To accommodate the rapid modernization and urbanization between 1960s and 1980s, a large number of mid-rise apartments has been built in Taipei. Today, these poorly designed apartments represent about 40 percent of the total residential buildings in the city, as much as 3,000,000 housing units. It has become a city-scale social issue, since these apartments no longer !t the needs of aging and wealthier inhabitants. People have been finding ways to modify and improve their living space. However, generally, these building improvements are limited to a relatively small scale due to the in"influence of the "floating real estate market and the high owner-occupied rate in the city. With limited legislation for apartment maintenance, it is di#cult for the existing communities to reach a consensuses that achieves the building improvements on a larger scale, such as creating more space for public amenities. Today, the local government is promoting a series of city renewal policies to rebuild these aging apartments. In this situation, architects have a chance to create a new housing system with well-established regulations. $e new system will help to well distribute the levels of control and provide greater adaptability to !t the living culture in Taipei City.

Abstract:

The Integrated Apartment Management System (IAMS) is a web-based system that allows tenants to make appointments with repairmen on line and notify both apartment managers and repairmen of appointments through an email directly from IAMS. IAMS also keeps a database of appointments, repairs, and payments that can be accessed by tenants, repairmen, and apartment managers.

Abstract:

Real estate prices have during the last two decades seen a large increase. The increased prices together with more regulations of mortgages have created a market where it is difficult to enter. Moreover, a low rate of construction, resulting in a low supply of apartments have further created an exclusive market. To better understand the structure of the market, and to create a more inclusive market, this thesis has further looked at the pricing structure. This thesis uses two fixed effects models to determine which factors affect apartment prices in metropolitan regions of Sweden, i.e., Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. A time period of 2005-2019 was researched, and 44 municipalities were included. Variables used in the model was population density, income, tax rate, unemployment rate, and mortgage rate. Results show that population density and income have a positive effect on apartment prices, while tax rate, mortgage rate and unemployment rate have a negative effect. The results are discussed in regard to supply and demand, which are the main drivers of the housing market.

Abstract:

Today, on the Swedish house market there exist many apartments that go on sale each day. Because people generally want to get a better grip on the final price of apartments, there is a need for an analytic tool that can empower individuals to make an informed decision when selling or buying. In this thesis, we present a model that can be used as a complimentary tool to predict the final price of apartments on Södermalm, Stockholm. The data that the model is based on is gathered from the broker firm Södermäklarna. The underlying model depends on variables such as living space, number of rooms, area, among other important factors. The result shows that almost all of these aforementioned variables are statistically significant in the model. Furthermore we show that the standard error of the entire regression model is about 12% and that two of the most important factors are living space and number of rooms. We also show that in some cases, by just adding a room to an apartment, it can raise the final price substantially. We conclude in this thesis that the model is capable of predicting prices on apartments to some extent. But considering the standard error we conclude that there is room for improvement, one way of doing this is to add more observation objects and variables.

For this MFA exhibition, I created an illustrated book, which I had professionally printed and bound. I made thirty-five illustrations for the book, and twenty-five were exhibited in the gallery in addition to a printed book. The book is eight inches by eight inches. My original illustrations are larger, ranging from twelve by twelve inches to twelve by twenty-four inches, which sit across one entire spread in the book.

Banciao is a district in Taipei, Taiwan where I lived for four years during my undergraduate studies. The narrative is based on my experiences living away from home for the first time in an unfamiliar city. After having lived in different areas, I became interested in how people react and adapt to new environments. Our viewpoints change when we experience different cultures. For me, it is one of the most profound things that I have done in my life.

Abstract:

This thesis contains explanations about the reasons why residents prefer apartment housing to low rise housing far away from the central business district. And it also investigates the facts that affect residents&rsquo
and producers&rsquo
apartment housing choice. As a dominant housing provision type, apartment housing is produced every location in urban space in Ankara. Therefore the study begins with investigating the formation and growth of apartment housing in Ankara by introducing spatial variation of apartment housing. With the help of building and population censuses, distribution of 400 quarters in the Greater Ankara Municipality borders with respect to building and population density, building features, share of apartment housing and average number of storeys are analyzed. FAR values are calculated and analyzed from the CBD to western direction to introduce the change in building densities. Lastly a questionnaire survey is done to find out whether differentiation of building and environment attributes of apartment housing that are produced in different location of urban area are well-matched with their residents&rsquo
preferences. At the end of the analysis differentiation of housing structure of the city clearly comes out. While it is expected that the height of housing structure is decreasing by going far away from the CBD, it is found increasing along certain directions such as western and south-western. However by moving at western direction FAR decreases from 2 to 0,75 which states different characteristics of housing structure even if high average number of storey. As a result apartment housing provisions at different locations offer different lifestyles with their building and environmental characteristics.

Abstract:

This report presents the results of a study of the comfort and safety concerning apartment barges. The most common discomforts are due to vertical and lateral accelerations and high roll angles which are thorough described. A rough risk analysis for apartment barges is performed. If a certain risk is high and it is impossible to eliminate or reduce the probabilities of occurrence, precautions to minimise the consequences are described. The iterative planning process described briefly below is used on the two example projects: Bällstaviken and Pampas Marina.

