Information Technology Project Management of the New College of Education Facility at Western Kentucky University

Roberts, Christopher Lee 01 May 2014 (has links)
Information Technology (IT) Project Management methodologies are numerous, often varying from organization to organization, and sometimes from project to project within the same organization. Although project type and scope can be a powerful indicator of what methodologies may work best for a given project, choosing which methodology to use can be daunting for project teams. At times, even after due diligence has been practiced to identify the management options available for a given project, there may not be a perfect fit. At such times, or when a formal methodology does not exist in an organization or project management office, the best approach for a project may be to utilize a collective of “best practices,” instead of a concrete methodology. When tasked with the IT Project Management of the new Gary Ransdell Hall on WKU’s main campus, the IT Project Manager (PM) did not have a tried-and-true methodology to use for managing the project. As a result, the IT PM and project team chose to research best practices, as reflected in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), to formulate a project plan that would maximize efficiency while protecting the triple constraints. Early in this paper, the author outlines assumptions, constraints, and risks that faced the IT team throughout the project cycle. Afterwards, the resulting methods and procedures used to manage the IT scope for the project are discussed, with figures included for reference. Next, a brief project summary is included to summarize the results of the project, with performance and scope metrics and limited end-user feedback. Finally, the lessons learned section outlines changes that have been implemented since project completion, as part of a continuous improvement effort by the WKU IT Division.

Read-In Arts

Liu, An 01 January 2017 (has links)
As interior designers, we strive to design everything for our clients, from complex environments to the joinery of a chair. We rarely consider inviting our clients or the users to join us in finishing the space. Read-In workshop is not a school, but a kind of home, a home belonging to children, which provides the possibilities for children to play, to learn, to occupy, to personalize, and to share. An emotional space that will not limit the user, but keep inspiring them. It helps children notice, think, and grow. Half of the interior space will be a fixed design, designed and fabricated during the first construction phase. The other Half will be designed as a flexible and changeable “framework” space, which allow the users to reorganize, repaint, and refinish, depending on their evolving educational needs and aesthetic tastes. Therefore, this “incomplete” workshop will share control with children. The contents of the framework will be continuously updated by the children who participate in the Read-In arts programs.

Jacob Ruchti, a modernidade e a arquitetura paulista (1940-1970) / Jacob Ruchti, the modernity and architecture of São Paulo (1940-1970)

