Demystifying Social Science Research: A Handbook For Environmental Designers, Min Kantrowitz

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The basic concept underlying this thesis is that architects and planners can and should utilize social science research in design. The fields of environmental design and behavioral research share interest in human behavior and the context in which it occurs. Knwoledge relating to the interaction between environment and behavior should be mutually comprehensible.

This thesis approaches this problem by developing a useful handbook for environmental designers which will enable them to read and understand research which is relevant to the design projects with which they may be involved. The thesis consists of several sections, with the actual handbook constituting the …

The Uses Of Completed Landfills, Jo Anne H. Aplet, W. David Conn

City and Regional Planning

Completed landfills can provide the base for parks and other beneficial land uses, thus serving to recycle waste products into new forms. However, the conversion is not trouble-free. This paper examines some of the uses to which completed landfills have been put as well as the problems which have been encountered to date, and suggests actions which planners and solid waste managers can take to mitigate some of these problems in the future. Information is based largely on experiences in Los Angeles County, California, where landfilling has been both practised and studied over an extended period.

The Dynamics Of Micro-Location: The Potentials Of Airspace In Urban Design, Ira A. Chilton

Architecture Master Theses

This thesis is an investigation into the analeptic potentials of airspace utilization in urban areas. The study emphasizes airspace utilization as a dynamic locational catalyst for urban revitalization, and has two fundamental purposes. The first is to attempt to clarify the relevance of using airspace as a tool for pursuing efficient and effective use of the limited and valuable supply of central city land. And the second is to pursue a catalytic process for obtaining socioeconomic goals through the multiple use of transportation rights-of-way. In the final phase, these concepts will be briefly elaborated in a case study applied to …

An Approach To Participation In Housing, Georg Wolfgang Reinberg

Architecture Master Theses

In our increasingly complex society a growing centralism tends to bring more and more decisions out of the control of the user. This is too often not to the advantage of the citizens whose desires are bypassed. This results in breakdowns in the processing involved in planning and an increasing demand for participatory democracy.

In this thesis a design process for housing is proposed which allows the users to participate and to deal with the existing power structure, in so far as it puts constraints on their homes. this design process is then translated into a game which could serve …

Approaches To Albuquerque's Frankitecture: A Mass Architecture For Seminars On The Urban Environment, John D. Smith

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Frankitecture is an architecture of franchised retail outlets for hamburgers, doughnuts, gasoline, and so on, in an automobile­oriented environment. Separately owned buildings have an identical and profitable image. Frankitecture structures ordinary strip elements, but has come to dominate the strip economically and architecturally. It affects the way we perceive architecture in automobile-oriented cities such as Albuquerque. Since frankitecture has implications for the design, construction, use, reuse, and abandonment of buildings, it is of interest to students of the city. It is noteworthy for its accessibility in cities such as Albuquerque, and students as well as other citizens have a wealth …

The Development Of Graphic Tools For The Calculation Of Solar Radiation, Edward Mazria

Architecture and Planning ETDs

World-wide dwindling energy resources have provided the incentive to use solar energy systems to supply a major portion of a building’s heating requirements. In order to understand and be responsive to the effects of the sun on the location and design of solar systems, it is necessary to know at any moment the sun's position in the sky and energy intensity on a given surface. The Cylindrical sun chart, developed in this thesis, provides a simple and convenient way to accurately predict the sun's movement across the sky from any point in the continental United States. By plotting obstructions directly …