Abstract:

In Australia and New Zealand, residential buildings have the highest number of fire fatalities each year, compared to any other occupancy type. The majority of these fatalities occur in single family dwellings, but a proportion of these fatalities occur in apartment buildings. Apartment building fires also have the potential to be high fatality fires, due to greater occupant numbers and more complex egress paths. With the movement away from prescriptive building codes, building fire safety design can become more efficient and effective. This should ultimately result in equivalent or better fire safety for occupants, and economical savings with respect to the building codes. The objective of this research report is to discuss the primary issues concerning apartment buildings and to provide a guidance matrix for the fire safety design of apartment buildings, that comprehensively integrates all aspects of fire safety. The fire safety design matrix is presented as a three by two matrix, which recommends minimum fire safety measures based on building height, sprinkler protection and the building emergency plan. The selection of fire safety measures is based on providing multiple levels of protection for the occupants, and addressing the primary characteristics of different apartment buildings.

Abstract:

How do we begin to deal with urbanism in the 21st Century? We are no longer working with the tabula rasa that we were two-hundred years ago; we are dealing with leftover infrastructure. Perhaps we should alter our mindset from â creatingâ to â RE-creating.â We must accept the fact that cities have already been developed, they have already blossomed and many of them are now in late stages of decay. We must work with what is there now. In the 19th Century, builders and politicians believed that in order to reform a culture, they must rebuild. However, unlike our ancestors, we can no longer build without thinking about what the constructionâ s future consequences will be. Environmental concerns are one of the major factors in todayâ s society regarding the idea of â proper urban form.â At the end of the industrial boom, many cities and urban centers have slowly started to become ghost towns of the industries that used to keep them alive. With fewer factory jobs, many families have moved outside of the city â they have become heavily reliant on vehicular transportation to and from the vast parking lots in front of their â big boxâ office buildings and shopping centers. Consumerism has also contributed to suburban sprawl which is quickly hastening our climateâ s deterioration. We are rapidly using up our natural resources. In many instances, we are degrading the soil, deforesting our landscape, and destroying important eco-systems, like rainforests and glacial formations. We are using them up faster than they can repair themselves. Because our environment is NOT an unlimited resource, we need to begin to be more proactive about the way we let people treat our home. We must find ways to reduce the effects of what we do and what we have already done. We must create a means of reducing our footprint on the earth. We must find proper ways to dispose of our waste. We must stop sprawling outward, when there are plenty of well-built structures that we can begin to adapt, renovate and re-use. This project examines an instance in Lynchburg, Virginia â wherein a turn-of the century produce-warehouse has outlived its purpose and now faces a turning point. I propose that we make use of its sturdy walls, floors and interesting character and give it a 21st Century purpose.

Abstract:

This report covers the development in energy efficiency regarding apartment buildings inSweden. The purpose was to investigate the energy efficiency measures done in the last 20 years. The chosen subjects were heat supply, domestic hot water, insulation, windows and ventilation. Each subject was thoroughly investigated. Regulations were compared to measures taken. The chosen subjects have been examined regarding energy efficiency. However, the largerchanges in each area happened as a result of the oil crisis in the 1970’s. The measures done inthe last 20 years mainly focuses on the behaviour of the resident. Energy efficiency in the futuremainly focuses on technology to help the user save energy without changing their behaviour. There are further technical development opportunities regarding heat supply.

Abstract:

Att bygga energieffektiva bostäder blir idag allt viktigare. Grunden till detta arbete ligger i vårt intresse för energismart byggande och företagens nyfikenhet över huruvida de lyckats bygga energismart. Syftet med denna undersökning är att jämföra energiförbrukning för två principiella tillvägagångssätt att bygga flerbostadshus, som passiv- eller lågenergihus. De frågor som valts att behandla är:  Vad krävs för att ett hus ska klassas som ett passivhus respektive lågenergihus år 2009?  Klarar respektive konstruktion målet för energiförbrukning?  Vilka faktorer påverkar skillnaden i den specifika energiförbrukningen?  Vilken typ av koncept rekommenderas? Utifrån en teoretisk referensram inom området och tillhandahållet material, såsom ritningar och uppgifter om energiförbrukning, har en jämförelse mellan dessa två olika konstruktioner gjorts. Studien har riktat in sig på att studera parametrar som specifik energiförbrukning per Atemp och bidragande faktorer till en mer eller mindre lyckad energiförbrukning.

