Arles, colonie de droit romain, hérite, après la défaite de Pompée contre César, du contrôle d’une partie du Rhône, importante voie d’acheminement des marchandises provenant de tout le pourtour méditerranéen. Actrice privilégiée d’un commerce qui s’amplifie, accueillant de nombreux naviculaires pour le gérer et des populations indigènes toujours plus nombreuses, la cité d’Arles a également montré au travers de ses édifices la présence de marbres colorés dans la décoration pariétale et dans les pavements. Ce type de matière première était un symbole de puissance et de richesse et, à ce titre, diffusé dans toutes les provinces de l’empire. Dans ce cadre-là, nous étudions l’utilisation et l’approvisionnement de ces marbres dans la cité d’Arles au travers de l’étude de sites archéologiques terrestres et d’éléments retrouvés dans le Rhône. Pour cela, nous étudierons chaque fragment en marbre coloré retrouvé dans des contextes du Haut-Empire et de l’Antiquité tardive. Nous déterminerons pour chaque site étudié la répartition et la proportion de chacun ainsi que les formes dans lesquelles ils ont été façonnés. Nous analyserons ensuite chronologiquement l’emploi de ces éléments dans la décoration de domus et d’édifices à caractère public. Enfin, nous ferons le lien avec l’acheminement de ces marchandises dans la vallée du Rhône à l’époque romaine. / Arles, roman right colony, inherited the control of the river the Rhône, after Pompei’s defeat against Cesar, important delivery route of any kind of supply coming from the Mediterranean area. Trading business increasing Arles welcomed a lot of navicularii to manage it. And also the growing native population helped Arles to become a privilege actor. Through the monument the great city of Arles showed coloured marbles on the wall and pavement. This type of raw material was a symbol of power and wealth which was diffused in every province of the empire. In this context, we will study the use and the supply of the marble in Arles through terrestrial archaeological sites and elements discovered in the river Rhone.Concerning this, we will study every pieces of coloured marble found in the high Roman Empire and late Antiquity period. For every sites we will determined the distribution and the proportion as well as the different ways they were shaped. Then we will analyse chronologically the use of these elements in the “domus” decoration and in public building.Last but not least we will link it together with the routing of the supplier in the Rhône valley at the Roman Empire period.

The purpose of this study of two year interior design programs will be to assess the effectiveness of the programs in meeting the established industry requirements for entry-level positions of employment.

It is my purpose in this thesis to explore supergraphics ln the Portland area. I intend this thesis to be used as a source book for teachers wishing to implement supergraphics programs in their schools. I plan to divide my thesis into _ two areas: First, a survey of supergraphics in the Portland environment, and second, ' a survey of Portland area schools that have implemented supergraphlc projects or programs. A substantial portion of the information compiled for this thesis comes from conversations with Portland area graphic designers, architects and teachers. I have included photographs of what I consider to be good examples of Portland area supergraphics. It is my hope that this thesis will be a valuable source of information for teachers who are interested in beginning a supergraphics program in their schools.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between windows and interior design preferences in enclosed office spaces. The research sample consisted of forty executives from NASA. Subjects were asked to plan the interior design of an executive office space (simulated with a scale model) in response to four different window types and then asked to choose one of the four window types for the space. Subjects' reactions were observed and questioned throughout the experiment, to study the relation between windows and interior design preferences. Window functions and configurations, subjects' age, sex, country of origin, activity, and interaction levels were investigated as independent variables influencing the dependent variable perception of the relation between windows and interior design preferences. The data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and in-depth theoretical analysis of individual responses. Subjects' consciousness of the relation between windows and interior design preferences increased as activity and interaction levels increased. Window configurations and functions influenced interior· design preferences, especially furniture arrangement and color selection preferences. Interior design preferences influenced the choice of a window type to a considerable extent, perhaps as much as view and daylight. An overview of the study indicates that windows and interior design preferences are parts of a cyclic inter-relationship where each factor influences the other and therefore should each be considered with equal importance by both architects and interior designers. / Master of Science
