Master of Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning
Howard D. Hahn
Landscape architecture education in schools have been focused primarily on elementary and secondary Common Core courses. In many states, career-oriented programs such as agricultural education serve as a platform to teach necessary skills to be successful in all aspects of the agricultural industry. With the shift in lifestyles and technology, agricultural education (Ag-Ed) today has branched out from the traditional farm management courses to food science, natural resources, and landscaping design as well as many others. At schools like Lennox High School in Lennox, South Dakota, students learn plant identification, fundamentals of landscape design, and design graphics. How comprehensive are students' awareness of the landscape architecture profession before, during, and after taking a landscaping course? What are the possibilities of reinforcing foundational skills learned in the landscaping coursework through an outdoor learning environment similar to practical application of other vocational-type courses? How could students be presented a snapshot of the landscape architecture profession that connects the current and future curriculum taught in the Ag-Ed classroom? In order to better understand the landscape architectural aspects of current Ag-Ed, a mixed methods approach was used. First, national, state, and local Ag-Ed curricula standards were reviewed to track how Ag-Ed courses and priorities have changed over time. Next, Ag-Ed students were surveyed before, during, and after taking the Landscaping and Horticultural course offered at Lennox High School to assess potential changes in awareness. Lastly, students currently taking the landscaping course participated in a three-day workshop where they developed ideas for their outdoor learning environment to support current and future Ag-Ed courses and landscape architecture. After the workshop, these students took a post-survey to evaluate ideas produced in the workshop, the future implementation of the workshop, and their level of awareness of the landscape architecture profession. Results from the surveys and workshop show a refinement and increase in landscape architecture awareness, a desire for more hands-on learning conducted outside, and an enthusiasm for using their creativity to design a project for future Ag-Ed students. In subsequent years, future iterations of the workshop will advance planning and design proposals toward implementation.

Limited development offers the hope of turning market development pressure which threatens open land into a means for financing its protection. In theory, the profit from developing a small portion of a parcel can be used to subsidize the protection of the remainder. This thesis critically examines the financial, institutional, and agricultural effectiveness of limited development as a tool for protecting farmland. An alternative accounting methodology is proposed which expresses cash flows as sources and uses of subsidies for the support of non-market land uses, allowing comparison of limited development and traditional tools for financing land conservation. The model also attempts to determine the extent to which limited development profits are due to enhancement of development land value by the restriction of adjacent open space, market appreciation in real estate prices, and deal-making and subdivision of land. The model assumes the perspective of a non-profit limited developer. The model is then applied to three Massachusetts case studies of farmland preservation through limited development. The agricultural viability of the protected farmland is briefly examined in each case study. The thesis concludes that limited development often provides only a minor supplement to public subsidy programs and private contributions in the protection of farmland, although it can supply significant subsidies in some cases. Furthermore, limited development can put a non-profit into the awkward and risky role of a for-profit developer. Agriculturally, limited development leaves small farm parcels adjacent to residential use. While not ideal, such a pattern is typical of metropolitan areas, and one to which some farmers have successfully adapted.

Abstract:
Creating sustainable urban landscapes in light of growing population pressures requires interdisciplinary multi-functional solutions. Alternative agro-ecosystems described as food forests, permaculture gardens, and/or edible landscapes among others could offer potential ways to address the social, economic and ecological goals of various stakeholders simultaneously. The present research used a unique rubric, the Permaculture and Agro-ecosystems Sustainability Scorecard (PASS) that combines existing agricultural and landscape sustainability indicators in order to assess alternative agro-ecosystems. The rubric evaluates provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural ecosystem services such as pollinator presence, biodiversity, pesticides and fertilizer use, carbon sequestration and human interactions. The PASS was used to score twelve sites in South Florida that meet specific criteria in the small farm, residential and public space categories. The results showed that the majority of the sites scored highest in the supporting services provided, followed by regulating and cultural services and lowest in the economic services category.

Abstract:
L'effet de deux méthodes de conduite contrastées (Central Leader vs. Conduite Centrifuge) est étudié sur trois cultivars de pommiers architecturalement distincts ; 'Scarletspur Delicious' , 'Golden Delicious' et 'Granny Smith'. Les arbres sont digitalisés en 3D en utilisant un outil électromagnétique à l'échelle des pousses deux fois en cours de première année et avant la récolte en deuxième année. Les pousses sont décrites et classifiées selon leur longueur et leur typologie (fructifères vs. Végétatives). Le bois porteur est également décrit en deuxième année en mettant l'accent sur la stratégie de taille (bois porteur taillé vs. Non taillé). Des expérimentations virtuelles sont réalisées à travers la reconstruction du feuillage, la création de maquettes 3D et la simulation de l'interception de la lumière, à l'échelle de l'arbre, des types de pousses et des pousses individuelles. Un modèle simplifié pour l'estimation de l'interception de la lumière par les arbres isolés est proposé, en utilisant des paramètres de structure du feuillage. La démographie et la séquence des pousses sont principalement affectées par le cultivar, avec une faible influence du mode de conduite. Une tendance similaire est observée à l'échelle de l'arbre pour les paramètres de structure du feuillage et de la lumière. La distribution spatiale des pousses et la densité de surface foliaire se différencient selon le mode de conduite. 'Scarletspur Delicious' est un arbre de forme réduite et compacte par rapport aux deux autres cultivars qui possèdent des arbres plus ouverts et plus grands. L'effet des systèmes de conduite se traduit par une plus grande proportion de pousses végétatives longues et réitérées (R-LVS) sur les arbres en Central Leader. Ces derniers présentent une distribution hétérogène de la surface foliaire et de l'interception de la lumière des deux types de pousses causées par les R-LVS qui augmentent l'ombrage mutuel des pousses. Ces différences varient en fonction des cultivars et sont plus tranchées chez Granny Smith. Les paramètres étudiés montrent que le système de conduite pourrait avoir un impact direct sur le développement et le positionnement spatial des pousses. Ceci affecte notablement la floraison et la production, même si la croissance et la structure de l'arbre dépendent essentiellement du cultivar

