Without Words, Adrienne Lichliter
All Theses
My work seeks to question culture's occupation with the direct and conclusive, stirring the viewer away from immediate understanding in order to better grasp the pervasive vitality of the obscure. The thesis outlines the presence of the unclear in our lives and our lack of consideration of its importance due to an occupation with productivity. This argument is made with a body of non-objective artwork that presents visual and spatial ambiguities. By occupying paradoxes and indeterminate focal points, the art resists recognition and conclusion both formally and intellectually. The paper also discusses the importance of printmaking and restraint, requiring one …
Classification Of Biological Phenomena To Aid In Search And Retrieval For Biomimicry, Kevin Murray
Classification Of Biological Phenomena To Aid In Search And Retrieval For Biomimicry, Kevin Murray
All Theses
Biomimetic design offers an avenue for designers to expand the solution realm by offering surface dissimilar analogies. However, a significant challenge within biomimetic design has been offering a suitable method for discovery and retrieval of inspiring biological phenomena to aid in conceptual design. This research proposes an approach for classifying both biological systems and engineering products into the type of problem being addressed. This allows designers to search for inspirational phenomena based on the type of problem that they are trying to solve. Initially this classification is performed with product-phenomenon pairings that have already been attributed to biomimetic design from …
Design And Implementation Of A Genre Hybrid Video Game That Integrates The Curriculum Of An Introductory Programming Course, Cory Buckley
Design And Implementation Of A Genre Hybrid Video Game That Integrates The Curriculum Of An Introductory Programming Course, Cory Buckley
All Theses
Video games have a history of being exploited for education. However, all too fre- quently, the resulting educational video game is either transparent in its hijacking of video game media, or the educational content is not intelligently placed within the context of the game. In this paper we analyze existing educational video games and observe popular commercial video game mechanics to form a more player oriented development mindset. Our approach involves mingling game mechanics that are not commonly used together to create a genre hybrid educational video game with a seamlessly integrated introductory programming curriculum. We use a machine architecture …
Breathing Life Into The Cemetery: Creating A New Typology For American Cemeteries, Elise Herron
Breathing Life Into The Cemetery: Creating A New Typology For American Cemeteries, Elise Herron
All Theses
This study is an investigation into the history of the American cemetery landscape, primarily focusing on the rural garden cemetery and the memorial park typologies. The purpose is to gain a better understanding of the components and design intent of each. From this study a new typology of cemetery emerges, focused on multi-functionality, memorialization, as well as both civic and environmental interactions.
Game Asset Development Pipeline With A Focus On Facial Rigging And Animation, Boqian Liu
Game Asset Development Pipeline With A Focus On Facial Rigging And Animation, Boqian Liu
All Theses
Though slowly improving, the majority of modern real-time productions--chiefly consisting of video games--tend to be lacking detail and flexibility in facial animation. A new facial rig is devised by investigating both the game asset development pipeline as well as current facial setup and animation schemes. The resultant rig hybridizes several of these solutions and not only attempts to address the issue of detail in facial animation but also usability and efficiency in its controller setup.
A Design Framework For Sustainable Infrastructure, Jacqualyn Blizzard
A Design Framework For Sustainable Infrastructure, Jacqualyn Blizzard
All Theses
Aristotle theorized, 'The whole is more than the sum of its parts.' Design engineers often overlook this simple philosophy. We employ a reductionist approach when designing the built environment: engineering solutions for the individual parts rather than the system as a whole, creating and exacerbating problems in the process. A whole system, interdisciplinary approach that considers the interrelatedness of global issues is increasingly recognized as essential to finding truly sustainable engineering solutions (NSB, 2007). However, both the precise nature of this whole systems approach, and the best ways to incorporate it in engineering education remain undefined. To address this gap …
Design Tool Development For Cellular Structure Synthesis To Achieve Desired Properties, Luke Berglind
Design Tool Development For Cellular Structure Synthesis To Achieve Desired Properties, Luke Berglind
All Theses
The effective properties of cellular materials are dependent both on the fixed material properties of the constituent material and the geometry of the cellular structure. As a result, the effective properties can be altered through geometric modifications without changes to the constituent material. Cellular materials present new opportunities in mechanical design due to the ability to produce new materials with customized properties which can improve the performance of existing designs. However, the task of designing the geometry to achieve desired properties presents additional challenges to the design process.
To increase the viability of customizable cellular materials in new product design, …
Visual Concepts, Through Painting, Of Space/Earth Forms In Transition, Jeanet Steckler Dreskin
Visual Concepts, Through Painting, Of Space/Earth Forms In Transition, Jeanet Steckler Dreskin
All Theses
Twenty-four works of art were exhibited at The Rudolph E. Lee Gallery, College of Architecture, Clemson University, from April 12, 1973, through May 11,1973, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. This exhibition represented work produced during thesis study. The paintings presented reflect an interlocking of conceptual ideas and perceptual insight into a personal Visual Arts form. The imagery created expresses visual statements of space /earth forms in transition. In order to communicate such visual concepts, polymer and water color were selected as media. These water soluble paints have the versatility and inherent …
