A Comparison Of Perceptions Among Amateur And Pga Professional Golfer To The Five Design Principles Of Golf Course Architecture, Ryan Woodard Johnson
A Comparison Of Perceptions Among Amateur And Pga Professional Golfer To The Five Design Principles Of Golf Course Architecture, Ryan Woodard Johnson
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Golf was originally a game played primarily on landscapes that were not manipulated by humans. As the game has matured, humans have exerted increasing influence on the design of golf courses. As in art, golf course architecture has developed its own set of principles and its own set of elements. The elements are the tools the artist uses to create the painting, while the principles guide how he/she implements these elements (Lovett 1999). In the case of golf course architects, the land is the canvas while the greens, tees, fairways, roughs, hazards, and contours are examples of the elements used …
Stakeholders' Perceptions Of Pedestrian Accessibility To Green Infrastructure: Fort Worth's Urban Villages, Petrine M. Abrahams
Stakeholders' Perceptions Of Pedestrian Accessibility To Green Infrastructure: Fort Worth's Urban Villages, Petrine M. Abrahams
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Green infrastructure refers to a strategically managed network of natural and open spaces that provides ecological benefits for human and wildlife populations in urbanized areas (Benedict and McMahon, 2006; Sandstrom, 2002; Weber, Sloan, and Wolf, 2005). Recent studies demonstrate a relationship between green infrastructure, and human and ecological health in urbanized areas (Tzoulas et al. 2007; Wilson, 1986; Louv, 2008). By strategically increasing density and a mix of uses in existing, sparsely populated urban areas, the "urban village" model developed by the City of Fort Worth presents the opportunity to incorporate accessible green infrastructure in an urban environment in order …

Assessing Stormwater Runoff With "Swat" In Mixed-Use Developments: Learning From Southlake Town Square And Addison Circle In North Texas, Brian S. Parker
Assessing Stormwater Runoff With "Swat" In Mixed-Use Developments: Learning From Southlake Town Square And Addison Circle In North Texas, Brian S. Parker
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Recognizing environmental problems associated with sprawl, North Texas communities are looking at options for future growth. Higher density mixed-used developments (MXDs) are being considered as an alternative to the continuation of current trends and adopted plans, yet little is known how they impact the region environmentally (Vision North Texas, 2008). More specifically, it is not clear how these developments perform in regard to stormwater runoff and water pollution. This research evaluates the stormwater runoff and water pollution of two mixed-use developments (MXDs) in order to understand their environmental role in the future of North Texas. The research question in this …
Anti-Terrorism Site Design Guidelines For U.S. Military Installations: An Evaluation Of The Implementation Process At U.S. Army Forts In Texas And Louisiana, Joey B. Ball
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
is of vital importance to accommodate the need for security in site plans and designs on all military installations. Terrorism prevention, referred to as force protection by the United States Department of Defense, is accomplished through a combination of landscape and facility design standards. To minimize the likelihood of mass casualties from terrorist attacks against military personnel in the facilities in which they work and live, the Department of Defense has established design standards that shape the site design process. (Unified Facilities Criteria) 4-010-01)This research examines each stage of the implementation process of anti-terrorism site design guidelines for possible weaknesses …

Suburban Landmarks In North Arlington: Perceptions Of Experts And Non-Experts, Su-Yu Cheng
Suburban Landmarks In North Arlington: Perceptions Of Experts And Non-Experts, Su-Yu Cheng
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Each individual perceives the world differently and attains knowledge in distinct ways (Rapoport 1977). With regard to perception about specific places, some individuals function as "insiders." This means their perceptions are engaged with place through daily experiences familiarizing them with the landscape. Others function as "outsiders," ¬¬unconcerned with or unaware of landscape events, thereby perceiving only the surfaces meaning of such events (Dearden 1984, Craik 1970, Bourassa 1991). One example of this dichotomy between insiders and outsiders can be found among design experts and non-experts. Design experts, such as landscape architects, architects, and planners, are directly involved with landscape aesthetics …
Multi-National Licensure In Landscape Architecture: Searching For Its Impact On The Profession, Madhavi B. Sonar
Multi-National Licensure In Landscape Architecture: Searching For Its Impact On The Profession, Madhavi B. Sonar
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This thesis summarizes the knowledge base and understanding of key informants regarding multi-national licensure in landscape architecture, a topic made timely because of the increase in international practice by landscape architects, and differences in the profession's standards and regulations globally. It also examines the potential impacts of multi-national licensure on the profession.To accomplish this, the thesis examines licensure practices in both landscape architecture and architecture (which is more familiar with issues of international practice,) and it focuses on implications of the issues on professional practice and academic practice in landscape architecture. This research is based on the hypothesis that the …

Designers' Perspectives Of Walkability And Accessibility Of Dart's Downtown Transitway Mall In Dallas, Texas, Vaidehi Niteen Gupte
Designers' Perspectives Of Walkability And Accessibility Of Dart's Downtown Transitway Mall In Dallas, Texas, Vaidehi Niteen Gupte
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Providing quality urban spaces including plazas and pedestrian malls encourages use of the Central Business District (CBD) and stimulates a vibrant atmosphere for casual strolling, window shopping, and browsing (Rubenstein, 1992). Dallas, Texas, which in many people's minds defines the term `automobile city', has developed and implemented a visionary plan since the early 1990s' for using light rail as a tool for economic growth and community development. Thus, Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART's) starter system of light rail opened in June 1996, and a city that grew up with the automobile embraced transit as an integral part of its future …
North Texas Stakeholders: Perceptions Of Extensive Green Roofs, Matthew Heath House
North Texas Stakeholders: Perceptions Of Extensive Green Roofs, Matthew Heath House
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Green roofs are not a new technology. The first recorded green roof was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon built by King Nebuchadnezzar for his wife Amyitis who missed her lush homeland (Osmundson 1999). However, since the late 1990s, the term green roof has taken on ecological and social significance beyond its seemingly simplistic description. The term has become an epithet for the reduction of pollution and urban heat islands, for large scale mitigation of storm water run-off, and for maximum utilization of urban land (Cantor 2008). This research examines perceptions about extensive green roofs held by developers, city officials, architects, …
