Architecture has been primarily ocularcentric for the last century. This thesis proposes a more sensible approach to architecture. A multisensory experience that gives the user a deeper response to the building. Architecture can activate and engage multiple senses through the revelation of nature such as: wind, light, and shadow. Architecture has the power to reveal the essence of nature and natural phenomena. It can also become a catalyst to help us understand nature and attain a deeper connection with it and ourselves. Through derived forms and attention to details, architects can capture the essence of nature without direct imitation. Architecture has always had the power to reveal. The architect must choose what is revealed. This thesis is an exploration into the idea of architecture as a revelation of nature in a specific climate, location, and context to allow the user to become more attuned to nature. Architecture can allow the users to explore and discover nature in a way that was previously ignored or overlooked, or perhaps it can reveal a phenomenon for the first time. Architecture can reveal nature through: orientation, material choices, form, function, openings, details, and spacing. Allowing natural phenomena to be a part of the design process creates a building attuned to nature. These revelations can occur with careful consideration to components, conditions, and details such as: wind, light, shadow, and structure. In order to achieve these, special consideration must be give to the tectonic and stereotomic construction. / Master of Architecture

My graduate thesis is a study of telluric and tectonic architecture. These two ideas inspired me to design a baseball stadium for the town of Blacksburg, Virginia that portrayed the contrasting concepts "of the earth" and "of the sky." / Master of Architecture

Orientador: Livia de Oliveira / Banca: Wenceslao Machado de Oliveira Júnior / Banca: Lucia Helena Batista Gratão / Resumo: A obra de João Cabral de Melo Neto é uma das mais significativas de nossa literatura. Sua concepção racional da poesia atribuía à própria materialidade dos objetos seu potencial poético. Para tanto, escrevia a partir da memória, sempre distante dos lugares temas de sua poesia. Para ele, esta era uma condição necessária à escrita, embora seus poemas não possuam um tom memorialista. A memória era entendida por ele como o material de onde a poesia poderia emergir e por isso Cabral fez uma obra com referências geográficas explícitas, de forma consciente. A forma como ele enraizou sua poesia e como esta atingiu a universalidade é objeto desta pesquisa, procurando em sua poética os traços que tornam sua obra o elogio da matéria, da espacialidade e da geograficidade, enquanto elementos intrínsecos da produção artística. "Morte e vida severina", seu poema mais conhecido, é tomado como eixo principal desta análise, a partir de suas imagens, metáforas e da própria poética cabralina. O rio Capibaribe é o caminho de Severino que emigra do sertão para Recife, promovendo uma transmutação entre homem-rio no seu caminho de morte e vida. A análise revela a importância do espaço telúrico, expressão da relação primitiva homem-meio, como a fonte de onde emerge a força imagética e metafórica da poesia. / Abstract: The work of João Cabral de Melo Neto is one of the most significant of our literature. His rational conception of poesy attributed to the own materiality of the objects his poetical potential. For this reason, he wrote from his memory, always far from the theme places of his poesy. It was for him a necessary condition to writing even though his poems do not possesses a memorializing tone. Memory was understood by him as the material where poesy could emerge, and for this reason, Cabral did a work with explicit geographical references in a conscientious form. The way that he established his poesy and how it reached universality is the object of this research, looking for in his poetics the traces that makes his work the eulogy of matter, of spatiality and of geographicity, while intrinsic elements of the artistically production. "Morte e Vida Severina", his most known poem, is taken as the main axle of this analysis starting from its images, metaphors and from the own Cabral's poetics. Capibaribe river is the path of Severino that emigrates from sertão to Recife, promoting a transmutation between man-river in his path of death and life. The analysis reveals the importance of telluric space, expression of primitive relation man-environment as the source from where emerges the imagery and metaphoric strength of the poesy. / Mestre

M dwarfs are abundant and long-lived stellar objects. The formation of planets around stars in stellar systems is believed to be metallicity dependent. To determine the metallicity with synthetic spectrum analysis, the elements producing the absorption lines ofthe spectra first have to be identified. The aim of this thesis is to identify and list the elements or molecules that produce the absorption lines in the spectra of Barnard's star. This thesis was done at the Division for Astronomy and Space Physics at Uppsala University. High resolution infrared spectral data recorded in the J band 1.1–1.4 μm was downloaded from the CRIRES-POP database. The data had to be wavelength corrected due to the effects of Doppler shift. A modified IDL program was used to read the data files,normalize the flux to unity and plot the spectra. This procedure was also done with the telluric spectra using data from a solar flux atlas. The IDL program plotted the normalized spectra together in the same plot. With this procedure the absorption features originating from the earth’s atmosphere could be identified and discarded. The analysis of the spectral lines resulted in wavelength values which were tested against the VALD3 database to determine what elements were possibly responsible for the absorption features. The results are presented in a line list. It can be used with other software programs to determine the metallicity. The identified elements and molecules agrees in part with earlier measurements of stellar spectra from M dwarf stars except for a number of lines where no matching elements were found in the VALD3 database. A line list with possible elements in the photosphere of Barnard’s star can be constructed from the spectra using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. / M dvärgstjärnor är de mest förekommande stjärnorna i vår galax. De har en mycket långlivslängd, vissa tusen gånger längre än vår sol. Det finns teorier om att planetbildning runt stjärnor styrs av halten av ämnen som inte är väte eller helium. Denna halt kallas metallicitet. För att på konstgjord eller syntetisk väg bestämma metalliciteten i Barnard’s stjärna, en M dvärg, behöver de ämnen som bidrar till absorptionslinjerna i fotosfären först identifieras. Målsättningen med detta arbete var att identifiera de grundämnen och eventuella molekyler som skapar absorptionslinjerna i spektrumet till Barnard’s stjärna. Detta arbete utfördes på institutionen för fysik och astronomi. Metoden använde ett modifierat IDL program för att läsa och plotta data. Högupplöst infraröd spektraldata från Jbandet (1.1–1.4 μm) till Barnard’s stjärna hämtades från CRIRES-POP databasen och data för det telluriska spektrumet från en databas med telluriska linjer. Därefter plottades de samtidigt i ett våglängdsöverlappande normaliserat spektra. I programmet gick absorptionslinjer som inte hade sitt ursprung i jordens atmosfär att urskilja manuellt. Då våglängderna för absorptionlinjerna bestämts, matades värden in i databasen VALD3. Analysen av de returnerade värdena från VALD3 genererade en resultatlista med de mest sannolika elementen för de olika absorptionsvåglängderna. Resultatlistan kan användas som ingångsvärde till program som syntetiskt beräknar metalliciteten. Resultaten överensstämmer till viss del med tidigare mätningar. Slutsatsen är att metoden med högupplöst infraröd spektral data kan användas för att bestämma en lista med element och molekyler från fotosfären i Barnard’s stjärna.