Ruchti, Valeria 16 May 2011 (has links)
Jacob Ruchti, a modernidade e a arquitetura paulista (1940-1970) analisa individualmente, pela primeira vez, o envolvimento do personagem Jacob Ruchti no movimento estéticosócio- cultural paulista. Nascido na Suíça em 1917, Ruchti formou-se arquiteto pela Universidade Mackenzie em 1940. A abordagem destaca sua contribuição pioneira para a semeadura e consolidação do pensamento moderno na sociedade paulista, no que se refere ao surgimento da arte abstrata, ao nascimento do design e à criação do campo de arquitetura de interiores. Arquiteto, designer e professor, foi um estudante ousado e em grande parte autodidata. Dentro de um contexto social em busca de valores modernizantes, desde jovem defendeu uma visão além da mera funcionalidade na arquitetura ou do simples formalismo na arte, enriquecendo suas idéias pela vivência e aspectos culturais, sociais, psicológicos e, mais tarde, envolvendo a consideração simbólica. Com ampla formação cultural, esteve entre os fundadores do Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (IAB), do Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM) e do Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (IAC), a primeira escola de design do Brasil, ao lado de Lina e Pietro Maria Bardi (1951). Articulador no movimento artístico paulista atuou nas primeiras bienais de São Paulo, nas montagens ou como membro do júri internacional. Como professor da FAU/USP, de Composição Decorativa (1954-1961), desenvolveu conceitos bauhausianos fundidos à idéia do design moderno brasileiro, o que significou um avanço, também no nome da Cadeira, que passou a chamar-se Desenho Industrial, em 1962. Ao questionar os valores modernistas, antes de seus colegas, combinou a fluência orgânica de Frank Lloyd Wright com a contemporaneidade industrial de Richard Neutra e Marcel Breuer, que aplicou em projetos de arquitetura. Nos anos 50, ao lado de arquitetos igualmente de menor visibilidade no cenário paulista do período (Aflalo, Chen, Croce, Forte, Millan), destacou-se na criação de um mobiliário moderno, e de alta qualidade com a loja Branco & Preto, inovador à época. Finalmente, permeada por um olhar peculiar, será levantada e recuperada, a partir dos anos 60, sua fase projetual arquitetônica, enfocando principalmente os interiores, momento em que projetou para segmentos diversos como bancos, lojas, restaurante, hotéis, escritórios, consultório e dezenas de espaços internos residenciais. Aprimorando-se na exploração máxima dos materiais e de novas tecnologias, utilizando o espírito investigativo nos campos existencial e psicológico como parte integrante do processo da elaboração arquitetônica, passou a introduzir expressividade formal e introspectiva, com base em André Bloc e Frederick Kiesler combinada à arte concreta, na criação de espaços escultóricos internos. Esta pesquisa apresenta a trajetória do universo profissional e acadêmico do arquiteto. / Jacob Ruchti, the modernity and architecture of São Paulo (1940-1970), offers a firsthand individual analysis of the architects involvement as a character in the esthetic, social and cultural movement in the state of São Paulo. Born in Switzerland in 1917, Ruchti graduated from Mackenzie University in 1940. This paper highlights his pioneering contribution to the inspiration and consolidation of modern thought in the São Paulo society, in relation to the rise of abstract art, the birth of design, and to the creation of interior architecture. Ruchti was an architect, designer and professor, a bold student, and mostly self-taught. Within a social context in search of modernizing values, he defended a view beyond the mere functionality of architecture or of the plain formalisms of art, enhancing his ideas through experience and cultural, social and psychological aspects and, later, by including symbolic considerations. Due to his extensive cultural background, Ruchti was amongst the founders of the Institute of Architects of Brazil (Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil - IAB), the Modern Art Museum (Museu de Arte Moderna - MAM), as well as of the Institute of Contemporary Art (Instituto de Arte Contemporânea - ICA), the latter being the first design school in Brazil, together with Lina and Pietro Maria Bardi (1951). As an articulate representative of the São Paulo art scene, he took part in the first Biennial exhibits in the city, either in the setting up of the events or as an international judge member. As a professor of Decoration Composition for FAU/USP (School of Architecture and Urban Planning of the University of São Paulo) from 1954 to 1961, Ruchti developed Bauhaus concepts, integrating them to the idea of modern Brazilian design, which represented a breakthrough, also in relation to the name of the course, later termed Industrial Design, in 1962. By questioning modernistic values prior to his colleagues, he combined Frank Lloyd Wrights organic style with the industrial contemporaneity of Richard Neutra and Marcel Breuer, and then applied the results to architectural projects. In the fifties, alongside architects equally unknown in the São Paulo scene at that time (such as Aflalo, Chen, Croce, Forte and Millan), Ruchti stood out with the creation of highquality and modern furniture for his store Branco & Preto (White & Black), clearly innovative for its time. Lastly, from a particular standpoint, Ruchtis architectural project phase from the sixties onwards will be examined and recovered, focusing mainly on interior design, which was when he switched to projects for various commercial sectors such as banks, stores, restaurants, hotels, offices, medical offices, as well as for dozens of interior home spaces. Ruchtis inquisitive mind in the existential and psychological fields as part of the architectural elaboration process developed his skills through the maximum use of materials and new technologies, and consequently introduced formal and introspective expressiveness based on André Bloc and Frederick Kiesler, combined with concrete art, in the creation of sculptural internal spaces. This paper addresses the development of the architects professional and academic career.

Mme. de Pompadour: Self Promotion and Social Performance through Architecture and the Decorative Arts

Boyd, Kelly Elizabeth 12 May 2012 (has links)
The structure of this thesis relies on the physical locations of Mme. de Pompadour. Although the chapters are roughly chronological, beginning with her arrival at Versailles in 1745 and ending with her death in 1764, this work makes no attempt to comprehensively chronicle the entirety of her involvement in the decorative arts. Rather, it focuses on several specific aspects of her patronage, with the goal of illuminating her social position and public image, and how she worked to control the two. Chapter One deals with the first rooms Mme. de Pompadour inhabited, from 1745-1750. These upper apartments characterize her early attempts to convey meaning through décor and to shape social interactions within a constructed environment. Chapter Two follows Mme. de Pompadour’s move downstairs, to the lower apartments in 1750. This move parallels an important evolution in her role at court and seeks to explore how her newly political functions were expressed through these interior spaces. Chapter Three is more expansive, examining three architectural projects undertaken by Mme. de Pompadour and Louis XV on her behalf, over the course of her nineteen years at court. These independent homes represented an opportunity for Mme. de Pompadour to actively work to change public perception of herself and her role, an opportunity that she did not waste.

Organizational office space in the virtual age [electronic resource] : the role of shared space in communication / by Sheila Gobes-Ryan.

