A Translation Of Art: How Architecture Infused With Music Educates Humankind, Kamryn Nicole Brecht
A Translation Of Art: How Architecture Infused With Music Educates Humankind, Kamryn Nicole Brecht
Architecture Theses
During the 18th century, humans started to perceive the world around them differently. Structures were designed with the assumption that the meaning of the building would follow afterwards, instead of building with initial purpose. The world we reside in is now full of buildings that are cheaply constructed, unaesthetic, and not serving the needs of a site or its corresponding community. To return to architecture with meaning, architecture must once again be used as a narration for human life. This thesis is a study on how the art of music can be translated into the field of architecture in a …

Meeting Inevitabilities: How Architecture Can Aid In Our Acceptance Of Death And Improvement Of Life, Caitlyn E. Kolling
Architecture Theses
Meeting Inevitabilities seeks to explore design in relation to life, death, and memory. In the modern age, there is a significant lack of space for human interaction and connection surrounding the events of death, which further contributes to the divergence of death from life, life from memory, and memory from death. The designs aim to bring forth the divergence in one space, and explode the ideas and design outwards, where these three elements can be perceived together in a new way, in a reversible convergence.

Absorbent Minds: Challenging Utopia Through Atmospheric Architecture, Kaitlyn Marie Bridgeman
Absorbent Minds: Challenging Utopia Through Atmospheric Architecture, Kaitlyn Marie Bridgeman
Architecture Theses
Since the time of John Amos Comenius the way in which we teach has remained constant. A simplified metaphor for learning amplifies the argument that the view of early education is in a utopian state. When in reality the curriculum is a mold to fit learners into, that prepares them to become a cog in the wheel we call the workforce. The goal is to combat this problem using principles from both the Maria Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches to learning to create an atmosphere that inspires learners and allows for the flourishing of creativity and self-discovery. This thesis aims …

Expedition Interim: Projects On A Journey Towards Equity, Cody Jorrell Jr. Loud
Expedition Interim: Projects On A Journey Towards Equity, Cody Jorrell Jr. Loud
Architecture Theses
As systemic local inequities continue to malform cities without official accountability, the options for architectural intervention seem limited. Not many artistic avenues exist to combat issues of unilaterally failing infrastructure; and to address an issue so thickly sown across modern cities may require intervention at an infrastructural scale. Additionally, what’s catalyzing displacement in one neighborhood may be different in another. This thesis explores how we could respond to the nuances of cities like Seattle, Chicago, or New York City. And how can a project have both a practical usage and convey a symbolic stance against inequity by simply being? This …

The North–South Divide? Macroalgal Functional Trait Diversity And Redundancy Varies With Intertidal Aspect, Axelle Amstutz, Louise B. Firth, Andy Foggo, John I. Spicer, Mick E. Hanley
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Background and Aims Marine macroalgae (‘seaweeds’) are critical to coastal ecosystem structure and function, but also vulnerable to the many environmental changes associated with anthropogenic climate change (ACC). The local habitat conditions underpinning observed and predicted ACC-driven changes in intertidal macroalgal communities are complex and probably site-specific and operate in addition to more commonly reported regional factors such as sea surface temperatures. Methods We examined how the composition and functional trait expression of macroalgal communities in SW England varied with aspect (i.e. north–south orientation) at four sites with opposing Equator- (EF) and Pole-facing (PF) surfaces. Previous work at these sites …
