Observation & Light

Porzio, Catherine 18 December 1999 (has links)
Our life experience can be enriched by observation; acknowledging this as a way of "seeing" can positively influence architectural design. This thesis records personal observation of light and looks to historical precedents in which natural light is revered as an element that both defines space and emphasizes importance of place. The culmination of this course of study is a project for light in which a monumental sundial becomes an amphitheater for the town of Newport, Virginia. / Master of Architecture

Analema de Vitruvius: dos relógios solares até o relógio de sol plano horizontal

Calil, Marcos Rogério 12 May 2008 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-28T14:16:32Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcos Rogerio Calil.pdf: 11488359 bytes, checksum: dd0835c7c2c46050e6e9c84469f65015 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-05-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Vitruvius, who was born near Rome around the first century BC, introduces in his work Ten Books on Architecture several teachings on Roman architecture, concepts regarding war machines, and also information about the science of his time. His name, place of birth, the dates of his birth and death, and the exact year when the work was written are still open issues, stimulating controversies among specialists who seek to understand the thoughts of the Roman architects who lived in that period. Besides that, several words used within the Ten Books on Architecture are left without translation, because their contextual meaning cannot be understood. The work Ten Books on Architecture, allegedly written by Vitruvius, not only provides the reader with architectural concepts of the first century BC, but also allows a glimpse of the Roman view of the Universe at that time. The aim of the ninth book is explaining Astronomy and the mechanism of the sky for the construction of sundials, and presents the analemma. Vitruvius analemma is a basic geometric analysis preceding the construction of all sundials at that time. However, Vitruvius only describes the construction of the geometric diagram, and not its use and application, a task that is left to mathematicians. He does mention the names of several inventors and their respective sundials, but he does not offer any further details. This work presents, in chapter I, a philological analysis of Vitruvius. Chapter II offers a detailed analysis of Vitruvius book IX, chapter VIII, verse I, where the author refers to many types of sundials and their inventors. After a thorough examination of those sundials, in chapter III the readers will be able to check each stage of the construction of the analemma, commented with the use of translations into Latin, French, Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese, together with the opinions of commentators. Finally, chapter IV shows an example of how Vitruvius analemma can be applied for the construction of a plane horizontal sundial, following the analysis of Gustav Bilfinger / Nascido por volta do século I a.C. nas regiões próximas de Roma, Vitruvius apresenta na sua obra Dez Livros de Arquitetura, diversos ensinamentos sobre arquitetura romana e conceitos construtivos sobre as máquinas de guerras da época, acompanhadas de informações sobre a ciência da época. Seu nome, local de nascimento, datas de vida e morte e data exata da elaboração da obra são questões abertas que geram debates entre os especialistas que desejam entender os pensamentos dos arquitetos romanos que viveram durante esse período. Atrelados a esses fatores, os textos inseridos nos dez livros deixam diversas palavras sem tradução por não apresentarem um entendimento acerca do propósito contextual. A obra Dez Livros de Arquitetura, atribuído a Vitruvius, além de proporcionar ao leitor os conceitos arquitetônicos do século I a.C. também permite captar uma visão de Universo que os romanos tinham dessa época. Desses dez livros, apenas o nono apresenta o propósito de explicar a Astronomia com fundamentos de mecânica celeste objetivando como resultado final a construção de relógios solares e apresentação do analema . O analema de Vitruvius é uma analise fundamental que antecede todas as demais construções de relógios solares existentes na época. Porém, Vitruvius nos indica apenas a construção e não o uso e aplicação do mesmo, deixando essa tarefa para os matemáticos. Descrevendo os nomes de vários inventores e seus respectivos relógios solares, sem no entanto esclarecer detalhes. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar ao leitor, no decorrer do primeiro capítulo, uma análise filológica de Vitruvius. No segundo capítulo, a pesquisa realiza uma análise aprofundada do capítulo oito, verso um, contido no livro nove, onde Vitruvius apresenta diversos tipos de relógios solares e seus autores. Após a análise minuciosa desses relógios solares, no capítulo três o leitor poderá verificar cada etapa de construção do analema de Vitruvius com seus comentários através da análise de textos traduzidos para o latim, francês, italiano, inglês, espanhol e português, além de opiniões apresentadas por comentadores. Por fim, no capítulo quatro, será apresentado para o leitor um exemplo de aplicação do analema de Vitruvius para a construção de um relógio solar plano horizontal, seguindo a análise de Gustav Bilfinger