Gobes-Ryan, Sheila. January 2003 (has links)
Title from PDF of title page. / Document formatted into pages; contains 79 pages. / Thesis (M.L.A.)--University of South Florida, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references. / Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. / ABSTRACT: This thesis takes a phenomenological approach to the examination of the organizational need for shared office space. Questions are developed in a reflexive narrative that introduces challenges to the assumption that space is a given in organizations. The narrative also uses the process of questioning this basis assumption to develop a new understanding of the role of space in organizations in supporting the development of common language needed for the creation of organizational knowledge. Key ideas from systems theory, autopoiesis, organizational theory, semiotics, and psychology are utilized as resources developing the ideas. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Coisa de macho: representações de masculinidades em uma barbearia curitibana

Morais, Vinícius Miranda de 26 March 2015 (has links)
CAPES / Neste trabalho tenho como objetivo evidenciar as imbricações entre cultura material e as relações de gênero, problematizando a construção de representações de masculinidades em ambientes comerciais destinados exclusivamente ao público masculino. O recorte de estudo está centrado nos projetos publicitário e de arquitetura de interiores da Barbearia Clube, inaugurada em Curitiba no ano de 2007. O planejamento destes projetos foi articulado com um ideal de masculinidade chamado de “homem clássico”, caracterizado por atributos como “macho”, “tradicional” e “sem frescura, que serviu de base para o desenvolvimento dos materiais de comunicação e da decoração da barbearia. Os projetos publicitário e de arquitetura de interiores são analisados neste trabalho por meio das narrativas obtidas mediante entrevistas com os (as) envolvidos (as) nos projetos, da leitura de imagens veiculadas nos materiais gráficos de divulgação da Barbearia Clube, assim como por meio de imagens obtidas mediante o registro fotográfico em visitas realizadas ao estabelecimento. Com essas análises tenho como objetivo evidenciar o caráter de construto social das prescrições de gênero, assim como o papel fundamental dos artefatos na construção dos sujeitos e de suas identidades. / My goal in this dissertation is to expose the imbrications between material culture and gender relationships by approaching the construction of depictions of masculinities at store environments designed exclusively for male customers. The scope of study is centered on the advertising and interior design projects of Barbearia Clube, opened in Curitiba in 2007. The planning of these projects hinged on a masculinity ideal called “classic man”, presenting features such as “manly”, “traditional” and “with no frills”, which became the foundation for the development of the barber shop’s communication signs and decoration. The analysis of the advertising and interior design projects is carried out through statements obtained in interviews with the persons involved in the projects, the assessment of images applied in Barbearia Clube advertisement pieces, as well as images obtained by photographic process in visits to the premises. With this analysis I aim to expose the social construct character from gender prescriptions as well as the fundamental role of artifacts in the construction of subjects and their identities.

L’apport du co-design en architecture d’intérieur : la participation des acteurs multidisciplinaires entre efficacité et complexité

Alaya, Asma 01 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente une étude sur le processus du co-design dans le contexte d’un projet d’architecture d’intérieur mené avec des acteurs multidisciplinaires. Nous nous sommes intéressés principalement sur la méthode de participation des acteurs lors du déroulement du processus. Le but de cette recherche est de mieux comprendre les rôles des différents intervenants en co-conception selon leurs disciplines et en contexte des différents outils représentationnels utilisés. Le projet du réaménagement de la bibliothèque HEC Montréal a été utilisé pour cette étude où trois groupes de participants multidisciplinaires, composés d'architectes, professeurs, bibliothécaires, professionnels, gestionnaires, étudiants et designers, on été mobilisés. Nous avons effectué l’observation de ces trois groupes lors de l’idéation, où les conversations, les comportements et les activités des participants ont été observés et analysés. Les résultats suggèrent une différence importante entre les rôles des participants multidisciplinaires en fonction de l’utilisation des outils représentationnels traditionnels et numériques. Nous avons trouvé que la multidisciplinarité est principalement plus importante dans les premières phases des conversations de design, et que les phases les plus avancées davantage font plus appel aux connaissances des disciplines en question. À travers les différents rôles des participants, les résultats proposent aussi l’apparition de deux types de hiérarchie communicationnelle et créative. À partir de ces résultats, cette étude apporte de nouvelles pistes de recherche qui pourront bonifier davantage l'approche du co-design en architecture d’intérieur et en design en général. / This paper presents a study on the co-design process in the context of an interior design project with multidisciplinary stakeholders. We focused mainly on the method of participation of stakeholders in the process flow. The purpose of this research is to better understand the roles of different stakeholders in co-design according to their disciplines and in context of different representational tools. The project of the redevelopment of the library HEC Montreal was used for this study where three multidisciplinary groups of participants were mobilized composed of architects, teachers, librarians, professionals, managers, students and designers. We conducted the observation of these three groups during the ideation, where conversations, behaviours and activities of the participants were observed and analyzed. The results suggest a significant difference between the muldisciplinary participants roles based on the use of representational tools, the involvement of the multidisciplinary nature mainly in the earlier phases of collaborative ideation; two types of hierarchies (communicational and creative) emerged from the different roles of the participants. From these results, this study may provide new avenues of research that could further enhance the approach of co-design.
