Urban [Boxscape], Brad W. Bolte Jan 2010

Urban [Boxscape], Brad W. Bolte

Architecture Theses and Projects

Urban [BOXSCAPE] is a method of developing upon the existing Big Box Landscape in order to synthesize commercial, environmental, and social components of civic life into an integrated solution. This urban concept is demonstrated through a design vision for a Big Box Center in Seekonk, Massachusetts. However, the guidelines and options used in this exercise are meant to exceed this site’s immediate relevance and provide a model approach for similar sites across the nation.


Contention Of Lust, Caution: Sexuality, Visuality And Female Subjectivity, Yanjie Wang Jan 2010

Contention Of Lust, Caution: Sexuality, Visuality And Female Subjectivity, Yanjie Wang

Asian and Asian American Studies Faculty Works

This paper investigates the ways in which Ang Lee provides new insights into subject formation in his film Lust, Caution (Se Jie, 2007). In the paradigm of structuralism, the subject is defined, as well as confined, by the symbolic order or the dominant ideology. The puzzle therefore rests on how to explain the subject’s negotiation with its normative identity, its denial thereof, or even its subversion of said identity. In a close reading of the female protagonist’s subject formation in Lust, Caution, this paper acknowledges the power of ideology, specifically the power of its interpellative operation, in constructing a subject. …

The Empty Tomb: Post-Critical Legal Hermeneutics, Peter Goodrich Jan 2010

The Empty Tomb: Post-Critical Legal Hermeneutics, Peter Goodrich

Nevada Law Journal

There is nothing more refreshing than a successful failure. A momentary flaring of flamboyance. A near miss. Fifteen weeks as media monarchs; a good part—a small part—of a decade as a political threat to the order of the academy, if not the stability of the system. The affective bonds and the institutional disruption of youthful and latterly not-so-young dissidents and socialist sympathizers within the law schools definitely had their excitements, their impetus and novelties, and then they grew old, got rejected, disappeared into the shadows, backrooms, and faculty lounges. The various histories assign different figures to the failure of critical …


Community Fabrication, Stephanie Falkers Jan 2010

Community Fabrication, Stephanie Falkers

Landscape Architecture Theses

This thesis set out to design for multiple people and their particular uses. To combine the desires of many and influence the way that they all use the space. Each user has defined different outcomes for the area, with no common goal to be found. Through this design, an investigation and solution will be discovered striving to combine the desires of multiple users. This thesis will not only consider the user within, but commuter and the area around it. This will require investigation into a variety of different strategies and resources.


We Call Ourselves By Many Names: Storytelling And Inter-Minority Coalition-Building, Celina Su Jan 2010

We Call Ourselves By Many Names: Storytelling And Inter-Minority Coalition-Building, Celina Su

Publications and Research

Scholars debate whether new immigrants will join minority native-born groups, especially African-Americans, in battling racial disparities, income inequalities, and discrimination in the United States. Although scholars have investigated inter-minority coalition-building in the context of electoral politics, a substantial share of newer immigrant social and political action has not been formalized. Social change organizations play an integral role in less formalized politics. The article draws upon ethnographic data on two case study organizations to investigate how they built coalitions between immigrants and non-immigrants. It pinpoints the ways in which they engaged in storytelling to emphasize multiple identity – namely, how any …


Concerning The Masked In Architecture, Fernando Bales Jan 2010

Concerning The Masked In Architecture, Fernando Bales

Architecture Theses

The thesis responds to the statement that queries the role of the designer and asks whether or not one can "unmask" that which has been covered up by our tendencies in the way we live. The typology being a master-builder university will help to resolve this issue. The unifying idea here is that through a “slowing down” in the approach to design, be it through poetic interpretation of an “artefact” or narrative one can then root a design in a tangible meaningful process. In justification: it is essential that we (as designers) slow things down in order to stop the …


Adaptive Architecture: Design For A Declining Global Population, Brian Sommerfeld Jan 2010

Adaptive Architecture: Design For A Declining Global Population, Brian Sommerfeld

Architecture Theses

In the face of a declining human population, our ability to plan for and adapt to future circumstances will be essential if we, as a global community, are to not only preserve our built environment, but also ensure its continued growth in a responsible manner. We cannot afford to ignore or be indifferent to the issue of population decline. And while it will require the cooperation and coordination of a large number of groups to develop a comprehensive plan, we as architects and members of the design community have a responsibility to develop our own set of criteria that will …


Authentic Education: The Example Of Hrotsvit Of Gandersheim, Phyllis Brown Jan 2010

