Theses and Dissertations

Meqenëse vilat kanë për qëllim të sjellin qetësi, pushim dhe komoditet, atëherë atyre duhet të ju kushtohet rëndësi e posaqme, në trajtimin e tyre, të formës, madhësisë dhe funksioneve të integruara në të.

Rizbulimi I Lagjeve Periferike Në Kosovë, Eduarsa Haziraj

Theses and Dissertations

Qysh me fillimin e njërzimit shtëpia ishte një nevojë esenciale. Edhe pse dallon mënyra dhe kultura e jetesës ndër shekuj, që nga koha kur njeriu jetonte në shpella e deri tek smart home, koncpeti thelbesor i shtepisë si “çati per strehim në sherbim të njërzve” mbetet akoma i njejtë edhe në ditët e sotit. Mënyra se si ka evoluar mënyra e jetesës dhe ndëtimit të shtepive gjatë historisë së njerzimit akoma mbetet sfiduese për shkak të kërkësave të reja dhe të vazhdueshme, zhvillimit të teknologjisë, zbulimit të materialeve të reja innovative dhe tendecës që të mbetemi në hap me kohën. …

Design Philosophy

You were designed to discover. If you never push your boundaries you will never learn to grow. Those that live in comfort are afraid to ever glow. Have faith in yourself and always know, “That faith, as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain.” So where will your journey go?

Olivia Bufalini Senior Interior Design Exhibit 2018, Olivia Bufalini

Interior Design Senior Projects

My Design Philosophy:

My philosophy in Interior Design is inspired by my experiences in travel and my hard-working nature. Nothing worthwhile in life can be achieved without persistence, hardwork, love, and passion. Opportunities to travel abroad in Japan and Europe have encouraged my wonder and awe in different cultures and their designs, influencing the way I look at space and form.

I also believe that for an interior designer to be successful, a designer must understand and form a bond of trust between themselves and their clients in order to create a functional, beautiful, and unique space that interprets their …

Design Philosophy:

Interior design is more than just designing spaces that are going to be aesthetically pleasing. Interior design is about creating spaces that will work for everyone yet be unique and beautiful. It is about making an impact on people’s lives, whether it is for a few hours a day or for many years to come. It's gathering ideas and innovations to design a space to fit the purpose it's being designed for. It's critical thinking on how spaces will work for individuals, not only physically but also psychologically. Interior Designers know each interior space has a purpose and …

Moraga Commons Skatepark - Phase 2: Enhancing The Experience, Jeffrey Phunmongkol

Construction Management

Moraga Commons Skatepark is located in the East Bay Area, of Northern California. An affluent small town, the skatepark serves as a great outdoor space where kids can exercise and enjoy. Originally built in 2003, Moraga Skatepark has been my second home ever since I started skateboarding. Myself, along with others, have noticed specific aspects of the skatepark that are poorly designed. In addition, the park has experienced general wear and depreciation from years of use. I wanted to create a potential improvement plan that would include slight skatepark design changes and ultimately addition of park amenities to improve the …

Performance Control Of A Spray Passive Down-Draft Evaporative Cooling System, Daeho Kang, Richard K. Strand

Publications and Research

A spray passive down-draft evaporative cooling system has been regarded as a low-energy cooling system that leads significant energy savings in the cooling of buildings. While the energy saving capability of the system has been proven, the ability to control a comfortable indoor environment is still inadequate due to strong climatic dependency. This study seeks viable solutions to advance the control competence of the system by mitigating critical problems of the system to be a reliable cooling application in the cooling of buildings. It proposes potential control strategies for the system and alternative operations. It develops a control algorithm for …

Places Of Faith: Architectures For Hospitality In The Italian Sanctuaries In The Early Modern Age, Silvia Beltramo

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The strong affluence of pilgrims in monasteries and sanctuaries since the Middle Era, determined a veritable culture of hospitality, which was manifested by the building of new spaces dedicated to guest quarters. This research investigates in detail some meaningful examples amongst the main Italian sanctuaries - namely: Vicoforte and Oropa (Piedmont), Tirano (Lombardy) and Loreto (Marche) - looking at the solutions adopted to host the wayfarers: the hospitality spaces which characterised architecture dedicated to pilgrims between the Middle and the Early Modern Ages. Throughout this period of time, the continuous increase in pilgrimages implied new definitions of the space within …

Unreliable Guides: Introducing, Mapping And Performing Interiors, Edward Hollis

Interiority

Whether as teachers listening to students, as designers ‘pitching’ designs to clients, or critics writing about historical spaces, we use speech and gesture to describe interiors. We assume that the interior does not speak on it’s own, but must be spoken for. How do designers, curators, and guides talk interiors into existence? How, more generally should we speak of the interior? This paper will explore this issue through reflection on three encounters between space, speech and gesture in the form of guided tours of historic interiors. It will frame these questions with four contexts: firstly, the evolution of the historical …

Quasi-Materials And The Making Of Interior Atmospheres, John Stanislav Sadar

Interiority

In The Architecture of the Well-Tempered Environment, Reyner Banham presents a parable in which, having come across an amount of wood, a nomadic tribe must decide how to use it to keep warm overnight: build a structure or build a fire (and burn the wood as fuel). The first of these uses the materials directly to create an amenable interior condition using the tangible materiality of geometric construction. The second, however, generates heat from combustion, thereby creating an intangible, graduated, thermal interiority, which one can draw deeper into, by moving closer to the fire, or recede from, by moving away. …

Tracing The Progression Of Inhabitation Through Interior Surface In Semarang Old Town, Aa Ayu Suci Warakanyaka, Yandi Andri Yatmo

Interiority

The capacity of the interior to adapt and transform through time has made the interior space bears the consequences from its past occupancies. The trails of the past are imprinted within the layers of interior surfaces. This paper argues that by utilising the idea of Anthropocene, these surfaces could become the medium to trace the inhabitation processes that happen throughout the life of the building, whether it was in the past, in the present or to predict the future. In particular, this paper attempts to explore and speculate on the progression of inhabitations through the interior surfaces of the buildings …

Interiority And The Conditions Of Interior, Mark Pimlott

Interiority

Interiority pertains to the individual’s inner life, rich and set in opposition to the pressures of the world. This interiority has been allied with notions of the exclusive space or refuge of the interior. As a realm of privacy and subjectivity, of projections and receptions, the interior has come to be considered as a realm that, although profoundly affected by infiltrations of the world without, is ‘responsive’ to the individual at its centre. As such, it is a realm of illusions. However, there is another order of interior, a condition of interior, wherein spaces, settlements and territories are ideological realms …

Urban Interiority And The Spatial Processes Of Securitisation In Medellin: A Speculation On The Architectures Of Reassurance, Christina Deluchi

Interiority

Medellín, Colombia, a city best known for its violent history and subsequent radical transformation, hosts multiple political forces of varying degrees of legitimacy. In this context, architecture was mobilised as a physical weapon in the city’s urban regions. As an extension of this architectural condition, the city’s landscape has repeatedly been appropriated and repurposed to enforce state and criminal agency. Medellín’s cultural geography became increasingly unstable as both real and imagined threats lingered in the spaces of every day – apartment towers, gated communities, supermarkets, TV and radio, imbued with violent operational spatial logics.

In detecting processes of regulation, protection, …
