The Malay house : rationale and changeWan Abidin, Wan Burhanuddin B January 1981 (has links)
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Bibliography: leaves 110-113. / The Malay house is defined and described in the Malaysian context . Underlying principles or rules that make up the· house are derived from the analysis of its physical, spatial and functional elements and the variations that these elements exhibit. Tho rules are tested in the reconstruction of the Malay house. Changes based on hypothetical cases are then introduced to find out how the house would transform under these new sets of requirements. It is found that it is possible for a person, having not seen a Malay house prior to this, to reconstruct one based on the rules stated in this work. It is also found that new systems have to be added to the existing systems in the Malay house to meet the requirements for change. The addition of new systems however, do not mean the destruction of the tradition. It is hoped that this prototype would be the basis for further research in the Malay house. / by Wan Burhanuddin B.

Designing adaptable housing : the specific case of INFONAVITMartin, Andrea M January 1981 (has links)
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 101). / The traditional way of designing housing of the Mexican government agencies, obliges the population they serve (mostly working class people), to live in rigid dwellings that have little or no flexibility to be adapted to the dweller's changing needs throughout time, or to the technological and economic improvements. The increasing participation of the Government agencies in the production of housing in Mexico, a nd the critical housing shortage, makes urgent a restatement of the design guide lines that have been used up to now. The purpose of this thesis is to emphasize the need of adaptable housing and to suggest some changes to the standards traditionally used by public developers in order to make their housing design more adaptable. Taking as a case study the main public housing agency in Mexico ( INFONAVIT) , first I made a survey in one of the oldest and biggest housing complexes of INFONAVIT (el Rosario), in order to clarify certain issues about the use of spaces and the kind of needs that make dwellers modify their dwellings. Afterwards, I analyzed these changes to find out patterns of modification, looking for the changes that are most likely to occur and in what ways these changes can be facilitated. In the final part of the thesis, I make some suggestions of alterations that could be done to the standards of design in order to produce more adaptable housing. / by Andrea M. Martin. / M.S.

Elements for adaptation and change-design for creative conflictEngel, Jürgen J. K January 1982 (has links)
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 140-143). / The starting point of this thesis is a strong critique of the conventional design of housing. The thesis suggests a new approach to the perception of environments and the act of "dwelling." Inhabitants are not assumed to act as passive consumers of "set facts" or of a "potential variety," but as instigators in the design of their living environments. Through conflict, inherent or built into the design, people are stimulated to appropriate their surroundings according to their needs. Environments have to be designed such that they can be interpreted and contain the "clues" (the elements for adaptation and change) for people to intervene. Inhabitants control the design by means of social interaction as well as physical intervention. Four theoretical concepts are discussed which shall assist designers in understanding environments more completely in terms of potential use and sympatric relations, and in finding new innovative solutions in design. The concepts deal with (1) the complexity of environments, (2) the importance of community, (3) privacy and territoriality, and (4) form. Two case studies are presented as evidence to document the importance of the theoretical concepts by means of a detailed analysis of the selected environments, and to demonstrate how two very different participatory processes are translated into the "sympatric" design of physical environments. / by Jürgen J.K.

The Origin of the Renaissance Palace: Domestic Architecture during the Florentine Oligarchy, 1378-1432.Vigotti, Lorenzo January 2019 (has links)
This dissertation investigates the origin of the architectural typology of the Renaissance palace as it emerged in Florence between the end of the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth centuries. This was a period characterized by a dramatic shift in domestic architecture, mirroring a parallel transformation of the Florentine society under the political regime of the Albizi oligarchy. This study fills a clear gap in existing scholarship, comprehensively addressing the private palatial architecture built in Florence in the sixty years before the construction of Palazzo Medici in 1446.
Three palaces and their family archives have been studied for the first time: Palazzo Alessandri (built in the 1370s), Palazzo da Uzzano-Capponi (built circa 1411), and Palazzo Busini-Bardi (built before 1425). Their patrons, all pairs of brothers, used the size and urban prominence of their new residences to assess their political and social dominance on the city. They eliminated all commercial functions from their palaces and organized the space around a central courtyard with loggias, with a multiplication of dedicated rooms for the different public and private functions of the household.
These palaces are representative of a period of transition in domestic architecture that inaugurated a new, successful domestic typology that was subjected to little change in—at least—the following three centuries. Built in a period of rising individuality, these private buildings, together with the ones that followed, helped set the modern concepts of the apartment and family privacy.