Abstract:
Lantbruksbyggnader sätter stor prägel på den svenska landsbygden och utseendet på de äldre lantbruksbyggnaderna uppskattas av många, men vad är det som utmärker dessa byggnaderna? Syftet med denna undersökning är att identifiera vilka arkitektoniska kvaliteter som utmärker äldre lantbruksbyggnader med avgränsning till Södermanland. Denna kunskap ska sedan omsättas i ett gestaltningsförslag på ett litet gårdscentra i Södermanland för att ge exempel på hur de arkitektoniska kvaliteterna kan nyttjas och framhävas för att skapa attraktiva lantbruksbyggnader som bygger vidare på traditionen. En litteraturstudie genomfördes för att kartlägga tidigare forskning och kunskap relevant till ämnet. Tre exempel på mindre gårdar med någon form av medvetet arkitektoniskt inslag valdes ut för en fallstudie, som gav undersökningen exempel på samtida problem och lösningar. Fallstudierna utfördes genom studiebesök på gården och intervju med ägaren samt med arkitekten bakom byggnaderna. Utifrån analys av litteraturstudien och fallstudierna sattes resultatet samman i en syntes för att identifiera arkitektoniska kvaliteter hos lantbruksbyggnader. Syftet med gestaltningsförslaget är att ge ett exempel på hur resultatet kan användas i konceptutvecklingen av ett nytt litet gårdscentra. Ur litteraturstudien och fallstudierna identifierades 9 arkitektoniska kvaliteter via syntesen. Dessa arkitektoniska kvaliteter är: ”Starkt förhållande till omgivningen”, ”I ett sammanhang”, ”Harmoni”, ”Bra skydd”, ”Ärlig konstruktion”, ”Mänsklig koppling”, ”Vackert åldrande”, ”Livfullhet” och ”Historiskt värde”. Inför gestaltningsförslaget gjordes ett studiebesök och en intervju med beställarna följt av platsanalys för att fastställa förutsättningar, behov och önskemål i det specifika fallet. Utifrån litteraturstudien identifierades även metoder för analys och konceptutveckling, vilka tillsammans med förutsättningarna och syntesen låg till grund för konceptutvecklingen, som sedan ledde fram till ett gestaltningsförslag där de arkitektoniska kvaliteterna är tagna i beaktning. Slutsatsen av arbetet är att det finns många arkitektoniska kvaliteter att ta hänsyn till i utformningen av lantbruksbyggnader och det finns enkla verktyg och metoder att använda för att förstärka dessa arkitektoniska kvaliteter.
Agricultural buildings are a distinctive feature of the Swedish countryside and the appearance of the older agricultural buildings are appreciated by many, but what is it that distinguishes these buildings? The purpose of this study is to identify the architectural qualities that characterize older agricultural buildings in Södermanland. This knowledge will then be translated into a design proposal for a small farm center in Södermanland to give examples of how the architectural qualities can be used to create attractive agricultural buildings based on tradition.  A literature study was conducted to map previous research and knowledge relevant to the subject. Three examples of smaller farms with some form of conscious architectural element were selected for a case study, which gave the study examples of contemporary problems and solutions. The case studies were carried out through study visits to the farms and interviews with the owner and with the architect behind the buildings. Based on an analysis of the literature study and the case studies, the results were put together in a synthesis to identify architectural qualities of agricultural buildings. The purpose of the design proposal is to provide an example of how the results can be used in the concept development of a new small farm centers. From the literature study and the case studies, 9 architectural qualities were identified via the synthesis. These architectural qualities are: "Strong relationship with the environment", "In a context", "Harmony", "Good protection", "Honest construction", "Human connection", "Beautiful aging", "Liveliness" and "Historical value". Prior to the design proposal, a study visit and an interview with the clients were made, followed by an site analysis to determine the conditions, needs and wishes in the specific case. Based on the literature study, methods for analysis and concept development were also identified, which together with the conditions and synthesis formed the basis for the concept development, which then led to a design proposal where the architectural qualities were taken into account.  The conclusion of the work is that there are many architectural qualities to take into account in the design of agricultural buildings and there are simple tools and methods to use to strengthen these architectural qualities.

Abstract:
Purpose of the project was to create a centre of the wine culture that would represent south Moravian viniculture not only all over the country, but abroad as well. It will become the connection point between wine makers and public. The building will offer the full support for the wine makers - promotions, conferences, modern technological equipment. The guests will be able to experience wine in all posssible ways - as a drink, as a form of meeting each other, in wellness. There will be a lot of events taking place, so the wine center is highly used in all seasons of the year. The architecure of the building is trying to integrate to the landscape in a very sensitive way, the human dimension was the most important factor in designing. The main part of the building was situated under the groud so the temperature for the winemaking processes is very still. On the opposite site - in the public part - the building is opening to the nature and gives the magnificent view of the Palava hills and the dams of Nove Mlyny. The building was designed in the most ecological way possible - it uses the rainwater for the processes, there is a sewerage plant based on the biological root principe and the energy for the heating and cooling system of the building is taken from the ground by the heat pump.

Abstract:
The modern dichotomy between the urban and the rural is increasingly affected by the superimposition of urbanisation processes on the rural landscape, usually contributing to the disappearance of the agricultural heritage. Thanks to a high degree of awareness towards the necessity of natural capitals in human life, today the interdependence between man and nature is progressively becoming of fundamental importance. Contemporary issues related to urban overgrowth, food supply and depletion of material resources increase the necessity for urban planning processes in rural areas to apply principles of integration with the existing context. It becomes the role of contemporary urban planners to carefully manage the natural capital and develop urban sustainable strategies to fulfill human needs in the respect of the eco-system.Particularly, this thesis investigates the controversial relationship between the urban and the rural in the case study of Cortijo de Cuarto in Seville, rural area in the southern suburb of the Spanish city currently subjected to traditional urbanisation processes of urban sprawling.The focus will be to highlight the potentiality of this land as agricultural heritage and propose a development strategy based on three hubs of transition from the urban to the rural landscape, looking at the features of the local context toward the preservation and valorisation of its identity. Therefore, AgriI-Cultura Urbana stands out as an urban development program that looks at agriculture as a landscape experience from a social, economic and environmental point of view, enhancing a culture of integration between local agricultural activities and urbanisation programs, taking into consideration the benefits of both citizens and the environment.

Out of extensive examination and critique of the industrialized food systems and infrastructures of the 20th century, a social movement has taken off to become a revolution in the last year and a half. Tied to a wide range of topics including health care, economic security, sustainable energy and climate change, food systems have become a keystone issue in imagining a societal paradigm shift for the next century. The good food movement leads the way in this shift, but as yet does not have a recognizable physical form. Inspired by the public nature of this movement and the potential for unique, atmospheric spaces required for food production-- humid, earthy, lush-- this thesis proposes that a new kind of architecture is possible and required in order to collect the historically decentralized activities of urban food production, distribution, consumption and education into one central home, The Urban Farmhouse. Through the development of this new multi-functional space, the movement will also become a place. With an interactive voice and a political face manifest through the interweaving of program and climates, this place will become a new civic building type, one that acts as a measure against monocultures of all kinds, and gathers people around their common need for sustenance-- and pleasure.

