This thesis is concerned with the design of a Civil War Museum depicting battles which took place in and around the Fredericksburg, Virginia area. I chose the topic Civil War action dramatized at Fredericksburg, Virginia (1862-1864), because I was concerned with the future application for my career as an architect, with the personal significance as subject matter, and with an integrative vehicle for my studies. / Master of Architecture

Structures of perfect symmetry, order, and beauty exist in both discoveries of science and objects found in natures. With careful observation and analysis, creative applications of these interesting forms can be and have been applied in many architectural structures with great success. In this project the utilization of these forms can not only bring out the purpose of this Museum of Nature and Science, but because these forms are derived from natural studies, they can also give viewers a sense of familiarity and peacefulness. / Master of Architecture

L'accessibilité des musées hongrois aux personnes en situation de handicap, entendue au sens large, c'est-à-dire l'accessibilité du cadre bâti, l'accès à l'information, à la communication, l'accès à l'offre culturelle et aux pratiques artistiques, constitue aujourd'hui non seulement une obligation légale mais surtout une opportunité d'élargissement des publics. Grâce à une politique volontariste d'accueil des publics en situation de handicap dans les musées et à une adaptation spécifique du cadre bâti, des supports d'informations et de communication, des prestations et animations culturelles ou encore des outils et supports pédagogiques grâce aux innovations technologiques en perpétuelle innovation, il est possible de prendre en compte tous les types de visiteurs en situation de handicap dans les musées et de leur faire bénéficier de services et d'offres adaptés à leurs attentes et à leurs besoins. Pour autant, dans la pratique, la réalité sur le terrain hongrois n'est pas toujours si évidente, les rapports entre les personnes en situation de handicap et les musées hongrois étant un fait relativement récent. Pour aborder ce sujet, trois musées nationaux de Budapest ont été choisis par rapport à leurs critères particuliers en tant qu'études de cas afin d'analyser la situation de l'accessibilité et de mettre en place dans ces musées des projets de mise en accessibilité pour l'accueil des publics en situation de handicap. Les conclusions issues de la mise en place de ces divers projets développés dans ces trois musées permettent de dresser des recommandations, des préconisations et des pistes d'actions destinées plus particulièrement aux professionnels des musées. / The accessibility of the Hungarian museums for people with disabilities - i.e. in a broader sense accessibility of the building, access to information and communication and access to cultural and artistic practices - represents today not only a legal obligation but actually a substantial contribution to the enlargement of the public. Thanks to the voluntarist politics in the museums regarding services of handicapped people, thanks to the special adjustment of the buildings, to the information and communication appliences, to the cultural services and even to the pedagogical means and methods in a constant technological development and innovation, it is possible to take into consideration all types of visitors with disabilities and to provide them with services adjusted to their expectations and needs. Nevertheless in practice this is not always so obvious in Hungary, the dialogue between handicapped people and the Hungarian museums started just recently. In order to investigate this subject matter, three national museums have been selected in Budapest to be examined in a case study. The aim was to see and analyse their conditions of accessibility and implement the projects related to accesibility and to the actions how to welcome a public with disabilities. The conclusions drawn from the different projects developped in these three museums make it possible to set up recommendations and suggestions and to propose action plans particularly to the professionals working in the museums.
