Après une période de construction scolaire en France, massive et industrialisée, depuis le début des années 1960, la monotonie architecturale et la qualité insuffisante des bâtis sont mises en cause, vers 1970, tandis qu’en villes nouvelles, les aménageurs recherchent des constructions différentes, voire exemplaires. Le défi à relever s’inscrit dans le cadre administratif et budgétaire, contraignant, du VIe Plan (1971-1975), mais aussi des recherches architecturales, liées aux efforts de rénovation pédagogique. Les trois premiers lycées construits dans les villes nouvelles de la région parisienne - en 1973, le lycée intégré des Sept Mares, à Élancourt-Maurepas, à Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, en 1975, le lycée du Parc des Loges à Évry, à espaces aménagés, et, en 1978, le lycée Alfred Kastler, à Cergy-Pontoise, face au quartier de la préfecture - représentent des avancées décisives dans une conception renouvelée des espaces scolaires. Une place particulière est accordée au secteur socio-culturel, à l’ouverture sur l’environnement et à la liaison ville-lycée, projet porteur aux Sept Mares d’utopie sociale, de 1975 à la fin des années 1980. / After a massive and industrialized period of school construction in France since the early 1960s, the architectural monotony and poor quality frames are challenged, circa 1970, while in new cities, developers are looking for different constructions or copies. The challenge is part of the binding administrative and budgetary framework of the Sixth Plan (1971-1975), but also a part of architectural research related to educational reform efforts. The first three schools built in new towns in the Paris region - in 1973, the integrated high school of les Sept Mares in Elancourt-Maurepas, in St-Quentin-en-Yvelines, in 1975, the high school of Parc des Loges with fitted out spaces, in Evry, in 1978 the high school Alfred Kastler, in Cergy-Pontoise, in front of the district prefecture - are breakthroughs in a renewed design school spaces. Particular attention is paid to the socio-cultural sector, the opening on the environment and the link between the city and the high school, promising project of social utopia in the Sept Mares, from 1975 to the late 1980s.

This research study addresses the issues associated with lost and wasted urban spaces. Lost and wasted spaces refer to areas which have no human activity or proper human interaction. They are the leftover unstructured landscape at the base of buildings. They also include abandoned buildings, waterfronts, train yards, vacated military sites, and industrial complexes. The research outlines the causes of lost and wasted urban spaces which occur within the eThekwini Municipality and urbanised spaces in general. Through the use of case studies and precedent studies, the research study investigates the various techniques, technological advances and approaches that could alleviate wasted spaces in the city. The Durban Esplanade and Point Waterfront development constitute the main case study areas; however, to fully understand how and why lost and wasted spaces occur within the urban environment, various other spaces which make up the cityscape were also investigated. For example, the city transport infrastructure and green spaces do not form part of the case studies, but have been included as part of the research into lost and wasted spaces. The research study seeks to take the issue of lost and wasted urban spaces a step further by combining it with issues related to sustainability. Through the use of the case studies, various possible solutions and alternatives to the alleviation of lost and wasted urban spaces are outlined and investigated. Examples of how lost and wasted urban spaces could be transformed from problem areas to spaces of opportunity are also explored. This was achieved by making use of computer-aided design and graphic illustrations to indicate the possible solutions that could form part of a holistic approach to the issues surrounding lost and wasted spaces in the built environment. The current planning legislation is outlined in order to provide a thorough understanding of the interconnection between environmental and sustainability issues which relate directly to the cause of lost and wasted spaces. Furthermore, the research study highlights the involvement of various built environment disciplines, including planners, architects and urban designers and investigates their role in the alleviation of lost and wasted urban space. / M.T.R.P.

This thesis examines the genesis, maintenance, and failure of rigid and exclusionary societal models present in William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Yi- Fu Tuan's analysis of the concepts space and place serves as the foundational theoretical framework by which human spatiality may be interpreted. Combining Tuan's observations and architectural analysis with Edouard Glissant's concepts of atavistic and composite societal models allows for a much broader consideration of various political ideologies present in the South. Following this, it becomes necessary to apply a postcolonial lens to areas of Faulkner's literature to examine how these societal models are upheld and the effects they have on characters in both Reconstruction and post- Reconstruction eras. Within Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner showcases an aspect of southern history that allowed this societal model to flourish, how this model affected those trapped within it, and its ultimate failure for future generations. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

