Graduate student housing for VPI & SU: a design proposal

Maser, Bruce A. January 1982 (has links)
Successful architecture responds to user function on one level and its environment on another. A design for graduate student housing that operates on both levels is shown. The potential of curved building masses is explored. The structure for housing is the structure for parking, and the whole complex defines and separates vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Existing features of the site are employed and enhanced to create a tie between the old and new. The spaces are as important as the space makers. / Master of Architecture

Riverfront project

Paszek, Mark R. January 1982 (has links)
The natures of reason and architecture are things man has struggled with since the beginning. As reason evolves and gets more complex, human needs and values change. Interaction among ourselves and surroundings has become a need. Architecture balances this need creating a unifying spirit. This thesis is a collection of work resulting from a struggle that lead to an understanding and appreciation of architecture. / Master of Architecture

Of the head and of the heart

Skreba, Leonard T. January 1981 (has links)
The work of an architect (his architecture) is a result of inspiration derived from his head and his heart. If his work is to be original, timeless, and improving, neither his head nor his heart must be fettered or coerced by any form of tyranny. The breaking of such bondage is necessary any time it is found to exist. It is with this spirit that design projects were approached and the architecture synthesized. Each project presented in this thesis, be it the house which is a celebration to man and to the sun, be it the satire with all its possible applications, be it one of several form projects, or be it the International House of Students designed to accommodate two hundred and fifty (250) students of multinational origin, reflect the dialogue between the architect's head and his heart. Collectively the projects represent a continuum of this dialogue. Only time can be the judge of the strength of an architect's head and of the purity of his heart. / Master of Architecture

"A walk through the woods"

Harper, Scott Henry January 1983 (has links)
A wooded 7.8 acre parcel located in Northern Virginia near the Potomac River is bordered by a National Wildlife Refuge and provides a setting for ''A Walk through the Woods", a place for a single family to live. As one enters the site, travels along the entrance road and moves through the house, stimulating and dynamic visual experi~ ences occur. Physically, the residence is a linear horizontal structure with a natural stepping of rooms in plan and elevation. Characteristic of the residence are extroverted experiences, contrasts between openness and closure, transitions from outside to inside, rooms well-lighted by daylight and rhythmic experiences as one travels from / common areas to personal areas along a path not unlike a path through the forest. The site, of rolling terrain bisected by small streams, encompasses a knoll from which the house evolved. The structure is compatible with nature on the outside and incorporates nature on the inside. At times the house and its surroundings almost become one. / Master of Architecture

Blacksburg redevelopment

McNevin, Peter W. January 1982 (has links)
Using the vehicle of redeveloping downtown Blacksburg, an architectural problem concerning planning, structure, housing and landscaping, this thesis considers the implications of each component and how they interrelate, to produce a built form in harmony with its surroundings. / Master of Architecture

Professional projects

Hollander, Henry Richard January 1991 (has links)
The Washington Alexandria Center for Architecture exists as a bridge between the abstract and real world. My continued studies at the center have afforded me the opportunity to participate in a number of real projects. These projects have been invaluable in the journey toward becoming an architect. / Master of Architecture

Lines

Merryfield, William R. January 1990 (has links)
The thesis contains a series of ideas & conclusions: The introductory statement suggests four criteria for the pursuit of producing good architecture. These criteria are not in the realm of problem solving. But rather address issues of the heart & mind. It is through a struggle with these measures that architecture becomes true and encompasses a realization larger than the problems at hand. It is only then that architecture exists in a continuum across time. The projects in this book make a meager attempt to begin to understand a pedagogy for spirit. responsibility. making & judgement. / Master of Architecture

Transformation: a change of order and the growth of form

McCall, Ronald Gene January 1991 (has links)
Through an analogical process, this thesis explores the concept of transformation as it affords opportunities for order and structure in architecture. Beginning with the square as the seed from which the projects develop, orthogonal grids are employed as a means for developing ordering geometries as form-giving structures. A historical reference, deriving structure and form from a square grid instantiates development of the theme. Having examined some conditions of transformation in architecture, the work turns to a consideration of some personal explorations of transformation that may be of use in future architectural undertakings. The consequent forms are not intended to justify the particular transformational grammars; rather they are to be taken as models for future development. / Master of Architecture
