Master Plan And Prototype Research Facility For The University Of New Mexico Research Park, Sam H. Robinson Jr.

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Since great emphasis is now being placed on developing our nation's scientific and technical capabilities, many universities are establishing closer liaison with private industry by inviting companies to locate on or near their campuses. This is not solely an effort by universities, for industry, too, finds it to its advantage to locate in proximity to educational institution. Their are a number of reasons why university-industry relationships are growing, but of most importance is the fact that both hav e recognized the benefits to be gained through an exchange of knowledge, personnel, and equipment

Transit Connector: A Study Of Cargo Terminals For United States Shipping Lines, Inc., William H. Cary

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The most costly factor in modern shipping is the quantity of time involved in the discharging and loading of cargo. The earning capacity of a ship depends largely on the rapidity of its turn-around or the number of voyages it can make in a year, and the turn-around can be increased to a large extent only by preventing delay in port. For a successful operation the ship's time in port must be as brief as possible. Whether at sea or in port, all the major items of expense, with the exception of fuel consumption, continue day in and out. Major …

A Basic Educational Television Station, Norman D. Noonan

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The neglect of television in general by the architectural profession is shocking, yet understandable. It has only learned recently that TV and especially E.T.V. has come into its own and that the architectural profession has opened its doors to include TV stations. Thus, for my thesis, I have decided to design a "basic" TV station, which theoretically could be used by universities, school systems, and communities throughout the western United States.

A Case Study In Light Industrial Buildings, Michael L. Norton

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The title of this thesis is "A Case Study in Light Industrial Buildings." After research in this area I am more convinced than ever that such a study is needed. The single building that represents most of today's monuments is no longer solving the problem that arises in a complex society. We as architects are no longer as naive to think that form alone can solve the challenges of the 21st century. A philosopher a few years ago said we were in an era of analysis aid that the next era would be that of suspended judgement. These qualities of …

An Elementary Educational Facility For Albuquerque, New Mexico., Arba Stinnett

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Better teaching depends on better facilities. One of the biggest problems in American education is the cell block principles on which most schools are built. It has been going on for more than one hundred years, ever since children were first separated into classes by age groups. Traditionally every class got its own teacher in its own room and both students and teachers remained in isolation. If the teacher wasn't competent in all subjects, the student suffered. If the students were brighter or slower than the average, they suffered. Today we try to solve these problems by grouping students of …

The Carrying Capacity Of Regional Park Land: An Investigation Of The Physiographic Influence On Land Use And Physical Development Of A Selected Sector Of The St. Louis Regional Park System, Kent Irvin Drew

Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is concerned with the internal development of a regional Park system. In order to understand the function of a regional park it is useful to compare the numerous kinds of outdoor areas and the activities related to each area. The general relationships are, perhaps, better understood if areas and activities are grouped, in spite of some loss in detail. Many classification systems are possible; this one is recommended by the Resources for the Future, Inc. They classify recreation areas into three meaningful types: user-oriented, intermediate, and resource-based.