Les instruments de mesure (poids, capacité, temps) dans l'Algérie romaine / Instruments of measurement (weight, capacity, time) in roman Algeria

Boussaid-Rezkallah, Kahina 30 September 2017 (has links)
Cette étude est un travail de recherche, d'inventaire, d'analyse (archéologique, épigraphique, métrologique, technique et artistique) et d'une nouvelle approche méthodologique sur des différents témoignages archéologiques et épigraphiques relatifs à la mesure du poids, capacité et temps en Algérie romaine. Cette étude est un nouveau thème qui mérite beaucoup d'attention et qui représente beaucoup d'intérêt pour l'archéologie algérienne en particulier et de l'Afrique romaine en générale et qui contribuera à l'enrichissement de la bibliographie spécialisée dans ce domaine. Notre objectif principale, c'est de réaliser un inventaire systématique des instruments de mesures (poids, balances, pesons, crochets et plateaux de balance, ponderarium, mensa ponderaria, cadrans solaires) en notant les spécificités de chaque élément ainsi que l'état de conservation et le lieu de son emplacement actuel. L'étude de l'ensemble de ces objets, malgré leur état de dégradation pour certains et la disparition d'autres, les résultats obtenus sont tout de même importants et prometteurs : ils contribuent à éclaircir l'histoire des cités romaines en Algérie dans les domaines de l'économie, du commerce, de la technique et de l'organisation de la vie publique; ils témoignent néanmoins l'intégration de ces instruments dans la société et attester d'une connaissance de la multiplicité typologique, et les différentes caractéristiques d'utilisation. La plupart sont inédits et non répertories, certain sont rares (les deux cadrans solaires du type plan vertical dièdre de Djemila et le ponderarium du marché de cosinius) et d'autre hors normes (les deux cadrans plan horizontaux monumentaux de Timgad et de Lambèse). Ils sont considérés comme une valeur ajoutée ajoutant du crédit à nos propos et éclairant d'une façon exhaustive notre étude et qui ouvrer des nouvelles perspectives. / This study is a research, inventory, analysis (archaeological, epigraphic, metrological, technical and artistic) and a new methodological approach on various archaeological and epigraphic testimonies relating to the measurement of weight, capacity and time In Roman Algeria. Tis study is a new topic which deserves much attention and which represents a lot of interest for Algerian archeology in particular and of Roman Africa in general and which will contribute to the enrichment of the specialized bibliography in this field. Our main objective is to carry out a systematic inventory of weighing instruments (weights, scales, weighers, hooks and balance trays, ponderarium, mensa ponderaria, sundials), noting the specificities of each element and the state of Conservation and location of its current location. The study of all these objects, despite their state of degradation for some and the disappearance of others, the results obtained are still important and promising: they contribute to clarify the history of the Roman cities in Algeria in the Economy, trade, technology and the organization of public life; They nevertheless testify to the integration of these instruments into society and attest to a knowledge of the typological multiplicity, and the different characteristics of use. Most of them are unpublished and not repertory, some are rare (the two sundials of the type vertical plane dihedron of Djemila and the ponderarium of the cosinius market) and other out of norms (the two monumental horizontal planes of Timgad and Lambèse). They are seen as an added value adding credit to our remarks and enlightening our study in a comprehensive way and opening up new perspectives.

A Dormitory for Architecture Students in Alexandria, Virginia

Cerami, Nestor Gabriel 31 July 2006 (has links)
This thesis is an intimate exploration. A personal journey between here and there: what I left behind, what I always kept close to me and all the new things that I learned and experience during the last four years. I just tried to put myself together as a person as well as an architect; taking from my personal experiences the inspiration and the tools to create a building. The building is orientated to American and foreign students coming to the metropolitan area of Washington DC to study at the Center and willing to take advantage of the opportunities of the city. The idea was to create a building for civic adaptation, to educate and inspire students not only in architecture but also in civic life and prepare them to be responsible citizens. The dormitory was inspired by the friendly spirit of the WAAC with the intention of supporting the Center in its varied goals and enhancing its academic perspectives. / Master of Architecture