Abstract:
Cities within California are beginning to incorporate urban agriculture into their land use designations. Prompted by residents and local organizations, cities are hoping to capture the benefits that urban agriculture provides. Research has shown that urban agriculture renews and beautifies neighborhoods, provides healthy food choices, increases public health, has the potential to help with stormwater runoff, creates jobs, and fosters community. In the last few years, several California cities have made headlines as they have adopted new zoning codes that include urban agriculture. In reviewing these new zoning codes and exploring the topic of urban agriculture, it became evident that just because an urban farm was small, organic and provided certain benefits that it was not free from impacting its surroundings. As more urban agricultural ventures are established within cities, planners have to carefully consider their effect. One such impact could be stormwater pollution. There is insufficient research to determine whether there is a relationship between urban agriculture and stormwater, however, studies on conventional agriculture and urban landscaping (mainly urban lawns) show that each of these areas pollute the local water bodies with sediment, chemicals, and nutrients. Is urban agriculture different? This thesis utilizes two case studies within California, the City of Oakland and the City of San Diego, to examine the similarities and differences between each city’s urban agriculture ordinances and evaluate whether or not the cities have adjusted stormwater requirements in parallel with these ordinances. Interview responses and site visits in each city were analyzed and compared to expound upon the approaches each city engaged. Using the collected data and analysis as a base, a set of guidelines was created for managing stormwater runoff from urban agriculture.

Full text
Abstract:
L'optimisation de la biomasse produite par les taillis à courte rotation de peupliers représente un enjeu majeur pour la production de biocarburants de deuxième génération. Dans ce contexte, ce travail vise à faciliter le développement à court terme de nouvelles variétés clonales de peuplier permettant la production d'une ressource de qualité en s'intéressant plus particulièrement à l'architecture génétique de la résistance à la rouille foliaire et de la qualité du bois chez le peuplier noir (Populus nigra), espèce parente des hybrides cultivés. Des marqueurs SNP ont été développés à partir du séquençage de 665 fragments de gènes dans un panel de 21 individus. Ces derniers ont été associés à des marqueurs SSR et AFLP pour construire de nouvelles cartes génétiques sur une famille de 324 plein-frères clonés. Une technique de phénotypage à haut débit basée sur la spectrométrie à proche infrarouge a été développée pour prédire les teneurs en composés chimiques du bois ainsi que le rendement en saccharification. La mise en évidence d'une variabilité génétique importante pour l'ensemble des caractères a permis de cartographier les régions génomiques impliquées dans leur variation. Parmi les 11 QTL détectés pour la résistance, un QTL à effet majeur co-localise avec un QTL majeur associé à la résistance à la rouille foliaire du saule. Pour la qualité du bois, 15 QTL à effet faible à moyen ont été détectés, dont un cartographié sur le chromosome XIII qui colocalise avec des QTL précédemment identifiés chez le peuplier pour les teneurs en sucres et en lignines. Ce travail de thèse ouvre des perspectives d'identification de gènes sous-jacents aux QTL par génétique d'association.

