Albert street block: a process for designing in-between spaces

Green, Anita 16 April 2014 (has links)
This practicum explores In-Between spaces within the urban environment and a process of design that can create a more responsive and resilient urban environment capable of evolving to accommodate for changing needs and requirements of the future. The research of In-Between spaces was completed within Winnipeg’s Exchange District to gain an understanding of the character, spatial characteristics, and formal order of In-Between spaces there. The knowledge acquired from this research was utilized to develop an awareness of the specific spatial and functional conditions, which provided the basis for building a typology of In-Between spaces. A critical analysis of Integral Urbanism, by Nan Ellin, and A New Theory of Urban Design, By Christopher Alexander, was conducted to assist in the understanding of the potential character of In-Between spaces and the process that informed the final design. The principles and concepts brought forth by Ellin and Alexander, were utilized throughout the design process of the Albert Street Block in order to guide the process and provide a basis of analysis of each individual design intervention. The result of this research and analysis was a design for the Albert Street Block that created a positive and desirable urban space, strengthening the resiliency of the site for years to come.

Thundershowers: A Novella, with a Commentary

Butts, Nina 08 1900 (has links)
Thundershowers, an original novella, represents one person's perception of relationships between women and men. The first-person narrator, Anna Slone, records her limited observations of married and unmarried couples while she pursues her own involvement with a man. She observes nothing admirable in any of the relationships between men and women in the story, and her own romance falls short of her expectations. The only nurturing love that she records passes between herself and two other women, her mother and a friend. Thundershowers is not meant to be a suggestion that all woman-man relationships are soulless or that real love can exist only between women. Set in a Colorado resort, the action focuses on several concurrent love-interests, including a faltering marriage, a traditional marriage, the engagement of two young lovers, a lighthearted sexual affair, and the short-lived but painful romance of Anna and a man whom she meets at the resort.

Figuring the Between

Hanly, Peter Charles January 2013 (has links)
Thesis advisor: John Sallis / This dissertation is an attempt to describe parallels and convergences between the work of Martin Heidegger and that of the poet and philosopher of the Jena Romantic period Friedrich von Hardenberg, known also as Novalis. The fact that little attention has been given to the consideration of their relationship is undoubtedly owing to the fact that there is no sustained address to the work of the Jena Romantics in Heidegger's writing. However, the question of their relation merits reflection because of the insistence with which, albeit in a marginal way, Heidegger returns again and again in his work to fragments of Novalis. These fragments often seem to operate in Heidegger's lectures as something like stepping-stones, or guide-posts that mark a particular turn in the direction of the argument. Following one such quotation, Heidegger remarks that he "does not want to provoke and argument over the authority of this witness." However, it is indeed as "witness," and also in a certain sense as "authority" that Novalis is more often than not introduced. The question, then, is: what kind of authority? And to what is this authority called upon to bear witness? This question is rendered more substantial by the fact that these curious and marginal appearances of the Jena Romantic poet and philosopher take place in Heidegger's work over a period of forty years, from 1916 to 1959. More intriguing still, though, is that - when viewed together - these appearances attest to a strong ambivalence on Heidegger's part. On the one hand, a fragment of Novalis might be presented as an extraordinary "flash of insight" that presages unforeseen directions in philosophical thinking. On the other hand, these insights are also sometimes subject to summary judgment, dismissed by virtue of a broad and rather sweeping association with Hegel. Thus, it might be said that a kind of mystery hovers around this presence, a sense of both attraction and resistance. Following one such moment, indeed, and after having quoted Novalis' Monologue in its entirety, Heidegger writes: "Much remains dark and confusing in this monologue of λόγος, especially as he thinks in another direction and speaks in another language than the one attempted in these lectures." Still more than marking points of convergence, then, this project is dedicated to an attempt to shed light on this "dark and confusing" difference. To that end, the first part of the essay will engage Novalis' own extraordinary philosophical project; a project that involves an endeavor not merely to ponder the relations between philosophy and poetry, but to effect a complete elision of their distinction, and to offer to them thereby the thought of an entirely new meeting-ground. The essay will trace out the philosophical origins of this endeavor, and try to show how the thinking engendered in those origins flourishes to produce a unique conception of the relations between the natural world and the language we use to describe it. The second part of the essay will, by contrast, engage Heidegger, in an attempt to mark a terrain in which aspects of his work can be seen to come into close proximity with the thought of the Jena Romantics, often in quite unexpected and unpredictable ways. These considerations will operate along two axes. On the one hand, an address is made to question of pain in Heidegger's work, in order to show the continuity, but also to describe the philosophical orientation and historical genesis of this thematic. Secondly, the very distinctive manner of writing and thinking that belongs to Heidegger's work of the late 1930's is addressed in light of this thematic. It will be shown that it is in these texts, and most especially in the Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis), that Heidegger's processes of writing offer the most striking parallels to modes of thinking that unfold in the orbit of Jena Romanticism. Finally, though, what is hazarded in this essay is not by any means a "Romantic" reading of Heidegger, and still less a "Heideggerean" reading of Novalis, but rather an endeavor to show how, and to what extent, the thinking of both Heidegger and Novalis converge in taking their orientation, in very different ways, from the historical appropriation of a decisive moment in Greek thought, namely one particular thought that belongs to the fragments of Heraclitus. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2013. / Submitted to: Boston College.
