Dead End Urban Corridors: Reconnecting Urban Space, Molly Macklin
Dead End Urban Corridors: Reconnecting Urban Space, Molly Macklin
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
This proposal seeks to look at urban renewal through the analysis of main street thoroughfares that weave through the urban fabric connecting neighborhoods and people as vital life-lines within cities. How does history, culture, economics, and existing infrastructure feed these corridors? And what happens when this artery is blocked by development?
Specifically, this thesis is focused on exploring a non-urban oriented, dead-end corridor typology that has been forced onto the urban main street resulting in an area that has become blighted, underutilized, and disconnected from the surrounding urban environment.
The main argument is aimed at critiquing overlaying typologies onto …
Re-Connecting: Revitalizing Downtown Clearwater With Environmental Sensibility, Diego Duran
Re-Connecting: Revitalizing Downtown Clearwater With Environmental Sensibility, Diego Duran
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Many downtowns in North America have been severed from the rest of the city and from the contextual relationship to their surroundings. Sundered from their context, the ecological characteristics of a site are frequently taken for granted, and the disengagement of its public spaces erodes the downtown's character as well as the urban fabric.
Downtown Clearwater has lost the vitality and vibrancy that once characterized it as a lively district. Because of recent developments in the downtown area, public spaces have been lost between parking lots, high rises and a small number of sporadic residential pockets. Some of the most …

Piece To The Puzzle: Sustainable Elements Fitting Together, Heather C. Nelson
Piece To The Puzzle: Sustainable Elements Fitting Together, Heather C. Nelson
Architecture Masters of Science Program: Theses
Sustainability, green, and eco-friendly are very popular topics right now. Those words and many like them are being used in almost every industry. But it’s not just a trend, it’s a necessary movement. Using green building elements as a starting point for design, just as site, typology, and clients’ request are used, is how a sustainable building is created. These elements must be adjusted for every site because local materials, climate and community all play a role.
Deep investigation of the projects context is important. There are many factors of the site to consider. Physical aspects while important are just …
Rising Architecture, Erica M. Wiggin
Rising Architecture, Erica M. Wiggin
Architecture Theses and Projects
Many cities have experienced shrinkage in their city centers, leaving behind abandoned lots and buildings throughout the city streets. The historic city of Providence was split after the construction of I-95, leaving the west side of the city separated and in some cases abandoned from downtown. Creating a couple living communities that work together to live sustainably by producing necessities such as electricity, clean water, food and medicine will be contributing to the quality of the city as well as improving their lives by learning, developing and teaching new means of living to the rest of the community in their …
The Architecture Of The Great House In The Contemporary Postcolonial Novel, Julie Kloo
The Architecture Of The Great House In The Contemporary Postcolonial Novel, Julie Kloo
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This project explores the use of the symbol of the Western European Great House by contemporary postcolonial novelists and consists of four chapters, each focusing on the ways that the power structures connected to the Great House impact the lives of the characters in four different postcolonial locations: Ireland, South Africa, Puerto Rico, and India. The use of the Western European Great House in Edna O'Brien's House of Splendid Isolation (1994), André Brink's Imaginings of Sand (1996), Rosario Ferré's The House on the Lagoon (1995), and Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh (1995) reveals the continuing impact of colonial power …