Abstract:
Avanços positivos nas pesquisas em veículos agrícolas autônomos (VAA\'s) e de robôs agrícolas móveis (RAM\'s) têm sido conquistados nos últimos anos. Entretanto, um número limitado de trabalhos tem proposto sistemas robustos baseados em arquiteturas robóticas capazes de realizar operações múltiplas e idependentes, bem como adaptar-se às mudanças ambientais no campo. Por outro lado, em outras áreas de pesquisa, um número representativo de arquiteturas baseadas em comportamentos tem sido proposto para guiagem e para navegação autônomas de robôs móveis em ambientes não estruturados e/ou não explorados. No presente trabalho, uma arquitetura robótica baseada em comportamentos é desenvolvida para guiagem e navegação de RAM\'s e VAA\'s. Regras difusas são utilizadas para compor e coordenar comportamentos primitivos e comportamentos complexos. O desenvolvimento inclui: a implementação e a simulação da arquitetura em um mini-robô; a avaliação e a caracterização de sensores para o módulo perceptivo da arquitetura; e a aplicação de um método de análise baseado em um modelo matemático para auxiliar a composição de uma rede de comunicação digital baseada no protocolo CAN para sistemas de controle robóticos. Experimentos foram realizados para avaliar os comportamentos implementados e para avaliar a capacidade de operação da plataforma robótica em um ambiente agrícola simulado. Os resultados mostraram a viabilidade da abordagem proposta. A modularidade da arquitetura com a utilização de controladores difusos descentralizados simplificou a implementação da arquitetura. O processo de arbitragem difuso mostrou-se um método simples e viável para implementar a coordenação de comportamentos e para compor comportamentos complexos. A avaliação e caracterização de sensores, em especial de um sensor ultrassônico, permitiram a determinação de condições operacionais para a utilização desses sensores em VAA\'s ou em RAM\'s. A aplicação do modelo matemático para a rede permitiu a análise de desempenho da rede CAN para diferentes equipamentos e sob diferentes parâmetros de configuração para aplicação em um RAM.
Positive advances on AVV (Agricultural Autonomous Vehicle) and MAR (Mobile Agricultural Robot) research are noticed in recent years. However, a limited number of works have proposed reliable systems based on a robotic architectures that are able to perform multiple and independent operations, as well as to self-adapt under changing environmental conditions in the field. In other hand, in other research areas a considerable number of behavior-based architectures have been proposed for mobile robot for autonomous guidance and navigation in unstructured and/or in unexplored environments. At this work, a robotic behavior-based architecture is developed for guidance and navigation of AAV and MAR. Fuzzy rules are used to compose and coordinate the primitive and the complex behaviors. The development includes: the implementation and the simulation of the proposed architecture on a mini-robot; the evaluation and characterization of sensors for the perceptive module of the architecture; and the application of an analysis method based on a mathematical model to assist the composition of a digital communication networks based on the CAN protocol for robot control systems. Experiments have been performed to evaluate the implemented behaviors and to evaluate the operation ability of the robotic platform on a simulated agricultural environment. The results show the feasibility of the proposed approach. The modularity of the architecture by using decentralized fuzzy controllers simplifies the implementation of the robotic architecture. The fuzzy arbitration process is an easy and a feasible method to implement the behavior coordination and to compose complex behaviors. The sensors evaluation and characterization, in particular of an ultrasonic sensor, have allowed establishing operational conditions for using them in AAV or in a MAR. The application of the network mathematical model has allowed the performance analysis of the CAN-based networks under differentiated equipment and configuration parameters for applications in a MAR.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.
Com o desenvolvimento e a centralização dos serviços nas cidades o abandono do meio rural foi grande e despovoou o interior de Portugal, em favor do litoral. No Algarve, esse fenómeno foi potenciado pelo desenvolvimento turístico e crescimento da indústria do “sol e praia”. O território do interior ficou ao abandono pois a população fugia do trabalho rigoroso do campo em busca de melhores condições de vida na cidade. Com o avanço tecnológico e a utilização de máquinas na agricultura agilizaram-se processos agrícolas e desenvolveram-se novas formas de trabalhar, o que minimizou, em parte, os efeitos negativos deste êxodo. No Algarve o problema mantém-se. A maioria da população vive no litoral e trabalha no sector terciário; a população que vive no interior trabalha na agricultura e não consegue valorizar suficientemente os seus produtos agrícolas tradicionais. Falta organização aos produtores, formação e conhecimento para que se unam e desenvolvam em conjunto uma valorização do que produzem. Os produtos são vendidos em bruto, sem qualquer tipo de transformação, e dessa forma não é possível obter maiores lucros e atividades financeiramente sustentáveis. Este projeto pretende ajudar a criar no interior algarvio uma cooperativa de produtores locais que explorem algumas das riquezas da produção local: o medronho, o mel, e as ervas aromáticas. A cooperativa seria um contributo para o desenvolvimento do território e iria atrair população para trabalhar e permanecer no local, funcionando ligada a um centro interpretativo de valorização do interior algarvio, para que existisse uma relação próxima e esclarecida entre ambiente, produto, produtor e consumidor. Foi escolhida a aldeia do Talurdo, no concelho de Silves, pela sua localização geográfica interior e próxima dessas matérias-primas, pela existência de habitações e rede elétrica, e pela proximidade de pequenos produtores instalados. O presente estudo terminará com uma estratégia de reocupação e desenvolvimento local que possa conferir à aldeia do Talurdo um programa adequado, sustentável do ponto de vista histórico-cultural, arquitetónico, ambiental e, sempre importante e decisivo, economicamente viável.
ABSTRACT: The present work intends to think, question and act on the rurality of the Algarve’s countryside, more accurately on the village of Talurdo, in the municipality of Silves. It’s done, in this sense, an extensive analysis of the Algarve’s region involving his geographic, demographic, economic and architectonic characteristics. We approach the region that, until the proclamation of the republic, was considered as the second kingdom of the Portuguese crown (King of Portugal and Algarve’s). This region rely on a vast sand area, possessing extensive beaches and a mild climate, which has promoted an appropriation of the coast on the part of the fishing, canning and hotel activities. Nowadays the region of Algarve works as a touristic stop for the rest of the country, seizing specially the coast area, raising little awareness about the cultural reality and most genuine traditions. The Algarve’s Countryside was left to oblivion and abandonment, without investment in the improvement of infrastructures and in the quality of life of the population, much smaller in comparison with the seaside (they had no access to basic sanitation, electricity…). Silves is the second biggest municipality of the Algarve, accomodating the coastline (Pêra e Armação de pêra) the “barrocal” area (Alcantarilha, Algoz, Silves e Tunes), and the mountains (S. Bartolomeu de Messines e S. Marcos da Serra). Silves is a historical city that developed around it’s strategic geographic location. It’s placed on the limit between “barrocal” and the mountains, on the top of a hill with sight to the sea and all the Arade’s riverbed (formerly navigable). The city was occupied by Romans, Visigoths and Muslims, responsible for it’s development and fortification. The village of Talurdo it’s located in the municipality of Silves, in the road that connects Silves to S. Marcos da Serra and crosses the mountainous area of Silves (municipal 502). This track is characterized by twists and turns, ascents and descents that offer panoramic views of the Algarve’s Interior.

Abstract:
Humankind has lived on earth for a geologically brief time. Our species has proven a remarkable ability to adapt to our environment through the development and use of tools and technology. Little evidence suggests when our need to tame nature took hold in our collective cultural consciousness, yet throughout western history, human needs and activities have been perceived as separate from the natural world. We stand at the beginning of a new millennium, aware of the cycles which govern the flows of life on our planet, yet far from understanding the specifics of how they work. This building, an Institute for Urban Agriculture, seeks to challenge that notion of separation. The design expresses architecturally the ways in which the technological systems and organic systems work together to sustain the mission of the Institute. Through every aspect of the building design, the perceived separation of those systems is woven together to express an holistic view of the building as a fully integrated system. Human intervention is a necessary part of a healthy urban ecosystem, and positive relationships with the natural world contribute to the qualities of human health. Inspired by careful observation and experience of the surrounding urban landscape, this design recognizes those interactions and builds upon their social, ecological and economic values. Architecture becomes the medium for communicating transformed ideas about our relationships with the natural world to the building inhabitants and to the public at large.

Over the past few decades, the industrialization of food has become increasingly influenced by the consolidation of its controlling corporations. This consolidation has isolated meat processing facilities from small farmers, favoring corporations who have built enormous processing facilities to match their demand. Given that the consumption of beef has leveled out in the past few decades, the environmental costs of producing enough beef to meet demand continue to rise. Factory farming transforms huge tracts of land into wastelands of polluted land, and cultivates animals in unsanitary conditions. The centralization of major farming, packing, and processing facilities has left more distant, more environmentally conscious farmers to struggle with the economics of profit margins. This thesis proposes is a new model of industrial facility that can transition with changes in the industry as it moves towards a coop model from an industrial model. Its urban location pits private and public against each other in conditions that force them to negotiate a truce.

