Communication And Instructional Research Center For The University Of New Mexico, Henry G. Miller

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Today in universities throughout the country, student enrollment is increasing faster than the number of qualified instructors. If the faculty of the university is going to effectively meet this challenge each member must be able to instruct more students without increasing the number of classroom hours per week. To meet this demand put upon the instructor, the university is faced with a problem of communication. There must be a revision in the methods of teaching now employed, keeping the sound instructional techniques and expanding upon them with the technology of communication.

A Catholic Church For Annunciation Parish Albuquerque, New Mexico, Philip Edward Franks

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The purpose of this study is to research and design a Catholic Church for Annunciation Parish in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Upon speaking to the pastor of the church, Monsignor Coggiola-Mower, I found him quite willing to devote some time to explaining the basic ideas, beliefs, and needs of the church. Since the parish has long-range plans for a church on a site which they now own, my proposal will be in line with a need that will exist in the future if it does not already exist.

A Downtown Airpark For Albuquerque, New Mexico, Richard Walter Waggoner

Architecture and Planning ETDs

An airport is much like a telephone -- it has little use by itself, but becomes increasingly useful as its numbers grow.

The time interval in aircraft improvement will be shortened to a degree comparable to the time mastery of the principle of aviation itself. Consequently, for airport planning it is not enough to base judgment on decadent gradualism. Today's plans must be based on the fact that the future growth of air traffic will be phenomenal.

The accommodation of present demands with sufficient facilities to service anticipated growth is the backbone of this thesis.

The study of astronomy will gain added interest from the public as man develops his ability to travel in space. A knowledge of astronomy will become essential to follow the routes taken by space travelers. Man, being a curious creature, will also desire knowledge of what has …

A Convent For Santa Fe, Larry Titman

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Many people are under the impression that only the Roman Catholic Church has religious orders for men and women. Such is not the case. The Anglican or Episcopal Church has had religious orders for over a hundred years. They are constantly growing in numbers and this, of course, necessitates the building of more convents and monasteries. It is my desire to design a convent for Santa Fe, New Mexico for the nuns known as the Poor Clares. I chose Santa Fe because i want this to be a problem in regionalism. I chose the Poor Clares because they are a …
