woodcock Nov 2004

Colour Emotions For Real Objects., Li-Chen Ou, Ming Ronnier Luo, Andrée Woodcock

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Colour patches have been widely used by designers in developing colour schemes and sometimes by customers in colour selection. It is important to clarify whether colour patches show the same emotional effect as those by real objects. In our previous study, several colour science based colour-emotion models were developed for colour patches. To see whether these models can be applied to real objects, a psychophysical experiment was carried out in a real-sized room where the following four items were presented: coloured vases, coloured walls, tablecloth, and carpet. The experiment was divided into ten sessions and the walls were painted ten …

Power To The People: Electricity And Domestic Design., Kathleen Connellan, Jim Moss Nov 2004

Power To The People: Electricity And Domestic Design., Kathleen Connellan, Jim Moss

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper will tease out a number of tensions including domestic product design and designed domesticity, particularly within the post World War 2 emphasis of embracing electricity into the home with all of its concomitant ‘labour saving’ devices. Pre –Apartheid South Africa will be used as a context for a domestic engagement of a different kind – one in which black African maids in a starched white aprons and headscarfs worked silently as the best of white goods were promoted as doing. This situation flew in the face of emerging modernist tendencies. It created the unresolved tension between the white …

Creative Resource 2003-2006., Jakki Dehn

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper will describe the work of the practice based initiative entitled ‘Creative Resource’ and examine the relationship of this work to the design industry and design education. ‘Creative Resource’ is an ongoing three-year programme of research focussing on the sustainable development of materials and the design process. It is investigating from a design perspective the aesthetic, economic and manufacturing potential of materials made from waste and, working with government organisations at a local and country wide level, exploring the network of partnerships between the business community, regional government and the waste management industry.

Determination Of Presence Within Virtual Space: Implications For Interface Design., Rebecca Bond Nov 2004

Determination Of Presence Within Virtual Space: Implications For Interface Design., Rebecca Bond

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper proposes that measuring and mapping perceptions of ‘presence’ (or, the experience of ‘place’ in ‘space’) may lead to a greater understanding of virtual or ‘cyber’ space experiences, and contribute to the theory of human computer interaction (HCI) and design theory. As the experimental design is focussed on how users perceive and interact in their virtual world in relation to the effect of place and space, an attempt will be made to decipher perceptions of the relatively new frontier of cyberspace, leading to new methods for representing this form of space.

Increasing Competitiveness Through The Application Of Product Design As Knowledge Creation Management., Jurie Groenewald Nov 2004

Increasing Competitiveness Through The Application Of Product Design As Knowledge Creation Management., Jurie Groenewald

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The business environment in the new millennium is becoming more competitive because of the new globalised economy and the resultant increase in customer expectations. In response, companies are increasing their competitiveness through more efficient and effective Knowledge Management (KM). Increasing a company’s competitiveness there-fore means increasing its knowledge base through inter alia innovation. The problem is that most existing KM systems are dependent on ad hoc occurrences of innovation. In contrast, the design process can systematically produce innovation and can therefore be used as a Knowledge Creation Management tool. The process whereby New Product Design systematically uses existing knowledge and …

The Idealist Practice Of Reflection: Typologies, Techniques And Ideologies For Design Researchers., Cameron Tonkinwise Nov 2004

The Idealist Practice Of Reflection: Typologies, Techniques And Ideologies For Design Researchers., Cameron Tonkinwise

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The following will attempt clarify and complexify the notion of reflective practice. Ironically, invocations of reflective practice are often themselves not at all reflective of the consequences associated with where this practice comes from. (Ecclestone 1996) Ignorance of the genealogy of reflective practice risks the practice of reflective practice being insufficiently reflective. Awareness of that geneaology opens reflective practice to more effective techniques that are otherwise missed, whilst also limiting claims about the effectivity of reflective practice more generally. To put this another way, Donald Schon’s notion of reflective practice is appealing because of its pragmatism. Developed from American pragmatist …

Appropriate Theory., Ranulph Glanville Nov 2004

Appropriate Theory., Ranulph Glanville

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The relationships that may exist between two entities are examined, and interpreted when the entities are theory and design. Relationships that sustain theory and design, together, are isolated. A test for the appropriateness of a theory to its subject is introduced. The importance of developing this test is indicated. Ways of building theory that avoid the need for an appropriateness test are also explored. The benefits and weaknesses of these various understandings are considered. While some of the work presented here is already established, the means of establishing it and the degree of abstraction are novel.

Conditions For Research Funding., Paul Van Der Lem Nov 2004

Conditions For Research Funding., Paul Van Der Lem

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper is based on published evidence of such funding of design research activities. It seeks to describe principles that have generated abilities to establish and increase streams of funding from governmental sources and the private sector with a stake in design research. Dipping into such streams of research funding, or creating them, is possible through mixing appropriate tactics and strategies of research approaches and methods. Ideas for such approaches are influenced by levels of realisation of the different needs of agents involved in creating worthwhile research. Prime movers for this process are of course the individuals concerned, but obtaining …