Abstract:
Hanoï, comme les autres villes asiatiques, est en train de faire face aux conséquences de l'urbanisation rapide. Les expériences des villes du monde nous montrent que l’agriculture urbaine est une solution efficace et durable pour les villes futures. Ce phénomène nous a donné une nouvelle façon de penser la ville qui n'est pas "non-agricole" comme les définitions traditionnelles. La transformation de l'agriculture urbaine à l'urb-agriculture, sera une nouvelle méthode de design des villes durables. Cette méthode de design doit être basée sur les ressources humaines et des connaissances de l'écologie urbaine. Actuellement à Hanoi, les espaces de micro agriculture urbaine s’installent spontanément et fonctionnent comme des activités d'auto alimentaire, de complément économique pour les foyers urbains. Pour développer durablement des espaces agricoles dans la ville de Hanoi, nous avons besoin de créer les systèmes complexes et bien connectés sur plusieurs échelles des espaces, en mettant en valeur des ressources naturelles et humaines qui sont les points fortes de la ville. Ensuite, dans la planification de Hanoï en 2030, la vision jusqu'à 2050, un des enjeux les plus importants est la structure de corridor et ceinture verte où se sont développés de façon équilibrée les éléments technologiques, historiques, culturels et naturels, vers l'image d'une ville verte. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous pensons à exploiter nos ressources et nos points forts d'une application du design de l'urb-agriculture pour cette structure verte. En effet, l'agriculture peut contribue directement au paysage, en créant l'image symbolique d'une ville verte. Cette méthode de design deviendra donc une solution raisonnable et réalisable pour Hanoï et les autres villes vietnamiennes
Hanoi, like another Asian cities, have the consequences of rapid urbanization. To satisfy the growing needs of housing, employment, urban services, planning needs important financial sources, currently limited, or a change in the way of thinking and in the methods of urban design. The experiences of cities around the world show us that urban agriculture is an effective and sustainable solution for future cities. This phenomenon has given us a new way of thinking about the city that is not "non-agricultural" as the traditional definitions. The transformation of urban agriculture into “urb-agriculture” will be a new method of designing sustainable cities. This method of design must be based on human resources and knowledge of urban ecology. In Hanoi, the micro-urban-agricultural land settle spontaneously and function as self-food activities or as an economic complement for urban families. To develop sustainably agricultural areas in Hanoi City, we need to create complex and well connected systems of urban-agricultural land on several scales, highlighting the natural and human resources that are the strong points of the city. Then, in the planning of Hanoi in 2030, the vision until 2050, one of the most important issues is structure of the “ green corridor” and “green belt”, where the technological, historical, cultural and natural elements will be developed in a balanced way, towards Image of a “green city”. This is why we intend to exploit our resources and our strengths from an application of the urban agriculture design (urb-agriculture) for this green structure. Indeed, agriculture will contribute directly to the symbolic image of a “green city”. In these green cities, we will build a lasting relationship between humans and nature, an ecological, sustainable and intelligent living with environment. This method of design will become a reasonable and feasible solution for Hanoi and other Vietnamese cities

As manifestações da arquitetura neocolonial em várias cidades do interior paulista, no período de 1920 a 1950, é o tema central desta tese. Realiza pesquisas e reflexões acerca da ascendência do movimento neocolonial, tomando Ricardo Severo como intelectual que recebeu grande influência do ambiente cultural português. Explora a ocorrência dessa arquitetura na esfera institucional e particular, em obras oficiais, institucionais, religiosas, assistenciais, educativas, recreativas, residenciais e comerciais. Verifica que a difusão se deu, em grande medida, pela atuação de profissionais que estavam em contato com os debates que se desenrolavam na capital paulista e pela implantação de obras emblemáticas em cidades do interior do estado. Verifica também que parte significativa da produção de baixo padrão - ou simplificada - da arquitetura que pretendia expressar a tendência neocolonial foi de responsabilidade de profissionais diplomados. Utiliza o método de levantamento de processos de aprovação de obras, arquivados em prefeituras municipais, levantamento de dados em museus e outras instituições e levantamentos fotográficos para registrar e analisar a produção de interesse. Representa uma contribuição para o conhecimento da arquitetura neocolonial fora da capital paulista.
This thesis investigates expressions of the neo-colonial architecture, in several cities within the State of São Paulo during the period of 1920 to 1950. The research takes into account the intellectual influence of Ricardo Severo in the rise of neo-colonial movement, nevertheless inspired by the portuguese cultural atmosphere. The diffusion of this architectural style is explored through private exemplars, such as homes, offices and shops along with institutional materializations; public and religious buildings, schools, social welfare bureaus and recreational facilities. The research reveals a link between the hinterland spread of this architecture, empowered by a symbolic drive, and the effort of professionals that were in contact with the intellectual debates taking place at the State capital. By analysing the construction licenses approved by Municipal Halls, we have verified that a significant part of the simplified and low standard production was made under certified professionals\' responsibility. In addition, we have expanded the investigation by data collected in museums and other institutions plus photographic surveys to record and analyse this architectonic production. This thesis represents a contribution to the comprehension of the neocolonial architecture outside the city of São Paulo.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-109).
This thesis investigates possible conversions of an increasingly unviable type of irrigated agricultural landscape, seen under the influences of three simultaneous processes: urban growth, change of cropping practice and return to the desert. Three new prototypical models are designed and tested: an urban-rural oasis, an adapted rural settlement and an inhabited desert park. An analysis of historical hydrological alteration and agrarian/urban settlement processes in the Colorado River Lower Basin focuses on a region in a pivotal situation: Central Arizona and its agricultural irrigation districts. Here, the three models are tested on a hypothetical site of one square mile and simultaneously investigated in an abstract matrix of regionally applicable principles. In an increasing order, the urbanrural oasis, the adapted rural settlement, and the inhabited desert park reduce water needs by rainwater harvesting/-storage and greywater re-use. They are resilient towards droughts by allowing farmers to temporarily fallow agricultural elements, or, in the case of the desert park, by hosting partially seasonal uses and importing drinking water as necessary. The urban-rural oasis relies on a localized form of agriculture that allows selling all produce directly on site, mainly to its inhabitants, with a large recreational emphasis. The adapted rural settlement targets the emerging new food markets in the urban region with high-value crops, and diversifies production to include native agroforestry for energy production and woodcraft. The desert park contains a low input-output dryland agriculture and sporadic recreational desert harvesters. All three models rely on phased forms of settlement growth, increased income opportunities on site by the (re-)combination of land uses and the creation of microclimates by a strategic arrangement of vegetated land cover in proximity to settlement. Residential options span from medium- to low-density detached courtyard types; different sizes of garden homes, haciendas and farm communities to desert villas, and even RV campgrounds; with the urban-rural oasis having the largest range of choices among the options. Each model may attract broad concentrations and ranges of regional lifestyle groups between urban/suburban, agrarian and nature-oriented communities, of a permanent or an ephemeral nature. A single overarching condition is the realistic acknowledgment of both the obvious challenges and plentiful qualities of the desert. Various cultures could unfold together with the idea of saving water. There seems to be an enormous potential in converting the agricultural landscape into a more resilient and diversified one, along pathways proposed by the three models. Moreover, attempts to free up volumes of water on large sites would be one of the fundamental necessary steps to more permanently embrace both human and natural life in an arid and unique environment like the Lower Colorado River Basin.

