Thesis (M.Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Bibliography: leaves 162-164. / This thesis develops the master plan, urban design guidelines, and housing models for two of the residential sections of Westway, New York City -- a 178 acre landfill project proposed for Manhattan' s Hudson River shore. The thesis also makes suggestions for the design and uses of the waterfront parks and open spaces adjacent to the residential areas. The thesis' s designs are developed with concern for making Westway appropriate for its waterfront site and urban context; expressive of a world-city meeting the water; and accommodating to the broad cross-section of people who can be expected to live in the project. The author's design methodology -- consisting of the analysis and synthesis of elements of New York City's residential tradition; principles of Modern housing design; and waterfront precedents established in New York City and in cities abroad -- forms the basis of an approach to the design of cities and their extensions which is presented in the conclusion. / by Roy Strickland. / M.Arch.
