The goals of this report were: 1) to present a comparison between historic and present day landscape plantings in the Ravine Garden of the Lilly Pavilion at the Indianapolis Museum of Art; and 2) to develop and establish a vegetation management study that would provide guidelines for the vegetation management of the Ravine Garden. The study and guidelines were developed in order to: a) remove inappropriate present day plantings; b) protect the historic landscape plantings; c) eventually replant the historic plants currently missing; and d) manage the vegetation of the Ravine Garden as in an important historic designed landscape. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Orientadora: Profª. Drª. Maria Elizete Kunkel / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Biomédica, 2017. / A reconstrução auricular está presente desde 600 a.C. na forma de implante de retalhos de pele. Nos últimos anos, tem ocorrido cada vez mais pesquisas sobre o desenvolvimento de próteses que visam substituir um órgão do paciente sem a necessidade de realização de cirurgias. Novas tecnologias, como processos de aquisição da anatomia e manufatura aditiva, têm sido investigadas como alternativa para a produção de próteses auriculares com uma melhor relação custo/qualidade quando comparada com o processo manual. Nesta pesquisa foi desenvolvida uma metodologia para investigar o uso de quatro métodos de aquisição da estrutura externa do pavilhão auricular de uma voluntária (fotogrametria, escaneamento 3D, reconstrução 3D de imagens de tomografia computadorizada e modelagem 3D parametrizada) para a produção de moldes de prótese auricular por manufatura aditiva (técnica de deposição de material fundido). As próteses auriculares de silicone produzidas com esta metodologia apresentaram um excelente resultado estético com menos 3% de erro dimensional. Além disso, análises mecânicas (ensaios de resistência à tração e dureza) do silicone utilizado revelaram que as próteses produzidas apresentam ótima resistência mecânica que não é alterada pelo processo de pigmentação. Ensaios com pele suína mostraram que, dos quatro adesivos analisados, três apresentaram força de adesão satisfatória. Os resultados demonstram a viabilidade de uma metodologia acessível para a produção de próteses de orelhas utilizando softwares livres, tecnologias e suprimentos disponíveis no mercado brasileiro. / The auricular reconstruction is present since 600 BC through skin flaps implants. In the current years, prostheses have been developed to replace the patient's organ without the use of surgeries. Recently, new technologies, such as anatomical acquisition and additive manufacturing techniques are being applied in the production of auricular prostheses, aiming at obtaining a product with better cost/quality relation when compared to the manual manufacturing process. In this research, a methodology was developed to investigate the use of four methods to acquire the external structure of a volunteer's ear (photogrammetry, 3D scanning, 3D reconstruction of computed tomography images and parameterized 3D modeling) for the production of auricular prosthesis molds by additive manufacture (melt deposition technique). The silicone ear prosthesis produced with the presented methodology shows an excellent esthetic result with only 3% dimensional error. In addition, mechanical analysis (tensile strength and hardness tests) of the used silicone showed that the produced prostheses has excellent mechanical resistance that is not altered by the pigmentation process. Tests with swine skin showed that, of the four analyzed adhesives , three had satisfactory adhesion strength. The results demonstrate the feasibility of an accessible methodology for the production of ear prostheses using free softwares, technologies and supplies available in the Brazilian market.

The area is located in the southern part of the castle complex in Zdar, land in an urban zone. The original function of the castle in Zdar was a Cistercian monastery, founded 02.05.1252, which is credited with the expansion of the region. The castle is close to important UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pilgrimage church of the John of Nepomuk on the Green hill, which is a prerequisite for tourism in the region. The architectural design is based on the idea of recovery of unused buildings for the benefit of tourism on the one hand and on the other hand, it seeks to enrich local communities and the region. Suggest a feature builds on the newly created Museum of the new generation, which represents the potential of tourism. The draft proposal seeks to complete the missing and necessary functions in the area while trying to build on the tradition and the original object function.

Master’s thesis focuses on area of historic water reservoirs on Yellow Hill, situated between streets of Tomešova and Tvrdého. They continued to supply Brno with non-potable water until 1997 and TIC is currently looking for a new way to make water reservoirs accesable and more interesting to the general public. Due to the existence of underground reservoirs the site has remained undeveloped and is covered with dense greenery. Thanks to that, the character of the place is in the context of the surrounding build-up area very unique. The proposal not only respects that, but seeks to support it. The whole area is undergoing through new landscape design and is completed by three single-storey pavilions, which with their various functions ensure the operation of the site. The historic buildings that were used to manage the underground reservoirs are renovated and integrated into the operation of the site. An important part of the design is also the solution of barrier-free access to reservoirs, their interconnection and installation of optical device - the Camery Obscury in the oldest of the reservoirs. The whole place becomes more accesible and attractive for visitors.

The new pavilion of entrance into the Zoo Dvůr Králové nad Labem is inspired by African wildlife – the dorsum of zebra. The building contains the basic functions like the entry including box office and turnstile and the exhibition of little animals makeing the pleasant feelings for the entrance into the Zoo. There is a restaurant, multifunction areas, sanitary facilities and a standalone exit object with a Zoo shop.