Full text
Abstract:
The root system is the plant’s principal organ for water and mineral nutrient supply. Root growth follows an endogenous, developmental programme. Yet, this programme can be modulated by external cues which makes root system architecture (RSA), the spatial configuration of all root parts, a highly plastic trait. Presence or absence of nutrients such as nitrate (N), phosphate (P), potassium (K) and sulphate (S) serve as environmental signals to which a plant responds with targeted proliferation or restriction of main or lateral root growth. In turn, RSA serves as a quantitative reporter system of nutrient starvation responses and can therefore be used to study nutrient sensing and signalling mechanisms. In this study, I have analysed root architectural responses of various Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes (wildtype, mutants and natural accessions) to single and multiple nutrient deficiency treatments. A comprehensive analysis of combinatorial N, P, K an S supply allowed me to dissect the effect of individual nutrients on individual root parameters. It also highlighted the existence of interactive effects arising from simultaneous environmental stimuli. Quantification of appropriate RSA parameters allowed for targeted testing of known regulatory genes in specific nutritional settings. This revealed, for example, a novel role for CIPK23, AKT1 and NRT1.1 in integrating K and N effects on higher order lateral root branching and main root angle. A significant contribution to phenotypic variation also arose from P*K interactions. I could show that the iron (Fe) concentration in the external medium is an important driving force of RSA responses to low-P and low-K. In fact, P and K deprivation caused Fe accumulation in distinct parts of the root system, as demonstrated by Fe staining and synchrotron X-Ray fluorescence. Again, selected K, P and Fe transport and signalling mutants were tested for aberrant low-K and/or low-P phenotypes. Most notably, the two paralogous ER-localised multicopper oxidases LPR1 and LPR2 emerged as important signalling components of P and K deprivation, potentially integrating Fe homeostasis with meristematic activity under these conditions. In addition to the targeted characterisation of specific genotype-environment interactions, I investigated novel RSA responses to low-K via a non-targeted approach based on natural variation. A morphological gradient spanned the entire genotype set, linking two extreme strategies of low-K responses. Strategy I accessions responded to low-K with a moderate reduction of main root growth but a severe restriction of lateral root elongation. In contrast, strategy II genotypes ceded main root growth in favour of lateral root proliferation. The genetic basis of these low-K responses was then subsequently mapped onto the A. thaliana genome via quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis using recombinant inbred lines derived from parental accessions that either adopt strategy I (Col-0) or II (Ct-1). In sum, this study addresses the question how plants incorporate environmental signals to modulate developmental programmes that underly RSA formation. I present evidence for novel phenotypic responses to nutrient deprivation and for novel genetic regulators involved in nutrient signalling and crosstalk.

Tracy, Saoirse Rosanna. "The response of root system architecture to soil compaction." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2013. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13037/.

Full text
Abstract:
Soil compaction has been described as the most serious environmental problem caused by conventional agriculture, as it results in several stresses which may interact simultaneously, including increased soil strength, decreased aeration and reduced hydraulic conductivity. Root system architecture (RSA) is the arrangement of roots within the soil matrix and is important because the specific deployment of roots within the soil can determine soil exploration and resource uptake. As roots deliver water and nutrients to growing plants, whilst also providing anchorage, their importance cannot be overstated. Yet, our understanding of how roots interact with the surrounding soil, especially at the micro-scale level, remains limited because soil is an opaque medium, so preventing roots from being visualised without disturbing them. Destructive techniques are commonly employed for the analysis of RSA, however this can result in the loss of key information concerning root architecture, such as elongation rates and root angles and important soil characteristics such as soil structure and pore connectivity. However, X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has been shown to be a promising technique for visualising RSA in an undisturbed manner. The species considered in this thesis were wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Further information regarding the response of roots to soil compaction has been achieved through the use of X-ray CT, automatic root tracing software and novel image analysis procedures. Soil compaction significantly affected root length, volume, surface area, angle, diameter, elongation rates and root path tortuosity, however the influence of soil texture on root responses to soil compaction was significant. Moderate compaction benefits root growth in clay soil, possibly due to the greater nutrient and water holding capacity, but adversely affected root growth in loamy sand. The results suggest that there is an optimum level of soil compaction for the different soil types. Roots elongated rapidly between 2-3 days after germination (DAG), it is hypothesised that is related to the mobilization of seed storage substances to the growing roots. The use of transgenic mutants of tomato with altered levels of abscisic acid (ABA) has provided a greater insight into the role of ABA in mediating root responses to soil compaction. This work will enable better phenotyping of plant varieties with enhanced root system traits for resource foraging and uptake. Knowledge of the responses of root systems in heterogeneous soil is vital to validate root phenotypes and overcome future food security challenges.