Authentic Education: The Example Of Hrotsvit Of Gandersheim, Phyllis Brown

English

The Emmeram-Munich manuscript, produced around 980, contains nine of ten surviving verse narratives by Hrotsvit of Gandersheim arranged with her six plays, a poem depicting scenes from the apocalypse, and several prayers in verse, all contextualized by a series of prefaces, dedicatory poems, epilogues, and a letter to learned patrons ("sapientes. . . fautores"), who had read her work and encouraged her. Nearly everything we know about Hrotsvit's life, education, and intentions as a writer must be gleaned from this manuscript, in which she names herself multiple times. In her preface to the legends she also names two teachers, Riccardis …


Downtown Development: A Lifestyle Approach, Travis Wilke Jan 2010

Downtown Development: A Lifestyle Approach, Travis Wilke

Architecture Theses

This thesis provides some answers to the question: how can the implementation by architects of minimal energy consumption and better material utilization in design begin to stop the wasteful ways so prevalent in our current society? The typology for the examination of this problem is a mixed commercial/residential building. The Theoretical Premise/ Unifying Idea that guides the research is, “Manifest destiny, and a growing American population have created unsustainable patterns of material and energy consumption.” The project justification is that this project will explore the impact on the environment of the things we design, and help promote the idea of …


Healing Dance, Branden Kalstad Jan 2010

Healing Dance, Branden Kalstad

Architecture Theses

How can cultivation through design become the next step forward in medicine and the arts by creating a homogeneous mixture between dance and physical therapy? The typology for this exploration is therapy through a performing arts center. The Theoretical Premise / Unifying Idea that leads the research is, “the Art of Dance offers an alternative option to physical therapy other than pharmaceuticals with the guidance of physical therapy.” The Project Justification is, “Physical therapy may borrow from insights developed by dancers to help those who are disabled to move again in their world.” In the narrative we explore the importance …


Phillis Wheatley’S Abolitionist Text: The 1834 Edition, Eileen Razzari Elrod Jan 2010

Phillis Wheatley’S Abolitionist Text: The 1834 Edition, Eileen Razzari Elrod

English

The problem presented to readers by the late eighteenth-century poet Phillis Wheatley is nearly as well known as her poetry. Alongside many readers’ expressions of admiration, others have registered suspicion and disapproval, first in the eighteenth and then again in the mid- and late twentieth centuries. And nearly all of Wheatley’s critics acknowledge the centrality of the poet’s life in responses to her poetry. Whether the questions were framed in terms of literary authorship in the context of racist assumptions (as they were in the eighteenth century) or racial (as well as gendered) authenticity in the context of assumptions about …


Developing A Framework For Sustainable Design/Build/Own Buildings, Alexander Keith Gore Jan 2010

Developing A Framework For Sustainable Design/Build/Own Buildings, Alexander Keith Gore

Construction Management and Engineering

The objective of the research paper was to investigate the development of a workable framework for Sustainable Design/Build/Own buildings. Research from case studies, a literature review, and a design exercise was completed to form this framework. Currently certification programs have been slow to infiltrate small-to-medium markets. In this study, it was found that the current sustainability assessment guides can be improved by reorganizing information to reflect the driving factors of time and cost as well as by increasing access to information with the abundant sources of videos, on line guides, and internet references in a more approachable manner.

Grand Coulee Living And Retail/ An Environmental Approach Towards Sustainable Living, Christopher R. Wetch Jan 2010

Grand Coulee Living And Retail/ An Environmental Approach Towards Sustainable Living, Christopher R. Wetch

Architecture Theses

Will there be a paradigm shift in the way people build and live because of varying economic conditions? The building typology will be a sustainable mid-rise mixed use building. The world’s population currently and in the future will need to be more attentive to the general standard of living and reduce the economic burden placed on people through more efficient renewable/ recyclable design. All of humanity utilizes some form of space from birth to death. New building methods, along with sustainable practices, can benefit both the environment and the dweller by reducing operating costs and reducing the carbon footprint. The …

Examining The Relationship Between The Overexcitabilities And Self-Concepts Of Gifted Adolescents Via Multivariate Cluster Analysis, Anne N. Rinn, Sal Mendaglio, Kathleen Moritz Rudasill, Kand S. Mcqueen

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between gifted adolescents’ forms of overexcitabilities and selfconcepts. Clusters of adolescents were formed on the basis of their overexcitabilities, and these clusters of adolescents were then compared with regard to their self-concept scores. Gender differences were also examined. The sample consisted of 379 gifted adolescents, ranging in age from 11 to 16 years of age. Forms of overexcitabilities were measured using the Overexcitabilities Questionnaire–II, and various facets of self-concept were measured using the Self-Description Questionnaire–II. Using cluster analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and chi-square analysis, results suggested a distinct four-cluster …