The history of Mormon Exhibits in world expositions is an important chapter in the over-all accounting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints total missionary program. In seeking more proficient means for accomplishing this task, involvement in world expositions offered a fresh opportunity to which the Church quickly responded. Finances, inexperience, non-acceptance by the world religious community and struggle for security appeared to be significant obstacles to extensive activity in early world's fairs. Eventually as the Church strengthened, it became less the national spectacle and significantly was given its first real world's fair opportunity in an exhibit sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute at the 1909 exposition. The first totally religious Mormon exhibit was at Chicago in 1933 and the first Mormon pavilion was built for the 1935 San Diego Exposition. The Church has since sponsored five pavilions and has noted that from the standpoint of number of people influenced, compared to missionary man-hours expended, there has been no greater success experienced by the Church than in recent world fair involvements.

The diploma thesis is focused on the media reflection of the Czech pavilion from the recent EXPO in Czech and Italian print. The research sample comprised of 12 daily newspapers (Hospodářské noviny, Lidové noviny, Mladá fronta DNES, Právo, E15, Deník, Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, La Stampa, Il Giornale, Il Messaggero, Il Sole 24 Ore) that were monitored from 1. 3. 2015 until 30. 11. 2015. Firstly, the content analysis of 137 articles was performed on the individual level for both states. Subsequently, the media reflections in Czech and Italian print were compared to each other. The research found out for both countries that the highest number of media outputs was in May and that one particular journal was dominant in each country. On the contrary, the primary differentiation point was the extent of interest of the media outcomes. As the focus range of the articles differed (the Czech pavilion only in contrast to multiple national pavilions), other distinctions imply, such as the main subject of the articles or the most accented news values.

Esta dissertação tem como foco central o estudo de edifícios pavilhões e sua relação com a produção tridimensional - entendida como instalação e escultura. Para tanto, articula-se o conceito de \"campo ampliado\", elaborado por Rosalind Krauss em texto de 1979 para abarcar as transformações da escultura a partir dos anos 60, com seu recente deslocamento, para o âmbito da arquitetura por parte de alguns autores, nomeadamente Antony Vidler. A pesquisa não se resume apenas a uma investigação da contribuição do espaço arquitetônico para a escultura ou da escultura para a arquitetura, mas foca especialmente a linha que as separa, visto que a tendência de convergência das duas disciplinas faz com que seu elo de reciprocidade se dissolva numa produção intersticial, realizada por artistas, arquitetos ou mesmo por ambos em colaboração. O pavilhão sempre foi entendido como um campo experimental para os arquitetos, especialmente ao longo do século XX quando ajudou a consolidar as premissas da arquitetura moderna. Hoje, apresenta grande visibilidade através de diversos programas que oferecem condições únicas de encomenda e concepção pressupondo uma arquitetura singular, que configura uma produção desvinculada do binômio forma-função e cujo assunto autorreferente é a própria arquitetura. Do ponto de vista das artes o pavilhão representa uma expansão da instalação para um todo espacial que passa a envolver também o edifício e, quando tomado como meta arquitetura, opera também como plataforma de afrontamento crítico. O embate teórico acerca dos desdobramentos do \"campo ampliado\", bem como a investigação sobre aspectos essenciais do termo \"pavilhão\", de natureza maleável, são confrontados com uma análise crítica de casos selecionados em três instituições com características bem distintas- Bienal de Veneza, Instituto de Arte Contemporânea do Inhotim e Serpentine Gallery -, e possibilitam alinhavar conclusões sobre esta produção contemporânea no limiar dessas duas disciplinas. / This dissertation is focused on the study of pavilions and their relationship with the three-dimensional production - understood as installation and sculpture. Therefore, the concept of \"expanded field\", elaborated by Rosalind Krauss in the 1979 essay to encompass the transformation of sculpture from the 60\'s, is articulated with the recent shift of this same concept into the realm of architecture by some authors, namely Antony Vidler. The research is not just an investigation on the contribution of the architectural space for sculpture or, on the other hand, from sculpture to architecture, but focuses especially the line that separates them, understood as a disposition of convergence by the two disciplines which dissolves the reciprocal bonds in a interstitial production, performed by artists, architects or even both together. The pavilion has always been understood as an experimental field for architects, especially during the twentieth century when it helped consolidate the assumptions of modern architecture. Today it has gained great visibility through several programs that offer specific conditions by commissioning and assuming a unique architecture design that sets up a production untied from the binomial form-function, resulting in a self referent building whose subject is the architecture itself. From the point of view of the arts, it represents an expansion of the installation configuring a spatial whole that also implicate the building and, when taken as meta architecture, also operates as a platform for critical confrontation. The opposition on theory about the ramifications of the expanded field, as well as a research on the essential characteristics to a malleable term, are faced with a critical analysis of selected cases in three institutions gathering rather distinct characteristics - the Venice Biennale, the Institute of Contemporary Art Inhotim and the Serpentine Gallery -, and allow conclusions on this contemporary production in a disciplinary threshold.
