A Flight Into Technology: An Investigation Of Building And Telecommunication Technology, Bruce A. T. Siska

Architecture Senior Theses

"A new physical infrastructure to support activities based on communications and the transmission of information is being developed. Part of this infrastructure includes the construction of "intelligent" buildings that are seen to play as important a role in improving of office workers as automation has played on the shop floor of manufacturing industry. The term "intelligent" is used to describe buildings which provide an adaptive environment of high quality, energy efficiency, security and safety, permitting optimized information flows - both internally and externally - so that its functionality is largely independent of location."

Csumb: Military Base Conversion As An Opportunity For Sustainable Design, Margot Mcdonald, Polly Cooper, Ken Haggard

Architecture

The conversion of military bases around the country creates an imperative to infuse social, economic, and environmental vitality back into the affected region. Fort Ord in Monterey County, a recent casualty of base closures, is being turned into an opportunity for adaptive reuse as it undergoes the transformation from an army base to a magnet campus for the California State University (CSU) system. The CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB) campus visionaries included sustainability as a priority in the base conversion. To achieve this goal, the university hired a team of sustainable design consultants. This paper reports on the outcomes of the …

Les Linteaux En Batière Romans D'Auvergne. Recherche Sur La Typologie Et Les Origines, William Folkestad, Joan Nilsson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Arts and Humanities

The pentagonal lintel common to Romanesque churches of the Auvergne region of France appears first in Carolingian church architecture. There are indications that, because pentagonal lintels result from the same sculptural technique used to produce sarcophagi lids from the Roman through the Ottonian periods, this peculiar lintel form may have been derived from a widespread quarry practice that facilitated its adoption as a regular architectural element. The pentagonal lintels of the Auvergne are characterized by three distinct lintel formats consisting of various combinations of plain, painted, or sculpted lintels and plain, ornamented, or sculpted tympana. Pentagonal lintels provide insights into …

A New Home For The Philadelphia Orchestra, Avril Farnsworth

Architecture Thesis Prep

"Due to Philadelphia's position as a cultural center, there is a need to build upon the idea of the Avenue of the Arts as a cultural event within the urban fabric by celebrating the role of the Philadelphia Orchestra as a monumental symbol to the city...

The intent of this thesis will be to interpret the cultural event of the orchestra into contemporary terms; to explore the idea of architectural promenade and how it relates to the spatial experience; to elucidate the idea of cultural monument as an event within the existing city fabric."

The Providence Renaissance Center, Dante J. Boffi

Architecture Thesis Prep

"The intent of this thesis is to create an urban gateway through the architectural manipulation of a city's edge. Physical and visual linkages will be carried from an urban center to the surrounding context by using a specific piece of architecture as the focal point. Issues such as the pedestrian/city relationship and the notion of architecture as a cultural symbol will help to inform and direct the thesis."

This problem, The Analysis of a Bay, is a preparatory exercise directly related to the major architectural design project for this semester, and its particular focus on design development. The following statement by Professor Val Warke (The Cornell Journal of Architecture 3) clearly outlines the rationale and pedagogical objectives for such an exercise.

Using Automated Emergency Notification Systems To Inform The Public: A Field Experiment, Richard C. Rich, W. David Conn

City and Regional Planning

Research and experience have shown that it can be difficult to get citizens to pay attention to risk messages and preparedness information in the absence of an actual emergency. As the use computerized systems that alert the public to hazards by automatically ringing their home phones increases, we thought it important to ask if tests of these “call down” systems can also be used to convey preemergency information. We worked with a local government to add instructions on how to shelter-in-place to the message on a routine test of a call down system. We then surveyed a test group and …

Mary And The Biblical Heritage

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

Throughout the ages, the Church and her teachers often acknowledged that the fourfold Gospel offers only a limited number of passages that feature the Mother of Jesus. Undaunted, the great doctors of the early Church and the theologians of the Middle Ages found abundant resources for their meditation concerning Mary in the Jewish Scriptures and literature related to the New Testament. The theological premise that God is the principal author of the entire Bible led them to find hints and images of the Messiah everywhere. Recognizing that the link of Jesus to the people of Israel is Mary, his Mother, …

Fannie’S Flirtations: Etiquette, Reality, And The Age Of Choice, Sue Lynn Mcdaniel

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

The 1890s were, for bright young females, an age of choice. Despite admonitions that flirting would ruin their reputations, many south central Kentucky adolescents enjoyed courtship rituals and remained highly respected in their communities. For every Charlotte Perkins Gilman with a mission set on advancing the status of women within our society, numerous females existed simply to enjoy life’s fullness and frivolity. Fannie Morton Bryan’s life story, as told through her diaries and newspaper accounts, gives readers a glimpse of the many rather than the few, the fun-loving rather than the serious-minded, and the old maid flirt in the largest …

Sabbatical Leave Report, Ted Becker

Sabbaticals

As new technology rapidly changes the construction industry, we feel it is imperative that our programs are restructured to reflect these changes. In order to accomplish the goals of this sabbatical leave, I was to visit with our program advisory committee and a diverse group of companies and government agencies that would be willing to discuss what new technology they are using, or give us advice on additions and changes needed in our program. Our goal is to prepare out students with the most up-to-date and relative education that meets the industry entry level employment needs. The second objective is …

The Evaluation And Review Of Landscape Architectural Faculty: The Results Of A Survey Of Schools Of Landscape Architecture, Gary O. Robinette

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications - Archive

The first standards for the evaluation of educational programs developed by the American Society of Landscape Architects contained a call for the evaluation of faculty effectiveness. In the intervening years, there have been efforts by the various educational programs to continue to find the most effective methods for measuring faculty competence. However, to-date there has been no collection or organization of these devices used either by students, by peers or by university administrators in this profession. This, then, is the first attempt to do just that and it has involved four phases, which were: the development of the questionnaire, the …
