The study offers long-range forecasts of student enrollment by campus and grade level for the Irving Independent School District. The forecasts were generated by a Dallas - Fort Worth Regional Model and are based on disaggregated population and employment projections for the metropolitan area. Three different sources of regional employment projections were used, providing grounds for comparison ranging from more conservative to more optimistic economic growth scenarios. ** Contact [email protected] if you are the author.**

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1991 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. La Jolla Office and Hotel. Melissa Bernard. The scheme snakes around a hill and, being situated in a valley, its profile creates a new hill. It becomes part of the existing rhythm of rolling hills and valleys of La Jolla, with views focused into the hills. As the angular form twists through the land, it separates to enclose a linear courtyard. Offices flanking both sides of an interior path have views facing outward or into the courtyard. Hotel rooms are positioned …

A Border Crossing Station, Brownsville, Texas, Steven Quevedo May 1989

A Border Crossing Station, Brownsville, Texas, Steven Quevedo

School of Architecture Theses - Archive

The increasing influx of Latin Americans into the Southwest United States as a result of social, political and economic upheaval in their homelands is a growing concern for the state of Texas. A new immigration station is proposed for the Texas - Mexico border which would be essential to the journey of the international migrant. Serving simultaneously both as an administrative and educational facility, this place of entry into the United States would serve to enhance the immigrant's arrival and adaptation to their new world. The complex would represent the freedoms provided by the Constitution, serving symbolically as a haven …

A Museum Of Photography In The West End Historic District Of Downtown Dallas, Meredith Bynum

School of Architecture Theses - Archive

To design a museum that emphasizes the perceptual and experiential aspects of viewing photographs and films that responds to the urban context of the West End Historical District. The Museum experience will emphasize a progression through a variety of spaces designed to emphasize the viewing of two-dimensional images and contrasting this experience with three-dimensional real space. An inquiry into the nature of photography is an on-going concern that will be reflected in the building. **UTA Libraries seeks the author of the publication about the status of their work**

A museum in Chicago to house a replica of a Viking ship sits between the edge of Lake Michigan and a tree-covered park.

The park extends into the museum, separating it into two sections: the entry to the museum and gift shop, and the gallery that …

A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall May 1988

A Sensory Garden For The Dallas Arboretum, Betty Bornefeld Presnall

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

Design is most often carried out as an aesthetic exercise in visual affect and spatial treatment. If more stimulation of other human senses (orienting, auditory, smell / taste, visual, and haptic) were to occur in a place, perhaps the place would become more meaningful and memorable. In an effort to address this hypothesis, a Sensory Garden was designed, and hopefully will be implemented. As far as can be determined no other gardens in the United States exist which were designed explicitly to stimulate all the senses. There is a Fragrance Garden at the Strybing Arboretum at Golden Gate Park in …

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1987 spring semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Housing, Office, Commercial, Hotel Complex. Forms rise and fall in consonance with the swirling, rising and descending highway intersections of highway 360 and 183 in Arlington in scheme one. Sections appear to parallel the highway or radiate from a center point of a circle. Portions of a hill where highway 20 in Arlington separates, is radically removed in scheme two. It is then rebuilt with the original profile of the hill as a backbone-like ridge line of office space, which rhythmically …

City Hall Square, Waco, Texas, Paul Weathers May 1986

City Hall Square, Waco, Texas, Paul Weathers

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

A Town Square has existed in Waco since the city was established in 1850. The history of the square in Waco is similar to the development of other cities and open spaces in the nineteenth century American west. In attempting to create a Square for Waco certain issues are addressed concerning the application of appropriate urban forms to a site which has drastically changes in the last twenty years. Urban renewal razed many of the structures which defined the urban fabric. Newer structures were erected on the open site which had no relation to the historical and physical context of …

A Performing Arts Center For Arlington, Texas, Rebecca L. Boles May 1984

A Performing Arts Center For Arlington, Texas, Rebecca L. Boles

School of Architecture Theses - Archive

In the spring of 1983, several Arlington community groups formed the Performing Arts Coalition. Foremost among their priorities was the establishment of a Performing Arts Center for their community. Arlington undisputedly needs a cultural center and the growth of coalition groups is proof that the city has sufficient interest to sustain such an effort. A performing arts center would be beneficial to the coalition for many reasons. Shared staff and facilities increases the cost effectiveness of the member organizations. A consolidation of facilities would produce the best equipped showcase for the performing arts, and the consolidation of creative talent and …

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1983 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Student Centre. Jay Hoffman and Darrel Fields. The challenge for the project was to site a student centre at the heart of the UTA campus without impeding upon one of its few green open spaces. This is achieved by creating a profile that folds the land into the sky to a height that responds to the adjacent buildings. Two grass-covered hills replace a flat landscape to form a groundscraper which contains the programmatic functions. Crossing paths tunnel through the higher elements …

1982.2 - Housing Arlington, Martin Price, Randol Byrd, Kevin Crumpler

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1982 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Housing. Randol Byrd and Kevin Crumpler. The Arlington housing project is an urban model which creates lyrical form by subtracting volumes of space from an overall sloping roof plane. It is making "hollow in bump." The diagonal line creates a basic order of form in this multi-unit project. Subtle folds of the sloping roof, together with the bending of walls, create a natural, meandering rhythmic order. Stepped windows intersect stepped solid areas below the windows, to form a yin-yang relationship.

A Guide To Revenue Administration For Small Cities, Institute Of Urban Studies

Institute of Urban Studies Publications - Archive

Commencing with California's passage of Proposition 13, cities and towns throughout the nation have been compelled to re-examine their reliance on traditional revenue sources. Whether or not there has in fact been a universal "taxpayer revolt", the economic conditions of the past few years have caused both city officials and the public at large to seek relief from the increasing burden of the property tax. Believing that an analysis of other municipal revenue sources, whether existing or potential, might benefit Texas cities and towns, the Institute of Urban Studies obtained a grant under Title I of the Higher Education Act …

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1980 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Dormitory. Robert Meckfessel. The aim of positioning the dorm at the periphery of the UTA commuter parking lot, is to attempt to socially intermix the student residents with students who commute to campus. The three dormitory pathways meander across a pond and form a connection to the University. These paths define the form of the linear buildings and arrive at a plaza that focuses on the main route through the campus. Roof profiles also meander and join an earth berm, giving …
