This thesis deals with landscape architectural site-planning considerations of on-site alternative energy and material resources. On-site resources are those occurring on nearly every site. In, particular, the energies are solar, wind, water, and organic-waste; the materials are rock and earth. The thesis content includes basic information and guidelines necessary for making preliminary design decisions regarding these alternatives. Emphasis has been placed on analyzing site conditions, on measuring the available resource, on estimating the usable energy resource available, on storing the energy and on the use of the resource.In addition, there is a case study demonstrating the use of the information in the site-design process for a wind machine. The Appendix lists names and addresses of manufacturers concerned with alternative energy resources as well as containing examples of some of the literature for the wind energy industry. / Department of Landscape Architecture

This thesis identifies those elements significant to the redevelopment of urban riverfronts. Its purpose is to determine those planning and design considerations which will protect and enhance river environments while increasing the opportunities for people to enjoy a physical and visual contact with the river. This is accomplished by presenting an overview of urban riverfronts, their development and problems, rivers and their environment, historical progression of settlements along rivers, and planning and design considerations for urban riverfronts.In addition, this thesis presents a case study which applies urban riverfront planning and design considerations to the Vincennes, Indiana-Wabash Riverfront. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Desde a segunda metade do século XX até os dias atuais, diversos teóricos de arquitetura e urbanismo versam sobre a análise de projetos e obras. Entretanto, alguns autores vão além, propondo modelos de análise de projetos e obras de arquitetura: Roger Clark e Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker e Simon Unwin se destacam pela proposição de modelos de análise de arquitetura amplamente fundamentados e desenvolvidos. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi a caracterização, a classificação e a comparação dos modelos e métodos de análise de projetos propostos por Roger Clark e Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker e Simon Unwin. O primeiro passo da pesquisa consistiu o levantamento e a leitura de obras sobre procedimentos de análise, metodologias e modelos de análise em arquitetura, processo de projeto e teoria da arquitetura. A etapa em questão teve como foco o entendimento do exercício da análise e dos modelos de análise de Roger Clark e Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker e Simon Unwin. Na segunda etapa da pesquisa, foi estruturado um procedimento de comparação dos quatro modelos estudados. Para isso, a etapa em questão abrangeu a classificação e a caracterização dos modelos de análise conforme seus critérios de construção e seu caráter processual e a construção do procedimento de comparação de modelos de análise a partir da elaboração de um fluxograma de ações. Por fim, na terceira etapa da pesquisa foram selecionadas quatro obras de arquitetura presentes em estudos de caso realizados por Clark/ Pause, Ching, Baker e Unwin, as quais foram submetidas ao procedimento de comparação de modo que a pesquisa pudesse revelar, como resultados, a caracterização dos quatro modelos estudados enquanto meios de ampliação do olhar sobre a arquitetura e a verificação da viabilidade do procedimento proposto enquanto ferramenta de comparação e avaliação / Abstract: This research investigates the structure and the characteristics of analysis in architecture ¿ the concepts and definitions about the analysis in architecture as a process and the presence of the method while systematizer and organizer. Since the second half of the twentieth century to the present day, many theorists of architecture and urbanism deal with the analysis of projects and works. However, some authors go further by proposing models for the analysis of projects and works of architecture: Roger Clark and Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker and Simon Unwin stand out because of the proposition of widely founded and developed architecture analysis models. Therefore, the aim of this work was the characterization, classification and comparison of the design analysis models and methods proposed by Roger Clark and Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker and Simon Unwin. The first step of the research was a survey and reading of works about analysis procedures, architectural analysis methodologies and models, design process and theory of architecture. This step had great focus on understanding the analysis exercise and the analysis models of Roger Clark and Michael Pause, Francis Ching, Geoffrey Baker and Simon Unwin. In the research¿s second stage, a comparison procedure to the four models was structured. Thereunto, this stage covered the classification and characterization of the analysis models as their construction criteria and their procedural character and the construction of an analysis models comparison procedure from the preparation of a flowchart of actions. Lastly, in the third stage of the rsearch four works of architecture present in case studies realized by Clark / Pause, Ching, Baker and Unwin have been selected, which were submitted to the comparison procedure so that the research could reveal, as results, the characterization of the four studied models as a means of broadening the perspective on architecture and the verification on the viability of the proposed procedure as a comparison and evaluation tool / Mestrado / Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade / Mestra em Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade

Work is presented to show one architect's findings, relating process rather than a single project. The book itself is conceived as the final product. Included are pages from the architect's notebook; axonometric studies and perspective sketches; and diagrams of the work. The idea for a chapel is presented; the chapel may be explained, but is not yet defined. Short projects, each contributing to the architect's understanding of his world, follow. / Master of Architecture

the vision the vision is composed broken glass shiny sharp edges of light beckon the captured bird come into the world you wish to create the stuff of strange silent dreams the waters of the fountain long corridors small rooms the big room dance the presence of the sacred see disunity seen the sparkling colors shining beckoning the worlds of imagination and possibility of confusion and chaos fractured to bits the mind and the hand destroy the whole in order to see destroy the whole and leave only the pieces to be seen what is irreducible the element constructs that which is intuited the vision choreographs the dance with a more limited palette / Master of Architecture

"When we go wandering....it is ourselves we desire to have translated into stones and plants, and it is in ourselves that we wish to walk." -Nietzche What happens when a building speaks to you? The structure makes a simple statement. That statement is reinforced by the light, the space, and the primary materials and how they are connected to the secondary materials and the tertiary materials. Attention is given to the scale of a large group of people, as well as to the scale of a man and to the size of his hand. Unlike the familiar image of a machine, architecture retains the complexities of life and is founded on them. It develops in a variety of episodes, situations, and possible conditions. The relative juxtaposition of structured elements (walls, surfaces, structures, windows) conveys a sense of the whole. It is harmonious because it is related to a purpose. It is beautiful because it is a poetic manifestation of life. Thus, a building is a reasoned fragment, the sign of a presence. Its aesthetic is a condition discovered, not a starting point. / Master of Architecture
