Arbutus infill : housing on the edgeSaul, David William Lindsay 11 1900 (has links)
The theme of this exploration is the issue of habitability. In its most basic sense, dwilling seems to
be defined by constructions which carry social values of privacy. At the same time, the many
moves of privacying are understood to be relative to public worlds--to the point that ambiguities
persist: the fact that pivate percetions can be exchanged for public ones in the very same spaces.
Uncovering these relative and, at times, opposite realities means that a great deal of importance is
paid to thresholds. By this, I mean the truns in plan, the drops in section, etc. which relate a
sequence of unfolding via devices which stimulate subtleties in mood and awareness.
Issues of public to private (and its opposite, simultaneous inversion) are investigated using the
concept of nested scales . Here, analogous moods shared by movements through scale (eg.
street to courtyard; hall to room) are investigated for their synergy.
Parallel to these social perceptions are investigations which focus on the elemental specifics of
dwellings. What value can hearths be to dwelling? What is a modern control centre for the
household? What are the requirements for the bathing ritual? These types of questions
permeate the general evalutaion of dwelling design. Sutides which detail abstracted, idealised
elements help to inform the larger project-like a kit of parts, they serve as cornerstones which
seed and temper the sequential experience of the dwelling. Ultimately, this abstraction absolves
the need to make "rooms" but rather to compose dwellings via the integration of elements filtered
through public/private dialogues, sequence, and continuity.
The site is bounded by 15th and 16th avenues to the North and South and by Arbutus St. and
the CPR right of way to the west and east, respectively. Its dimenstions are 270 feet in length
and 16 feet and its narrowest, 44 feet and its widest. The site acts as catalyst for the whole project
of fitting in thresholds and elements. Like a sandwich, the site compresses thin, discrete, and
identifiable componete parts into a whole building. The very narrowness of the site forces a
dialogue to surface between the tremendous, double-sided exposure of the building—its public
condition, and the construction of nesting scales of prospect and refuge.

The James Ave Pumping Station: adaptive reuse for graduate student accommodationYan, Xiaolei (David) 03 September 2010 (has links)
This practicum focuses on the issues of the overlapping boundaries between Student housing and downtown redevelopment. Can graduate students find a place in the downtown to meet their need for off-campus housing, and simultaneously help build a healthy, vibrant, downtown community; ensuring the housing facility represents a quality space for both graduate students and the local community? The following is an investigation of related issues including: Richard Florida’s notion of the Creative Class, multi-purpose development, the university as an urban catalyst, and adaptive reuse. The combination of graduate housing and the city’s downtown redevelopment will create new design typology that benefits both graduate students and downtown community. The practicum project consists of a live/work space for Winnipeg in the Waterfront area by adaptively reusing the James Ave Pumping Station building. The renovated building includes a bookstore, a coffee shop, a daycare, and an urban grocery store. However, the design focuses on the informal learning space and the quality of graduate students’ living experience through aspects such as accommodation, study space, meeting and casual spaces.

Regenerating The Historical Fabric: A Proposal For A Hybrid Infill In MardinKayasu, Mert 01 September 2005 (has links) (PDF)
Mardin& / #8217 / s unique stone architecture has evolved within various ethnical and religious communities. Regardless of its hybrid nature, with the effect of topography, the fabric has a uniform character.
The interventions made to the city during the last century have repeated fragments of stereotype apartment building instead of sustaining traditional typologies (building types with living unit, aiwan, arcade, terrace and courtyard). Typological difference of these interventions has caused an incongruous hybridization and deterioration in the fabric.
Hybridization in architecture, for Felipe Hernandez, is not only diversity of architectural styles and materials. Furthermore, it is a cultural issue related with changes in the society. Mardin confronts hybridization because the traditional buildings are incapable of embracing contemporary functions. This has been exemplified with Gö / zü / House and neighboring buildings. Late interventions are distinguished from the historical ones according to typological differences.
This study accepts hybrid as a problem but also as a fact / thus aims to regenerate it. The historical types, accepted as original, are interpreted with a contemporary sense in reference to debates on sustaining urban form with new buildings and theories on typology which define it as open to creativity, vague in form and reproducible. This is exemplified by a proposal, an infill in the fabric.
Spatial sequence of the proposal refers to traditional plan typologies while these spaces embrace contemporary functions and their architectonic expression refers to contemporary architecture. So, in relation to the facts of the present context the proposal fulfills its spatial expectations while respecting physical context.

