The problem of this study is to determine those factors and characteristics that establish the supper club as a separate entity in the field of commercial food service operations. The policies and practices of the supper club will be contrasted with the policies and practices of restaurants and private clubs. / Typescript. / "June, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Includes bibliographical references.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references. / A set of design studies examines the ways in which the ongoing, routine activities of an educational institution may inter act with a variety of ceremonial public gathering events related to its curriculum, through the shared physical presence of its building facility. An existing music school is analyzed to provide a source for introductory design in formation. Concurrently, some similar buildings are examined to facilitate generalized analytic observations. The above two steps form a foundation for a schematic design exercise intended as a vehicle to illuminate some of their possible formal consequences. Graphic documentations include fragments or design process steps and the resulting schematic design proposal. / by Hiroshi Yoneyama. / M.Arch.

This thesis is concerned with the relations between clientele variations, as indexed by appearance and behavior, and nightclub locations in Vancouver, B.C. Nightclubs are marketers of experiential products where the customer is part of the entertainment. The sociological and psychological literature suggest that a person's appearance and behavior at entertainment activities are a reflection of his self image and are components of his life style. Retail location studies indicated that self image and life style are important factors in a customer's selection of stores at which to shop. Thus appearance and behavior of clientele can be assumed to be a differentiating factor between nightclubs. Two working hypotheses were advanced: 1) that in general nightclubs with similar clientele group together in urban space; and 2) in some cases nightclubs will group together to permit something akin to comparative shopping. A rating instrument was developed to unobtrusively measure seven variables (hair, clothing, facial decoration, companionship, dance, drink, and age) that together describe the appearance and behavior of clientele at nightclubs. The instrument had two subsections, one for male and another for female subjects. The development and testing of the instrument was one of the major tasks of the thesis. Cross tabulations and examination of responses to selected variables indicated that relationships did exist between the categories of the seven variables, for both male and female subjects. It was therefore concluded that there were a number of identifiable client types implicit in the nightclub population. The nightclubs were classified by a hierarchical grouping technique on the basis of similarity of clientele. Both male and female groups showed a definite segmentation along appearance and behavior lines; the male groups also corresponded closely with the entertainment policies of the nightclubs. Further examination indicated that the nightclub groups were spatially defined into seven subdistricts within the C.B.D. and in terms of a core-frame pattern. Four of the subdistricts were determined to be composed of nightclubs with similar clientele, the remaining three subdistricts contained clubs with different yet not incompatible clientele. At a more aggregated scale of five subdistricts, four were shown to have similarities in clientele. The core-frame pattern revealed that there were two groups of clubs with similar clientele; dance and floor show clubs in the core of the C.B.D., and clubs marketing nude entertainment in the frame. This pattern was confirmed by an analysis of the quality of the nightclub sites. The analysis of nightclub locations confirmed that, as hypothesized, definite spatial patterns could be determined from variations in clientele appearance and behavior. A comparison of the male and female group structure indicated that the males were more useful in segmenting the market. It was suggested that this situation was a reflection of the social dominance of the male in choosing entertainment activities. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

Indiana is a state rich in musical history. Two cities, in particular-Indianapolis and Richmond-have played significant roles in the evolution and dissemination of jazz music. There have been modest attempts to acknowledge and/or educate Hoosiers about the state's role in the development of ja7.z. However, a level of apathy remains with regard to this aspect of Indiana's cultural heritage. These factors, in conjunction with new development, socioeconomic hardship, and demolition by neglect, have resulted in the loss of countless buildings and sites associated with jazz, music in Indianapolis and Richmond.In the Circle City, Indiana Avenue was a hotbed of ja77. for decades, as were many other scattered downtown sites. All but just a few of these venues are extant today. In Richmond, the Gennett recording studio welcomed the greatest of the early jazz pioneers and pressed millions of records of this genre. The Gennett site lies in ruins today, consisting of remnants of only three structures.There is a need to heighten awareness of the buildings and sites that contributed to the thriving jazz scene in these two cities for the purpose of education, preservation, and interpretation. This thesis has attempted to document and inventory the historical resources associated with jazz in Indianapolis and Richmond in order to facilitate these processes. In addition to the inventory, the two cities are examined in the context of jazz history in Indiana, and current building and site conditions are discussed. / Department of Architecture
