Diploma thesis called “CONVERSION OF DORMITORY TO HOSTEL AND NEW DESIGN OF HOTEL, TOMIOKA SILK MILL JAPAN“ was elaborated according to the regulations in the form of architectural study. The topics of this thesis were two variants of possible conversion of accommodation for workwomen (dormitory). The partial assignment comprised solution to the arrangement of greenery in the atrium of the dormitory, and revitalization of plateau. The building is located in the premise of a former silk mill in the city Tomioka in the Gunma prefecture on the Honshu island in Japan. The conversion of the building for the novel purpose required replenishment of necessary facilities, and some building interventions to assure operation of the hostel. In both variants, partial adjustment of the original building was needed. However, all changes had to maintain proportions and volume of the building not to compromise the original concept of whole premise as well as the skyline of the city. The adjustments of the original building of dormitory consisted of a completion of the entrance portal including a foyer, and a reception with the base of operation. Large glass areas in combination with exposed concrete were used as construction materials. These materials were selected so that the new structures (monolithic ferroconcrete) are clearly distinguishable from original ones (wood). The Internal atrium was designed in the style of modern japan garden with various types of surfaces (vegetation – moss; mineral – gravel and stones). Variant 1 – the new constructions of the two facility buildings. Building A is washroom building, and building B is catering building with toilets. The volumes of individual objects were formed by simple prisms rotated by 30° a 60° against axis of dormitory. These volumes complied with dimensions of the original building. The building A protruded on the edge of the slope, and it was paneled with glass plates. The building B was glassed-in from the south, while the northern side was constructed from exposed concrete in a compact way. The building A was divided to two symmetric parts by a central wall for both structural and functional purposes. At the end of the building, there was an ofuro (swimming pool) providing views of the surrounding mountains. Typological solution of the building B included separate toilets with a mixed washroom, which were located in the northern part of the building. In the southern part, the space for catering was divided to an operational space, and a space for visitors by a dispensing counter. The building A was from reinforced concrete and was founded on the base plate. The central wall represented the main load-bearing structural element that prevents transverse breakage. The central wall was anchored into the ground with piles. The building B was also from reinforced concrete and was based on the strip foundations. Variant 2 – the extension was formed as a simple prism that complied with the rectangular system of the premise and dimensions of the original dormitory building. Employed materials of the new constructions were concrete and glass similarly to the other new extensions. To ensure intimate environment, the glass part of a façade was enclosed by a bamboo fence. This space was also used as a viewable green garden. The building was typologically divided to the parts for women and men. Both parts were equipped with ofuro. The building was monolithic ferroconcrete skeleton based on the footings.

São Gonçalo figura entre uma das maiores aglomerações da rede urbana brasileira. Polarizada em nível metropolitano pelo Rio de Janeiro e também pela cidade de Niterói, experimentou um período e desenvolvimento endógeno ligado ao bom desempenho da atividade industrial até os anos 1960. A partir deste período, no contexto de crise no estado do Rio de Janeiro e intensificação dos deslocamentos para as duas cidades mais dinâmicas da área metropolitana, ficou conhecida como cidade-dormitório, graças em grande parte pelo fato da cidade promover os maiores deslocamentos pendulares do país. São Gonçalo continua a ser uma cidade-dormitório? Quais elementos atestam um maior dinamismo na cidade? Esta parcela da metrópole pode ser considerada uma centralidade, ainda que periférica? A grande periferia é habitada exclusivamente por população de baixa renda? Estes são os principais questionamentos que procuramos responder, compreendendo o papel de São Gonçalo e analisando seu tratamento como subúrbio e como periferia-dormitório. Através da realização de ampla revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e trabalhos de campo, verificou-se que sempre existiu grande complexidade da divisão do trabalho local na cidade, cujo dinamismo interno permite constatar que este aglomerado se constitui numa centralidade periférica. / São Gonçalo is one of the largest agglomerations of the Brazilian urban network. Polarized at metropolitan level in Rio de Janeiro and also in the city of Niterói, experienced a period and endogenous development linked to the good performance of industrial activity until the 1970s. From this period, in the context of crisis in the state of Rio de Janeiro and intensification of the displacements to the two most dynamic cities of the metropolitan area, became known as a dormitory city, thanks in large part to the fact that the city is among the largest commuting in the country. Is São Gonçalo still a dormitory city? What elements attest a greater dynamism in the city? Can this peripheral city be considered a metropolitan center? The large periphery is the place exclusively of low-income residents? These are initial questions that we seek to answer, understanding the role of this city and inferring trends for large urban agglomerations. It analyzes the different functions performed by the city, its treatment as a suburb and as a periphery-dormitory, seeking to understand through work, consumption and life relations, indicative of the role of this city in the metropolitan area.

Master of Science / Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology / S A. Leslie-Toogood / With the creation of Facebook in 2004, colleges and universities across the United States have been playing catch-up with students. This new technology carries much weight as a new medium for students to build social connections and grow as members of their institutions. However, this new technology also brings negative implications such as lowered GPAs with greater use. Research was conducted at four major institutions across the country exploring how residence hall students use online communities and the impact it has on their physical world experience on campus. Most students use Facebook as a tool for staying connected to friends from high school, but there is a small population of students who are using it as a tool to make social connections they could not find in person. This study explores the impacts Facebook has had on a college campus. University administrators are urged to use this data to take a proactive approach to using these technologies to enhance the overall campus experience.
