City extensions : the revitalization of Denver Colorado's Platte River ValleySobey, James A January 1982 (has links)
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 71-73). / This thesis examines a process for future city growth in Denver, Colorado. Its objective is to develop a model by which future expansion of the city might build qualities of continuity and identity between adjacent sections of the city and the Platte River through the revitalization and extension of network edges. Present growth trends in Denver have altered traditional city network relationships. The exchange between movement systems, building forms and landscape has deteriorated resulting in the isolation of the pedestrian edges which once made Denver a city of vitality. This thesis begins with observations of a specific problem of discontinuity within Denver's Platte River Valley. It then outlines goals for future growth. The third section defines the task of seaming together valley districts. The fourth section documents a method for analysis and extension. The last section includes strategies and design projections to illustrate how districts of the city might grow, with examples of extensions from a regional size, to examinations in more detail of landscape network and building relationships. / by James A.

Extending the grid : a formal exploration for expanding a small Colorado townCooper, David George January 1980 (has links)
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1980. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-103). / This thesis is an examination of the morphological aspects of future growth in Telluride, Colorado, a 19th - century mining town in the Rocky Mountains. Its aim is to demonstrate that further expansion of this grid settlement can occur in a manner that establishes a morphological continuity with the existing context. The first three sections document a method of observation and analysis of the town's past patterns of growth and existing morphology. This method relies in part on firsthand observation and the study of available documentation of the town. The final section contains the design projections -- my recommendation about how the town could expand. These are presented as a site plan that illustrates the physical form of expansion, and supporting diagrams and design studies. / by David G. Cooper. / M.Arch.