Abstract:
Cerro Baul: A Wari Enclave Interacting with TiwanakuWari expansion to the extreme south of Peru is a phenomenon whose study began 20 years ago, with the discovery of a great arquitectonic complex at Cerro Baul. The excavations undertaken in the last 3 years have revealed that Cerro Baul was more than a military fortress; it was the most important political and religious center that Wari established in the only region where there is direct evidence of interaction with Tiwanaku, the altiplano state that established its colonial center in the middle Moquegua Valley. Based on the twelve radiocarbon dates from Cerro Baul, we can affirm that this interaction was maintained for over 200 years, a time that included periods of tension and others of cooperation.The current work analyzes the relations that the Wari colony on Cerro Baul maintained with its capital located in the Department of Ayacucho. Therefore, we document the characteristics of the monumental and domestic architecture and establish their relationship to forms found in Ayacucho. We also analyze the irrigation technology implemented by Wari in the zone and compare it with the agricultural techniques utilized prior to Wari expansion in Ayacucho and in Moquegua. Precedents for the irrigation technology in the Cerro Baul region are present in Ayacucho, but are not found in Moquegua. Both lines of evidence indicate that contacts between Cerro Baul and the capital were very strong, a position which is also supported by the extensive exchange of prestige goods. Apparently, the Moquegua colony articulated the Wari state's policies for interacting with the Tiwanaku neighbors.
La expansión wari hacia el extremo sur del Perú es un fenómeno cuyo estudio ha comenzado en los últimos 20 años, con el descubrimiento de un gran complejo arquitectónico en Cerro Baúl. Las excavaciones realizadas en los últimos tres años han revelado que Cerro Baúl, más que una fortaleza, fue un centro político y religioso wari muy importante, establecido como enclave en una región donde resulta evidente una directa interacción con Tiwanaku, el estado altiplánico que colonizó el valle medio del Osmore. En base a 12 fechados radiocarbónicos, se puede deducir que esta interacción se habría mantenido por un lapso aproximado de 200 años, tiempo en el cual habrían existido momentos de tensión y otros de cooperación.EI presente trabajo analiza las relaciones que tenía la colonia wari de Cerro Baúl con su capital, ubicada en el departamento de Ayacucho. Para tal fin se han documentado las características de la arquitectura -doméstica y monumental- y se han establecido sus relaciones con formas encontradas en Ayacucho y en otros centros regionales. También se ha analizado la tecnología de riego implementada por Wari en la zona y comparado con la tecnología agrícola de Ayacucho, notando claras similitudes con ésta y fuertes contrastes con la que había antes de la ocupación wari en Moquegua. Ambas líneas de evidencia indican que los contactos entre Cerro Baúl y la capital eran intensos, lo cual se observa también en el intercambio de bienes de prestigio, notándose que fue la colonia de Moquegua la que mantuvo los lineamientos de la política del Estado Wari en su interacción con Tiwanaku.

Abstract:
Les associations de cultures céréales légumineuses participent au développement d'agrosystèmes performants et durables. La proportion de chaque espèce dans le couvert ainsi que leur productivité sont cependant fortement dépendantes de l'équilibre entre compétition et complémentarité interspécifique. Le partage de la lumière entre la céréale et la légumineuse est donc déterminant dans le fonctionnement des associations. La structuration physique de la canopée, qui conditionne l'interception du rayonnement lumineux, résulte de la mise en place de l'architecture aérienne des individus composant le peuplement. Afin d'appréhender les relations entre architecture et partage du rayonnement dans les associations blé-pois (Triticum aestivum L.-Pisum sativum L.), un modèle 3D de la morphogénèse aérienne du pois, baptisé L-Pea, a été développé sur la base de l'approche plante virtuelle. Des expérimentations ont été conduites afin i) de caractériser la morphogénèse de génotypes de pois contrastés cultivés sous différentes conditions (serre/champ, pur/associé), et ii) de modéliser l'architecture aérienne du pois. Un simulateur tripartite, intégrant les modèles L-Pea, ADEL-Blé (modèle architecturé de blé) ainsi que CARIBU (modèle de transferts radiatifs), a ensuite été construit afin de créer une association virtuelle. Cette approche de type plante virtuelle s'est révélée pertinente dans l'optique d'étudier le déterminisme architectural du partage de la lumière dans les associations blé-pois. Ce simulateur a par ailleurs montré que des paramètres architecturaux (e.g. ramifications, entrenœuds) peuvent affecter de manière significative et dynamique le partage de la lumière et donc le développement de l'association. Cette thèse se propose i) de démontrer la pertinence de l'approche plante virtuelle pour appréhender le partage du rayonnement dans les associations et ii) de contribuer à la sélection/construction de variétés/idéotypes adaptés aux couverts plurispécifiques.

Motivation: Small agriculture towns in South Africa are suffering economically since the number of jobs available in the agriculture sector has been decreasing rapidly. This is attributed to a deepening in capital in the agriculture sector (Hall & Cousins, 2015). Consequently, unemployment is the reality of many farming towns and often results in large numbers of young people seeking a better life elsewhere, causing a slow but steady dilapidation of the town. The job seekers move to the city and become yet another burden on the city's already overloaded infrastructure since they have little chance of employment in a city environment with an agriculture skill set. Proposition: This dissertation proposes to contribute towards urban upliftment through healing the supporting parts to the urban whole. Based on the complex adaptive systems theory the whole can only function through the parts and thus as well as its parts. This frames the understanding that since agriculture is a major part of the Western Cape's economy, the city (the whole) can only be totally healed through healing the supporting agriculture towns (the parts). The intention is to provide a strategy, through research, mapping and design exploration that will uplift the image and economy of small agriculture towns in the Western Cape. Thus providing the town's people with pride and hope, the unemployed with jobs and the youth with a future. Approach: Looking at the two extremes of a centralized and localized approach to architecture, economics and general development, a sustainable mid-way of a locally focused, yet globally relevant, angle is strived towards. This approach suggests moving away from an abstract planning towards using the conditions on the ground and the town plan to provide the future plan through small shifts. A pragmatic approach of developing a theory and methodology through practice has been followed. The sample local town has been mapped and investigated in order to create a grocery list of the existing or available resources, conditions and needs. The content is carefully analyzed to determine the smallest move, with the available resources, that will have the greatest positive effect. The scheme relies on a particularity approach which identifies a local kit of parts. The kit of parts is used to create a spatial connectivity across the town and formulate an urban upliftment scheme. The proposed building serves as supporting infrastructure to the spatial network and culminate the urban, spatial, social and economic schemes. The building is also conceived from the kit of parts and serves as a built analogue for the values of the scheme. This proposed methodology/particularity strategy for upliftment of agriculture towns will be applied to and tested on Porterville (a small farming town about 200km North West of Cape Town) in the form of a speculative project.

Can community-based urban agriculture generate stronger communities? How is this possible? This thesis explores the possibility of community development through application of community gardens in an informal settlement near Tehran, Iran. It is expected that this will happen through collective community action and decision-making processes. The role of the architect and planner has studied and defined as the facilitator. The hypothesis was that if the community members share a common piece of land and create a framework for sharing this space over time, they would strengthen their community ties and interaction. In other parts of the world, particularly in poor and disadvantaged areas, urban gardens provide a powerful vehicle for food production and local access while build up on the community's social and political capital. After careful analysis of the community's public life and spaces, this thesis defines four dimensions for an urban agriculture project. While the land use dimension defines the selection criteria for potential community gardens, the social development dimension explores the ways to include different social groups in the process. In the implementation strategies dimension, the technical issues of an urban agriculture project have been studied. Finally, the fourth dimension outlines a strategy for enabling the community to set up a sustainable urban community garden in their neighborhood.

