Suburban Landmarks In North Arlington: Perceptions Of Experts And Non-Experts, Su-Yu Cheng
Suburban Landmarks In North Arlington: Perceptions Of Experts And Non-Experts, Su-Yu Cheng
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Each individual perceives the world differently and attains knowledge in distinct ways (Rapoport 1977). With regard to perception about specific places, some individuals function as "insiders." This means their perceptions are engaged with place through daily experiences familiarizing them with the landscape. Others function as "outsiders," ¬¬unconcerned with or unaware of landscape events, thereby perceiving only the surfaces meaning of such events (Dearden 1984, Craik 1970, Bourassa 1991). One example of this dichotomy between insiders and outsiders can be found among design experts and non-experts. Design experts, such as landscape architects, architects, and planners, are directly involved with landscape aesthetics …
North Texas Stakeholders: Perceptions Of Extensive Green Roofs, Matthew Heath House
North Texas Stakeholders: Perceptions Of Extensive Green Roofs, Matthew Heath House
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Green roofs are not a new technology. The first recorded green roof was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon built by King Nebuchadnezzar for his wife Amyitis who missed her lush homeland (Osmundson 1999). However, since the late 1990s, the term green roof has taken on ecological and social significance beyond its seemingly simplistic description. The term has become an epithet for the reduction of pollution and urban heat islands, for large scale mitigation of storm water run-off, and for maximum utilization of urban land (Cantor 2008). This research examines perceptions about extensive green roofs held by developers, city officials, architects, …
Multi-National Licensure In Landscape Architecture: Searching For Its Impact On The Profession, Madhavi B. Sonar
Multi-National Licensure In Landscape Architecture: Searching For Its Impact On The Profession, Madhavi B. Sonar
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This thesis summarizes the knowledge base and understanding of key informants regarding multi-national licensure in landscape architecture, a topic made timely because of the increase in international practice by landscape architects, and differences in the profession's standards and regulations globally. It also examines the potential impacts of multi-national licensure on the profession.To accomplish this, the thesis examines licensure practices in both landscape architecture and architecture (which is more familiar with issues of international practice,) and it focuses on implications of the issues on professional practice and academic practice in landscape architecture. This research is based on the hypothesis that the …

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Providing quality urban spaces including plazas and pedestrian malls encourages use of the Central Business District (CBD) and stimulates a vibrant atmosphere for casual strolling, window shopping, and browsing (Rubenstein, 1992). Dallas, Texas, which in many people's minds defines the term `automobile city', has developed and implemented a visionary plan since the early 1990s' for using light rail as a tool for economic growth and community development. Thus, Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART's) starter system of light rail opened in June 1996, and a city that grew up with the automobile embraced transit as an integral part of its future …

Reno is also served by a General Aviation Airport, Cox Field, located south of the City within Paris. Officials from the City of Reno approached the Institute of Urban Studies (IUS) at The University of Texas at Arlington with a request to undertake an economic assessment for the city. This study identifies Reno's current commercial, retail, and industrial conditions, and assesses future growth potential, providing a foundation for realistic and targeted economic development. The study …
Understanding Social Networks In Frazier Courts Hope Vi Development, Christopher Buentello
Understanding Social Networks In Frazier Courts Hope Vi Development, Christopher Buentello
Planning Theses - Archive
The HOPE VI program enacted in 1992 represented a shift in public housing by addressing resident's needs through physical design improvements, self-sufficiency programs, and the deconcentration of poverty. Funding through HOPE VI allowed local housing authorities to demolish deteriorated public housing units and replace them with new income-inclusive housing units. The "hope" would be that low income residents would interact with middle income residents to access resources that are normally beyond the reach of low income individuals. This assumes of course that residents will interact amongst each other. Therefore, I conducted a survey of residents at Dallas' Frazier Courts to …
Preparing For The Hearth Act: Preventing And Ending Homelessness At The Local Level, Laura Kunkel
Preparing For The Hearth Act: Preventing And Ending Homelessness At The Local Level, Laura Kunkel
Planning Theses - Archive
The HEARTH Act of 2009 expands care to people experiencing homelessness by giving communities more freedom in allocation of their resources based on their ability to produce measurable results. Although regulations have not been released on this legislation, communities, called Continuums of Care, can prepare for program changes by monitoring current data for areas in need of growth within the system. One of the goals included in the statute is to move a homeless family from an emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing within 30 days. This paper uses data from the Annual Progress Reports from grantees in the Continuum …
Impacts Of Urbanization On Environmental Resources: A Land Use Planning Perspective, Gehendra Kharel
Impacts Of Urbanization On Environmental Resources: A Land Use Planning Perspective, Gehendra Kharel
Planning Theses - Archive
The main purpose of this thesis is to (1) study the impacts of urbanization on environmental resources, and (2) propose land use planning strategies to avoid or at least minimize the impacts from future land use planning and decision making process. Urbanization, one of the major drivers of land use change, has profound impacts on environmental resources. It has been revealed that more than one third of the U.S. water resources have already been impaired or polluted, and many species have become endangered or threatened with some already gone extinct and more on line. My analysis of the impact of …
The Walkable Neighborhood Based On Retail Requirements: Impact Of Population Density On Market Area, Kendal V. Pope
The Walkable Neighborhood Based On Retail Requirements: Impact Of Population Density On Market Area, Kendal V. Pope
Planning Theses - Archive
Recent planning thought has focused on how to configure the city to reduce dependence on private automobiles. One important strain of this thinking is how to promote a city where daily needs can be satisfied on foot. Using the tools of Central Place Theory and Demand Threshold analysis, this work studies the required population density to bring grocery shopping within pedestrian range of the population. The analysis is based on the grocery market in Dallas County, Texas. As long as economies of scale and consumer price sensitivity continue to operate as they have, the alternatives will remain much higher density …

