Based on the principle of decentralization, Wright advocated for the abandonment of the industrialized city in favor of an agrarian landscape where each individual would have access to his or her own acre of land. Wright's vision, which he called Broadacre City, was to be the fruit of modern technology directed towards its proper end - human freedom. Envisioning a society that would be technologically advanced in practice but agrarian in organization and values, Wright developed a proposal that embodied the conceptual polarity between nature and culture. This thesis critically examines Wright's resolution of this dichotomy in light of the cultural and intellectual currents prevalent in America of his time. / Committee in Charge: Alison Snyder, Chair; James Tice; Deborah Hurtt

Abordé sous la forme d’une étude de cas, ce travail se situe à la croisée des trois domaines de recherche que sont l’architecturologie (l’étude du processus de création appliquée au domaine de l’architecture), l’histoire de l’architecture moderne et l’histoire du Japon moderne. Il se propose de cerner le processus de conception architecturale par lequel l’architecte tchèque naturalisé américain Antonin Raymond (1888-1976) a réalisé une synthèse entre un modernisme occidental emblématique des années 1920 et 1930 et l’habitat vernaculaire japonais, produit d’une tradition ancienne de la conception de l’espace et de la construction. Organisée en trois parties, la thèse s’ouvre sur une biographie présentant le parcours qui mène Raymond de sa Bohême natale jusqu’au Japon, en passant par les États-Unis. Elle se poursuit avec l’étude des circonstances dans lesquelles il s’établit en tant qu’architecte indépendant à Tokyo, en rendant compte de l’acquisition d’un certain nombre de moyens humains et techniques nécessaires à la pratique architecturale dans le contexte japonais. Enfin, une sélection de dix-sept villas réalisées à Tokyo et des destinations de villégiatures environnantes entre 1921 et 1938 est présentée. L’analyse architecturale détaillée de ces habitations réalisées pour une clientèle d’élite japonaise et occidentale permet d’observer les étapes du développement du processus de création architecturale qui ont permis à Antonin Raymond de proposer une architecture à dimension universelle ancrée dans un contexte local. Par le biais de l’architecture, ce travail illustre ainsi une partie des problématiques et des enjeux soulevés par le processus de modernisation qui caractérise l’histoire du Japon dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. / In the form of a case study, this thesis is set at the crossroads of history of modern architecture, history of modern Japan and architecturologie (the study of the creative process applied to the field architecture). The purpose of this research is to define the design process through which Czech born American architect Antonin Raymond (1888-1976) carried out a synthesis between some of the most iconic forms of 1920s and 1930s Western modernism, and Japanese vernacular residential architecture inherited from a long tradition of space conception and construction. The thesis is structured in three parts. Starting with a biographical account of the architect’s first 32 years, the first part deals with the educational and professional journey that led Raymond from his native Bohemia to Japan, via the United States. The second part explores the circumstances of his establishment as an independent architect in Japan, and examines the human and technical means he implemented in order to set up his professional practice in the Japanese context of the 1920s. The third part gives a detailed analysis of a selection of seventeen houses designed and built between 1921 and 1938 for members of the Japanese and international elite community in Tokyo and its surrounding resort destinations. The detailed architectural analysis of these works illustrates the various stages and dimensions of Raymond’s design process, and provides insight into his own proposal for an architecture encompassing both universal and local dimensions. Through the subject of architecture, this study deals with a number of problematics and challenges brought by the process of modernisation in Japan during the first half of the 20th century.

"This paper is a study of Lloyd Douglas' works to show how he developed a type of inspirational novel based on the messages of successful living he had so adequately proclaimed from the pulpit. It was felt that the best way to present an over all picture of the life and works of Lloyd Douglas was in a bio-bibliography"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Harold E.

Detta är en förstudie som går ut på att utveckla ett mätkonceptsförslag. Förslaget ska kunna fungera som ett potentiellt fundament för fortsatt arbete för att kunna avgöra mjukheten hos tissue-papper, det vill säga hög-absorberande papper som till stor del används för hygienändamål som exempelvis toalettpapper och servetter. Förslaget ska integreras med mätinstrumentet Syntouch BioTac som är en haptisk sensor samt tryck- och dragprovaren Lloyd LR5K. Kravet för att mätkonceptet ska vara acceptabelt är att det ska vara objektivt samt repeterbart.  En litteraturstudie genomfördes tidigt som resulterade i att författarna insåg att en prototyp behövde konstrueras. Prototypen utvecklades med hjälp av nödvändiga teorier som skulle säkerhetsställa att framtagningen av prototypen gjordes på ett objektivt sätt.  Tre olika typer av tissue-papper valdes ut för att genomgå mätmetoden med den konstruerade prototypen. Mätmetoden genererade data som sedan analyserades med lådagram och dessutom åskådliggjordes testresultatet med grafer. Datan analyserades och resulterade i att förstudien gav författarna ett positivt utslag på frågeställning. Det vill säga att mätkonceptsförslaget uppfyllde objektivitet samt repeterbarhet. / This is a pilot study which involves a development of creating a proposal for a concept that can measure tissue-paper. This study should be able to be used as a fundamental thesis for future studies that will determine the softness of tissue-paper, ergo paper that is highly absorbent of liquids which is frequently used for personal hygiene such as toilet paper and napkins etc. The concept must be integrated with the haptic sensor Syntouch BioTac which is mounted on the push-pull tester Lloyd LR5K. The requirement to make this study successful is that the measuring concept will produce data which not only is objectively created but also repeatable.  The study began with research which resulted with the conclusion that a prototype needed to be created that would make it possible to perform tests on the tissue-papers. Creating the prototype was made possible by using a few necessary theories which would ensure that it would be done accordingly with minimal subjective input.  Three different kinds of tissue-paper were chosen to go through the measuring procedure with the constructed prototype. The data that was obtained from the procedure was then analyzed with boxplots and the test results were also depicted into graphs. The conclusion that was made after analyzing the data was that the authors of this study had obtained a positive verdict according to their issued question. Thus, the measuring concept was presenting objectively and repeatable results.