Abstract:
In response to the protracted and ineffective international action on the climate change crisis, this study critically considers the potential of building-integrated agriculture (BIA) as retrofitting strategy to improve the climate change adaptation (CCA) capacity of buildings in South African inland cities. Based on a pragmatism paradigm, the study uses a mixed method research design, to evaluate current BIA farms and their efficacy as CCA retrofitting strategies to improve the thermal performance of the local built environment. The exploratory research is structured in three phases. During the first phase the unused and underutilised spaces of Hatfield, a rapidly changing neighbourhood in Tshwane, South Africa, are mapped and defined in terms of their latent climate change adaptation capability. Secondly, the spatial and technological characteristics of the current BIA industry is surveyed through a series of interviews and observational studies. As the final research phase, a specific BIA farm type, passively controlled non-integrated rooftop greenhouses, is assessed in terms of its reciprocal thermal impact on the built environment. As outcome, the research findings reveal a land-use form that can contribute to the climate change adaptation response strategies of South African cities on a spatial level. Unfortunately, the design resolution and technological realisation, specifically the prevalent form currently implemented in Johannesburg and Tshwane, adversely affect both farmers and building occupants during overheated periods. As a result, the study advocates developing and testing contextually appropriate technological solutions in the BIA industry. The study advances the climate change discourse by assessing the performance of BIA farms as constituent entities in networks of small-scaled climate change adaptation projects in resource constrained urban environments.

Increasing crop water use efficiency (WUE), the amount of biomass produced per unit water consumed, can enhance crop productivity and yield potential. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the factors affecting water productivity among eight sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes, which differ in canopy architecture. Sorghum genotypes, grown under field conditions, showed significant differences in (a) biomass production, (b) water use, (c) intercepted radiation, (d) water productivity and (e) radiation use efficiency (RUE; the amount of biomass produced per unit of intercepted radiation which is suitable for photosynthesis). WUE and RUE were more strongly correlated to biomass production than to water use or intercepted radiation, respectively. RUE was positively correlated to WUE and tended to increase with internode length, the parameter used to characterize canopy architecture. These results demonstrate that increased utilization of radiation can increase water productivity in plants. Sorghum canopies that increase light transmission to mid−canopy leaves can increase RUE and also have the potential to increase crop productivity and WUE. The objective of the second study was to develop a quantitative model to predict leaf area index (LAI), a common quantification of canopy architecture, for sorghum from emergence to flag leaf stage. LAI was calculated from an algorithm developed to consider area of mature leaves (leaves with a ligule/collar), area of expanding leaves (leaves without a ligule/collar), total leaf area per plant and plant population. Slope of regression of modeled LAI on observed LAI varied for photoperiod sensitive (PPS) and insensitive (non−PPS) genotypes in 2010. A good correlation was found between the modeled and observed LAI with coefficient of determination (R[superscript]2) 0.96 in 2009 and 0.94 (non−PPS) and 0.88 (PPS) in 2010. These studies suggest that canopy architecture has prominent influence on water productivity of crops and quantification of canopy architecture through an LAI simulation model has potential in understanding RUE, WUE and crop productivity.

Abstract:
The 1815 Log House is located on the campus of Western Kentucky University. Built in the early 1800's by Archibald Felts, the house was occupied by his descendants until 1968. The dogtrot floor plan, V-notched logs, and stone chimneys are some of the historical architectural features that can be viewed. It was donated to the Kentucky Library & Museum at WKU in 1980, and now serves as an on-site exhibit of early frontier life in Kentucky. The new landscape design for the log house includes a kitchen garden with period-appropriate plants and outdoor demonstration areas. The inventories and journals of the Shaker community at South Union, KY provided the basis for the vegetables used in the kitchen garden, including 'Late Flat Dutch' cabbage and 'Long Scarlet' radish. Dye plants, such as bloodroot {Sanguinaria canadensis) and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). are included in the kitchen garden; the front of the house will be used to display examples of field crops, including 'Stowell's Evergreen" corn. An area close to the house has been designed for a native plants display. Construction of these gardens in the spring of 2008 involved the removal of grass around the house in keeping with historical accuracy. Combined with the house's location on campus, this will increase the potential for soil erosion. A fence and plants that are intended to act as vegetative filters are included in the design to help slow water runoff, and the use of raised planting beds and mulch to cover the bare soil will minimize soil loss. The native plant garden is intended to act as an introduction to the larger house exhibit, and provides a selection of plants native to Kentucky. Many plants are not typically seen outside of wild woodland settings, such as strawberry bush (Euonymus americana), bird's foot violet {Violapedala), and rattlesnake plantain {Goodyera pubescens), and should increase visitors' enjoyment of the entire display. A path connects the native garden to the house exhibit.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis takes into notice a rare case of integration of rooftop urban agriculture into sustainable development of urban areas. The current situation shows that the development of rooftop urban agriculture has not been adequately studied. This master thesis aims to enhance the understanding regarding planning opportunities and challenges for integration of rooftop urban farming in urban design and sustainable urban development with a focus on environmental benefits of its implementation. Furthermore, the thesis brings up a conceptual design programme «Malmö FIVE» that shows one of the ways how architects and urban planners could inspire city developers and municipalities to explore the ways of the redevelopment of the existing unused urban spaces into the new resilient environments.  The thesis based on a combination of literature review, analysis of planning materials, site visits, conducting interviews, discussions and attending seminars and lectures to answer the research questions. The research identified multiple challenges that can be encountered in the process of implementation of rooftop urban agriculture. The findings determined the importance of rooftop urban agriculture being approached from the strategic sustainability perspective to value its potential fully. Rooftop urban agriculture can provide significant environmental values thus have an essential role in the sustainable development of urban areas.

Abstract:
Contextual fit relationships have been examined in many different man-made environments. To date, however, investigation of contextual fit relationships between manmade structures and natural settings has been minimal. The present research examines contextual fit of residential structures to their forested settings. Structure color contrast to setting was found to be inversely related to both perceived fittingness and aesthetic appeal. A positive relationship between fittingness and aesthetic appeal was uncovered. The bearing that these findings can have on visual quality, preservation of forest setting sense of place, and quality of life, is discussed.
