The Dynamics Of Micro-Location: The Potentials Of Airspace In Urban Design, Ira A. Chilton

Architecture Master Theses

This thesis is an investigation into the analeptic potentials of airspace utilization in urban areas. The study emphasizes airspace utilization as a dynamic locational catalyst for urban revitalization, and has two fundamental purposes. The first is to attempt to clarify the relevance of using airspace as a tool for pursuing efficient and effective use of the limited and valuable supply of central city land. And the second is to pursue a catalytic process for obtaining socioeconomic goals through the multiple use of transportation rights-of-way. In the final phase, these concepts will be briefly elaborated in a case study applied to …

An Approach To Participation In Housing, Georg Wolfgang Reinberg

Architecture Master Theses

In our increasingly complex society a growing centralism tends to bring more and more decisions out of the control of the user. This is too often not to the advantage of the citizens whose desires are bypassed. This results in breakdowns in the processing involved in planning and an increasing demand for participatory democracy.

In this thesis a design process for housing is proposed which allows the users to participate and to deal with the existing power structure, in so far as it puts constraints on their homes. this design process is then translated into a game which could serve …

Indigenous African Systems As A Basis For Rational Housing: A Proposal, Ibrahim N'Jai Yilla

Architecture Master Theses

In this report I undertake a study of the criteria involved in designing a suitable housing system for tropical Africa with particular emphasis on my native country Sierra Leone. I focus attention particularly upon the indigenous built system, the country's environment, resources and way of life enjoyed by its people. I feel a study of this nature would give me invaluable insight into the problems facing developing African countries in providing adequate housing.

The scope of this research is to define and propose a housing system, based on a good understanding of the indigenous system, which offers a multiplicity of …

A Leprosy Research Center In India, Vinoobhai Baboobhai Amin

Architecture Master Theses

With an estimated number of about 2.2 million cases in India, leprosy is one of our (Indian) important public health problems. With great regret, we have to accept the fact that the present knowledge of leprosy by our people is very, very meager.

In fact, the facilities for leprosy treatment and research provided by the Government of India are very limited. Moreover, few Indian architects have contributed their services towards the problem of designing an adequate leprosy campus.

I have prepared this thesis in the hope that it will contribute some pragmatic design concepts of rehabilitation programs for lepers, concerning …

The Neighborhood As A Focus For Development, Bob Neil Scher

Architecture Master Theses

One of the purposes of urban design is an understanding, a knowledge of the urban environment. The purpose of this investigation, a thesis is urban design, was to discover strong, recurrent patterns within the city relevant to urban design as a discipline. It was found that such patterns did exist, in the form of population-migration patterns.

A theory of urban development/redevelopment was constructed as an enhancement of the already existent social pattern, in an attempt to enrich the urban experience within the structure of an average large metropolitan agglomeration.

Restoration Versus Demolition: Case History Of Amsterdam, New York, Raymond Joseph William Andrews

Architecture Master Theses

The purpose of this study is to disclose why Amsterdam, New York -- like thousands of other cities in the United States -- has shunned restoration. It is hoped these findings will prove the worth of the ordinary old buildings and that the revitalization of the urban fabric does not follow from demolition and newness.

Proposed Redevelopment: Solvay Process Wastebeds, Michael Joseph Starego

Architecture Master Theses

The planned development of the Solvay Process Wastebeds will be a classic case of environmental planning. The need for more planned open spaces becomes more evident and necessary as the population of Syracuse spreads and increases. The creation of the Solvay "Open Space" can draw on the network of existing open spaces within the region and the gradual reclamation of Onondaga Lake.

The knowledge we now have, compared with the early years of the wastebeds, is considerable and should enable a better plan to be made incorporating them into the life of the community. There are of course, no general …

The Impact Of Building Code Regulation On The Manufactured Housing And Mobile Home Industries, Robert Ernest Johnson

Architecture Master Theses

Efforts/to understand the relationship of the built environment to the context in which it is placed are constantly expanding into new areas. This is, of course, due to the fact that architecture is concerned with the "total system" and thus deals directly with a wide range of disciplines.

This study centers on one aspect of the larger problem. It is concerned first with the organization of the construction industry and the effect: this organization has had on the development of industrialized housing. Secondly, the study focuses on a specific aspect of the construction industry that has significantly affected the growth …

A Guideline For Master Plans In Cities In The Mexican Republic, Carlos Eduardo Inda Hernandez

Architecture Master Theses

The purpose of my thesis is to study a guideline for Planning Agencies, using as their main tool the master plan and always with the idea that the planner and the political official would be working together. It will be useful to study the planning tools in the U.S., and the organization of planning in European countries and decide what could be used and what not, to study the variations to suit the Mexican scene and the different Mexican cities.

Urban Renewal In Syracuse: The Near East Side, Lester Fredrick Volker Ii

Architecture Master Theses

Syracuse has not escaped the problem of slums. Like and other city it is blighted, decayed areas which are encroaching upon sound neighborhoods. Many times this problem has gone unchecked mainly because no one has known how to handle it. This is not to say that people have not tried. Slums certainly are not something new-- ever since cities began there have been poorer, more deteriorating section compared with other parts of the city. From the start of cities until today attempts have been made to arrest the spread of this blight. Many times these attempts have failed because the …

An Approach To Open Building Systems Building Product Information Retrieval, Josh Gurlitz

Architecture Master Theses

The efficient utilization of information about marketed building products is a requisite for open building systems. There exist, however, few rationalized methods of product information transfer. The methods available to most practitioners do not afford a large range of performance information with a high degree of access are presently beyond the economic reach of most practitioners.

The method proposed here utilizes an intermediate technological vehicle which allows efficient accessibility coupled with a cost factor which may enable its use by many practicing architects. This system is based upon the categorization of performance criteria and the subsequent selection of building products …

Proposed Gananda New Community, Pelagia Aquino Posadas

Architecture Master Theses

This paper is an attempt to construct a model for a community which is called Gananda New Community. Its purpose is to provide an innovative community which will be coordinated with the existing social structures in the towns of Walworth and Macedon. It will serve, when completed, the eastern half of the standard metropolitan statistical area of the Rochester region, the estimated population of 85,000 people of the new community, and the residents of Wayne County.