Influences And Mental Processes Involved In Generating Creative Products: Their Implications For Landscape Architects, Theunis Willem Devilliers
Influences And Mental Processes Involved In Generating Creative Products: Their Implications For Landscape Architects, Theunis Willem Devilliers
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Creativity is the ability to bring something new into existence consciously with `something new' being a product resulting from a process initiated by a person (Barron, 1988.) It may be an idea, an artwork of acknowledged greatness, a scientific discovery, the solution to a problem, leadership abilities, or theories and products that are unique and novel (Barron, 1988.)Influences involved in generating creative products include the social and historical milieu in which creativity is carried out, a culturally defined domain, the creative person's personality, cognitive factors, and motivational characteristics. The topic of creativity is appropriate for landscape architecture because creative products …
An Examination Of The Role For Landscape Architects In The No Child Left Inside Movement, Wade Miller
An Examination Of The Role For Landscape Architects In The No Child Left Inside Movement, Wade Miller
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
The disconnection, or lack of interaction and experience, between children and nature has been coined Nature Deficit Disorder and popularized by Louv (Louv 2005, pp. 139-140). Current research and writing regarding the child and nature disconnect has spawned the No Child Left Inside movement. This movement is an initiative being adopted by cities, states, federal agencies and other organizations committed to reconnecting children with nature by providing a wide range of opportunities to experience nature directly, while building the next generation of environmentally conscious citizens.This research examines how landscape architecture is viewed by those associated with Children and Nature Network …

Le Corbusier And The Daughter Of Light: Color And Architecture Of The 1920s, Gayla Jett Shannon
School of Architecture Theses - Archive
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, used color in his architecture to modulate form and volume. This research evaluates the possible rationales for the application of color in his architecture of the Purist phase, the 1920s, and compares it to the Munsell system of color notation in two case studies; Maison La Roche and Villa Savoye.
Dialectic Aesthetics: The Landscape Aesthetics Of Steven Bourassa And The Architecture Aesthetics Of Roger Scruton, Jacob M. Baker
Dialectic Aesthetics: The Landscape Aesthetics Of Steven Bourassa And The Architecture Aesthetics Of Roger Scruton, Jacob M. Baker
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This paper explores the similarities and differences between Roger Scruton's The Aesthetics of Architecture and Steven Bourassa's The Aesthetics of Landscape. The purpose of Scruton's book, according to Scruton, is to introduce readers to aesthetics. Architecture was chosen as the explanatory device because it poses unique problems to aesthetics. One such problem, Scruton explains, is that architecture is not just an aesthetic object; it also must satisfy human needs. This separates architecture from other arts that are not required to satisfy the same human needs. Scruton also chose architecture because in his opinion, no one up to that point, (1979,) …

Labyrinths In The Landscape: Who Is Recommending, Who Is Using, And Are There Benefits, William Skeet Norton
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
The labyrinth is a symbol known to exist for at least for four thousand years. It has been used in many cultures and religions throughout its existence as a symbol for the journey of life, a sacred space to pray, and a place of meditation and contemplation. After several hundred years of absence, the labyrinth is regaining popularity in modern cultures and religions, and is thought to be beneficial to the mind, body, and spirit. Many of the contemporary labyrinths are in the outdoor-built environment. This research assists landscape architects in understanding who is recommending labyrinths, using labyrinths, and the …

The Search For Appropriate Form: The Relationship Between Landscape Architecture And Art In Three Time Periods, Elizabeth Matlock
The Search For Appropriate Form: The Relationship Between Landscape Architecture And Art In Three Time Periods, Elizabeth Matlock
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Art and landscape architecture are both a means through which man can explore the natural world around him; they provide an opportunity for self expression and reflection. This thesis is based on the hypothesis that several times throughout history landscape architects and designers have looked to art for inspiration in times of change within the profession and that as that relationship evolved the roles have reversed. In the past landscape architects and designers have looked to art for inspiration, now artists are looking to landscape architects for inspiration and form determination. Three periods of history exemplify this changing relationship: the …

The system and its associated survey are designed to provide them with the ability to store and organize a variety of data on the way in which they prepare individuals to become landscape architects. The system also enables these educators to compare and contrast their institution with groups of other institutions. The goal of the system's creators is to establish the most complete …
The Relationship Between Designed Urban Environments And Skateboarding In Downtown Fort Worth, Nicholas Glade Nelson
The Relationship Between Designed Urban Environments And Skateboarding In Downtown Fort Worth, Nicholas Glade Nelson
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Cities are a collection of designed environments. In turn, these environments consist of parts that vary in scale from districts to light fixtures. The design of outdoor urban environments is a dynamic and collaborative process of arranging these parts to create places with purpose. Evidence of this can be found in the numerous professions that participate in the design of urban environments (Eckbo, 1964). Such is the case in the city of Fort Worth, Texas. With many participants, often unilaterally, contributing to the design of built urban environments, not all of the ensuing results are intentional. The objective of this …
Tree Preservation And Its Impact On Residential Development And Real Estate Value, Melissa Gerstle
Tree Preservation And Its Impact On Residential Development And Real Estate Value, Melissa Gerstle
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Mature trees create more attractive residential neighborhoods and contribute a significant amount to the resale value of a home (Benotto, 2002). According to the National Arbor Day Foundation, one mature tree can amount to at least $10,000 of a home's resale value and will typically account for 15 percent of the property's value (Benotto 2002). In addition, the combined economic value of a street lined with mature trees is greater than the net sum of the value of the individual trees (Benotto 2002). While large, mature trees add substantial economic value to a residential development, tree growth is a slow …
