Ordering The Urban Environment: City Statutes And City Planning In Medieval Todi, Italy, Samuel Gruber, Samuel D. Gruber

Art & Music Histories - All Scholarship

Presents examples of how legal system and city government action ordered the urban environment through regulations and actions for streets size and widths, building materials, size and appearance, and distribution of activities. As demonstrated in the medieval Umbrian town of Todi, such regulations helped create the image of the medieval town we appreciate today.

Athletic Park For Cornell University, Kirk Narburgh

School of Architecture - Theses

The intention of this thesis investigation is to explore, through architectural form, the ideals of architectural assemblage. There will be an attempt at achieving an architecture that is in constant dialogue with the complex for which it was created. The theme is ultimately derived from the environment in which it is to be utilized, and develops its form and language out of the context. The architectural assemblage will be an attempt to find a dialogue with tradition; with historically formed values of campus planning and the enhancement of that architectural form in order to achieve a uniform whole.

Urban Prospects: A Search For Poetry In The American City Part 2, Gerard D. Damiani

Architecture Thesis Prep

This thesis is about establishing an attitude about design which argues building organization, appearance and meaning. Architecture should be a reflection of culture rather than being an instagator of change.

Fire Island, Kristi Anderson

Architecture Thesis Prep

The intention of this thesis is to integrate a contemporary building type into a historical urban context. To show that contemporary construction can be sensitive can reinforce/clarify the existing architectural conditions. The intent is to create a firehouse that acknowledges and celebrates its place as a public building. By creating a unique building in the city this thesis hopes to clarify the role of the public building in the contemporary city structure without denying the historical roots from which it grew.

How To Make Architecture Today In Yesterday's Cities, Andres A. Hirmas

Architecture Senior Theses

"I tihnk that just by reading the title, one can know what the objectives can be: 'How to make architecture today in yesterday's cities.' Any architectural task requires the consideration of a series of variable; now, if we add to this the respect for what exists, which , by the way, should never be left aside, then we get across two prevailing positions..."

Fusion Of Reality And Virtual Reality, Narin Sappakit

Architecture Thesis Prep

"This thesis is focused on the implications of digital technology within the relationship between film and architecture, from the use of architectonic elements in film that has the potential to build a complex, nonlinear space or new reality. I contend that through the use of digital technology, it will effect and change people's perception and experience of space in time, which will create a fusion of physical and virtual spaces, and will blur the boundary between reality and the virtual."

The School wishes to give special thanks to Mr. James Britton, a member of the Rutgers Presbyterian Church and friend of the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. It was in May of 1986 that Mr. Britton suggested this project to Dean Werner Seligmann and myself as a possible studio project for our students. His belief that this project could be of educational benefit to our students was accurate, and all those who participated have a sense of indebtedness to him for his insights and encouragement.

Wolkenkratzer - Auf Der Suche Nach Einer Neuen Identität, M. J. Heidelberger

Architecture Senior Theses

"Wie werden die Metropolen von Morgen aussehen? Wolkenkartzer, Hochhauser sind trotz ihrer eigenen Esthetik immer im urbanen Kontext zu sehen und inbesonder gerade daraufhin kritisch zu beurteilen.

Dieser Gebausetypus ist ein vielverwendetes Element in unseren Staedten und aufgrund wirtschaftlicher Aspekte zum sicherlich in quantitativer Hinsieche unsere Staedte überflutet, inqualitativer Hinsicht jedoch mehr Negatives als Positives für die Stadt bewirkt"

Harlem On My Mind, Shawn L. Rickenbacker

Architecture Thesis Prep

The thesis is an attempt to create an architecture capable of providing an identifiable urban marker: The intention of the marker placed in a specific composition will be to designate the area as a unique urban sector of the larger city. This in turn will make the architecture a social catalyst activating thought and speculation toward itself and its surrounding (respective sector). It is primarily for this reason the architecture created must be conscious of the sector's cultural and functional needs; Providing a cultural progress center. The site's relationship to the larger city acts as a gateway or threshold to …

Harlem On My Mind, Shawn L. Rickenbacker

Architecture Senior Theses

The thesis involves directly establishing a coherent dialogue between participants and architecture. The site and architecture involved are only a catalyst to the area it is representing, Harlem. However, the project will have the responsibilities of designating itself as a primary theshold to the famous ditricts and attracting would be participants. It is for this reason the program of cultural progress centre has been chosen in the interest of providing a stimulation program. The intention of the proposed centre is not to compete with the district or communty in which it lies, but to act as its subordinate. This will …

A Gateway To The Campus, Caterina Frisone

"The thesis proposal is the design of a master plan for Syracuse UNiversity. The S.U.

Urban Stadium, Eric Moss

Architecture Senior Theses

Certain major urban elements have been pished into suburban environments to the detriment of cities. The thesis proposed that through investigating the implications of reinserting such a building into the urban condition, it can be demonstrated that both the city and the facility will benefit. The vehicle is the design of a public building which must mediate between its needs and its urban conditions. The project therefore should have a program which has specific requirements and the site should have a strong urban dynamic.

59th Street Bridge Museum And Market, Marciano Martin

School of Architecture - All Scholarship

This thesis is to serve as an investigation and response into the architectural issue of scale juxtaposition. In this case the condition which occurs is the result of a modern feat of engineering at one scale, disrupting and imposing itself onto an urban and historical context which is at a more intimate scale. Consequently, there is a loss of identity or spatial relationships in the urban context, which may have existed prior to this modern intervention. It is my goal to take advantage and develop a response to these disparate scales and their images. It is also the opportunity for …