[ES] Se pretende configurar un tipo de arquitectura planetaria cuya concepción se establezca en torno a la búsqueda de las necesidades del astronauta como ser humano. A la hora de planificar un recinto planetario, debe tenerse en cuenta cómo combinar la generación de estímulos positivos para acompañar a un astronauta durante una estancia prolongada en el espacio, siendo el propósito del recinto actuar como refugio, junto a otros factores relacionados con el desarrollo de la vida humana dentro de la estructura. Estas consideraciones nos llevan entonces a la humanización de la arquitectura espacial como uno de los objetivos propuestos en esta investigación. La idea es promover el desarrollo de la actividad humana en todas sus formas posibles, dentro de las expectativas que la comunidad científica tiene sobre el posible establecimiento de una colonia humana extraterrestre y tratar de demostrar la capacidad de la arquitectura planetaria una vez que ha sido pensada al servicio de la condición humana. El objetivo es establecer criterios y pautas para la proyección y materialización de hábitats planetarios destinados, entre otras, a contribuir en mantener a los astronautas en el mejor estado físico y emocional posible durante su estancia durante largos periodos de tiempo al interior de dichos hábitats, en función de condiciones de confort ambiental como la iluminación, térmicas, acústicas, materiales, forma y composición, y relación con otros espacios necesarios para un desarrollo favorable, así como protección frente a agentes nocivos externos. De esta manera, se busca el confort y la respuesta positiva de la salud del astronauta, utilizando la arquitectura planetaria para ser considerada de acuerdo con aquellos aspectos relacionados con la funcionalidad, la construcción fuera del entorno terrestre e incluso la forma. Una vez registradas las necesidades arquitectónicas para su conformación, se consideran los aspectos formales relacionados con el hábitat, particularmente el estudio de los materiales autóctonos y el emplazamiento, destacando la importancia de la geología en la arquitectura planetaria, dadas las implicaciones del regolito lunar y marciano en los hábitats naturales a colonizar. / [CA] Es pretén configurar un tipus d'arquitectura planetària la concepció de la qual s'establisca entorn de la cerca de les necessitats de l'astronauta com a ésser humà. A l'hora de planificar un recinte planetari, ha de tindre's en compte com combinar la generació d'estímuls positius per a acompanyar a un astronauta durant una estada prolongada en l'espai, sent el propòsit del recinte actuar com a refugi, al costat d'altres factors relacionats amb el desenvolupament de la vida humana dins de l'estructura. Estes consideracions ens porten llavors a la humanització de l'arquitectura espacial com un dels objectius proposats en esta investigació.

L'objectiu és establir criteris i pautes per a la projecció i materialització d'hàbitats planetaris destinats, entre altres, a contribuir a mantindre als astronautes en el millor estat físic i emocional possible durant la seua estada durant llargs períodes de temps a l'interior d'estos hàbitats, en funció de condicions de confort ambiental com la il·luminació, tèrmiques, acústiques, materials, forma i composició, i relació amb altres espais necessaris per a un desenvolupament favorable, així com protecció enfront d'agents nocius externs. D'esta manera, es busca el confort i la resposta positiva de la salut de l'astronauta, utilitzant l'arquitectura planetària per a ser considerada d'acord amb aquells aspectes relacionats amb la funcionalitat, la construcció fora de l'entorn terrestre i fins i tot la forma. Una vegada registrades les necessitats arquitectòniques per a la seua conformació, es consideren els aspectes formals relacionats amb l'hàbitat, particularment l'estudi dels materials autòctons i l'emplaçament, destacant la importància de la geologia en l'arquitectura planetària, donades les implicacions del *regolito lunar i marcià en els hàbitats naturals a colonitzar. / [EN] It is intended to configure a type of planetary architecture whose conception is established around the pursuit of the astronaut's needs as a human being. When planning a planetary enclosure, we must then take into consideration how to combine the generation of positive stimuli to accompany an astronaut during an extended stay, the purpose of the enclosure above all as a shelter, and other factors related to the ideal development of human life inside the structure. These considerations then lead us to the humanization of space architecture as one of the goals proposed in this research. The idea is to promote the development of human activity in all of its possible forms, within the expectations that the scientific community has about the possible establishment of an extra-terrestrial human colony and try to demonstrate the capacity of planetary architecture once it has been thought out in service of the human condition. The aim is to establish criteria and guidelines for the projection and materialization of planetary habitats specifically intended for the purpose, among others, of contributing to keeping the astronauts in the best possible physical and emotional state during their stay for long periods of time inside those habitats, based on environmental comfort conditions such as lighting, thermal, acoustic, material, form and composition, and relationship with other spaces necessary for favourable development, as well as protection against external harmful agents. In this way, we seek the comfort and positive response of the astronaut's health, using planetary architecture to be considered in accordance with those aspects related to functionality, construction outside the terrestrial environment and even form. Once the architectural needs for the conformation of the habitat have been recorded, we consider the formal aspects related to the habitat, particularly the study of indigenous material and the location itself, highlighting the importance of geology in planetary architecture, given the implications of the lunar and Martian regolith in the natural habitats to be colonized. / Eid-Macheh Sánchez, Y.

Various potential modes of interpreting the urban space in the inner city of Pretoria is evaluated in this study with the purpose of expanding discourse around spatial production in the city. Production of meaning through formal and structural means produced a city that served as administrative capital and ideological base for Afrikaners until the arrival of a democracy in 1994. The contemporary urban space is produced by people through everyday life, as theorised by Henry Lefebvre, rather than through formal means such as name changes. This study evaluates the way that identity and belonging is created by referring to everyday life practices, rhythmanalysis and daily activities as performances. Urban space is evaluated from a phenomenological perspective through the eyes of an artist and resident and expressed in an art exhibition. The way artists Julie Mehretu and Franz Ackermann dealt with urban space in their art is also referenced. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / Master of Visual Arts