Defining Morrow Sandstone Channel System in Manassas Field, Denver Basin, Colorado, USAWalakulu Arachchige, Dilini Madhushani 01 September 2021 (has links)
The Manassas oil field was discovered in 1986 in Lincoln County, Colorado (Township 14S, Range 56W) by Petro Lewis Corporation and it completed production from the Pennsylvanian Atoka Sandstone within 24 years. It is located on the theoretical NW extension of the Haswell-Salt Lake Morrow sandstone producing trend and Morrow sandstones have found in some of the available wells in the area. The productive Morrow sandstones are fluvial channel deposits that are encased by marine shales. The distribution of the Morrow channel system is difficult to define from either data obtained from sparsely located wells alone, or directly from seismic data due to low acoustic contrast between fluvial sandstones and marine shale. Therefore, this study has used a correlation of well log data to understand regional stratigraphy of the selected study area and seismic attributes were used to develop a workflow to define the Morrow sandstone channel system in the Manassas prospect. Well logs from forty wells were used to define the early Pennsylvanian strata (Marmaton, Cherokee, upper and lower Atoka, upper and lower Morrow) and underlying Mississippian unit (St. Louis). The formation data were used to visualize the regional stratigraphy using isopach maps and stratigraphic cross sections. The acoustic and density logs from the Lockwood 27-22 well located in the Manassas field, were used to generate the synthetic seismogram for the purpose of seismic horizons interpretation. The upper Morrow isochron thick was defined using upper and lower Morrow time structure maps. The channel infill system was first detected using the Chaos attribute that identifies reflectors associated with channel infills that are normally chaotic signals with low consistency. The observation was confirmed using, Variance attribute that analyzes signal coherency, and estimates trace to trace variance. The amplitude attributes (RMS Amplitude – iterative attribute, and Envelope) highlight both channel infills and bright spots. The Genetic Inversion identifies relative variations of rock properties. The Generalized Spectral Decomposition attribute was used to visualize the detailed channel morphology through generating a RGB blending model as the final step. This study shows that the Morrow channel sandstones are present across the Manassas prospect and are interpreted as a composite meandered and anastomosed channel system. The observed high amplitude variations are interpreted as tuning effects of thin beds and relative lithological changes caused by variations of rock properties such as density and porosity.

The wall and the veil : reclaiming women's space in a world heritage siteVerster, Mia January 2014 (has links)
In the Stone Town of Zanzibar, a World Heritage Site, the
amalgamation of various cultures has created a complex architectural
as well as cultural heritage. Public space is regarded as male space
due to the strong Islamic legacy, and currently women have very limited
access to public or recreational spaces, despite prominent spaces
having been available for their exclusive use historically. However,
cultural practices are slowly changing as women are gaining better
access to education, the workplace and decision-making roles, and are
thus moving into the public realm. The project investigates the potential
of architecture to react to and accommodate this shift. Gender roles
are acknowledged as valuable social constructs and the project aims
to facilitate the creation of a living, changing heritage. This proposal
for a women’s centre in Stone Town draws from both the tangible
and intangible heritage to develop a contemporary interpretation of
traditional values and aesthetics while aiming to empower women in
their quest to reclaim public space. The project is located on a street
that had formed part of a previous planning scheme to incorporate
vehicles into the dense town, and had subsequently developed as
a scar in the urban fabric. A public square that has fallen into disuse
due to illegal construction and an enclosed garden next to it offers the
opportunity to revitalise the area. The proposed project will consist
of areas that afford the following activities, each suitably designed to
respond to and maximise the gender-related needs and restrictions
of the activities: demonstration workshops, shops, restaurant and
demonstration kitchen, offi ce space, study area and library, turkish
bath, swimming pool, and various garden spaces. The architecture will
explore the application of traditional technologies in the construction of
contemporary buildings in order to develop an architectural language
that fi ts harmoniously within its surroundings but contributes to the
legacy of outstanding architecture in Stone Town. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2014. / Architecture / MArch(Prof) / Unrestricted

Controlled Trim-Blasting Model to Improve Stability and Reduce Vibrations at a Production Gallery of the San Ignacio de Morococha S.A.A. Mining CompanyCamallanqui-Alborque, C., Quispe, G., Raymundo-Ibañeez, C. 25 November 2019 (has links)
This paper presents a blasting method called controlled trim blasting, in which the rock mass of an unstable gallery where high levels of vibration have been detected is analyzed. This methodology comprises a drilling mesh with two-contour gallery assessment, producing its drilling machines and determining the type of explosive used and burden and spacing, which will be detonated after the internal blasting. Further, the internal blasting will possess its drilling machines, burden, spacing, and a second type of explosive. The separation of the gallery into smaller parts will improve the blasting, as verified in the recorded simulation. In addition, the rock-mass stability improves because the explosives used in the perimeter of the gallery are low-power with mild detonation pressure, which does not generate high levels of vibration. This is a practical and efficient method in areas where the rock mass is not good or there is a mixture of rock types.