Much research has been done to examine the volatilities of return on public and private real estate investments. However, little is known about market volatility in real estate in general and in apartment real estate in particular. This paper uses 21-year quarterly data across 46 markets in the United States to analyze the market volatility behavior of apartment real estate markets. In addition to summarizing the general profile of apartment volatilities such as vacancy change and revenue change, this paper conducts a significant amount of cross-sectional time-series regression analysis to test the determinants of such volatilities. It is found that demand volatilities dominate the volatility of vacancy change of apartment markets. As for the revenue change volatility, it is almost equally determined by occupancy change and rent change volatilities. Furthermore, the paper finds that big markets, fast economic growth, and a decreased concentration magnitude tend to reduce vacancy and revenue volatilities. Regulations on redevelopment tend to increase the volatilities of revenue change and rent change. The supply elasticities are proved to increase the volatility of vacancy change and revenue change, but to decrease the volatilities of demand and rent change. This paper provides a better understanding of apartment market volatilities, and can be used to hedge risk by improving apartment diversification strategies for both private equity real estate firms and public real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Full text

Abstract:

Ankara has experienced a radical transformation after 1950s, in which the identity of the highly planned capital has been erased, emphasizing homogenization, blankness and similarity. The Apartment Block was the object of this condition and the subject of the transformation in the urban identity, both with its physical existence and with the mind-set it has radiated to the whole levels of the society. It has stripped out the identity of the city with its "
endless reproduction."
This transformation has led the Apartment Block to be accused of transforming Turkish cities to deformed agglomerations, deprived of aesthetics. In this sense, architectural discipline has been criticized for its impotence to respond the economical, social and cultural conditions that traverse the urban setting. This criticism has questioned the generative role of architecture in the Early Republican period as a social engineering and discouraged any relation between architecture and the city, which has manifested the reduction of the architecture to a formal discipline. Ankara, with its dazzling transformation within few decades proposed its own urbanism and its own architecture, with the mutation of the Apartment Block first to a resilient frame than to a multi-programmed infrastructure. This study will consider this transformation as &
#8216
another&
#8217
manifestation of a new kind of urbanism that was mainly declared by Rem Koolhaas and OMA, claming that the resilient and neutral objects are the dominant and extensive forms of the contemporary urbanism. Hence, the study presents a cross reading of the urban development of Ankara together with Rem Koolhaas&
#8217
book Delirious New York and his essay The Generic City in SMLXL. The utmost goal is to explore a possible "
reciprocal relation"
between architecture and the city and to explore the limits of architectural intervention in the particular case of Ankara. Such an objective inevitably requires extending the limits of architectural thinking to the city scale. Thus, Ankara goes beyond a case study in an inquiry that aims to undertand the mechanisms of the building production in the contemporary urbanism.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines factors that are of most statistical significance for the sales prices of apartments in the Stockholm City Centre. Factors examined are address, area, balcony, construction year, elevator, fireplace, floor number, maisonette, monthly fee, penthouse and number of rooms. On the basis of this examination, a model for predicting prices of apartments is constructed. In order to evaluate how the factors influence the price, this thesis analyses sales statistics and the mathematical method used is the multiple linear regression model. In a minor case-study and literature review, included in this thesis, the relationship between proximity to public transport and the prices of apartments in Stockholm are examined. The result of this thesis states that it is possible to construct a model, from the factors analysed, which can predict the prices of apartments in Stockholm City Centre with an explanation degree of 91% and a two million SEK confidence interval of 95%. Furthermore, a conclusion can be drawn that the model predicts lower priced apartments more accurately. In the case-study and literature review, the result indicates support for the hypothesis that proximity to public transport is positive for the price of an apartment. However, such a variable should be regarded with caution due to the purpose of the modelling, which differs between an individual application and a social economic application
Denna uppsats undersöker faktorer som är av störst statistisk signifikans för priset vid försäljning av lägenheter i Stockholms innerstad. Faktorer som undersöks är adress, yta, balkong, byggår, hiss, kakelugn, våningsnummer, etage, månadsavgift, vindsvåning och antal rum. Utifrån denna undersökning konstrueras en modell för att predicera priset på lägenheter. För att avgöra vilka faktorer som påverkar priset på lägenheter analyseras försäljningsstatistik. Den matematiska metoden som används är multipel linjär regressionsanalys. I en mindre litteratur- och fallstudie, inkluderad i denna uppsats, undersöks sambandet mellan närhet till kollektivtrafik och priset på läagenheter i Stockholm. Resultatet av denna uppsats visar att det är möjligt att konstruera en modell, utifrån de faktorer som undersöks, som kan predicera priset på läagenheter i Stockholms innerstad med en förklaringsgrad på 91 % och ett två miljoner SEK konfidensintervall på 95 %. Vidare dras en slutsats att modellen preciderar lägenheter med ett lägre pris noggrannare. I litteratur- och fallstudien indikerar resultatet stöd för hypotesen att närhet till kollektivtrafik är positivt för priset på en lägenhet. Detta skall dock betraktas med försiktighet med anledning av syftet med modelleringen vilket skiljer sig mellan en individuell tillämpning och en samhällsekonomisk tillämpning.

Abstract:

Similar development of economic fundamentals in Germany over the last two decades did not lead to the same dramatic house price increases as it is in Sweden. What can explain this house price stability over a long period? This thesis attempts to find the answer this question. The first paper in this thesis contains an extended literature review on the studies focused on the factors affecting house prices in the short and in the long run. Existing literature adopts a broad variation of approaches and reaches different conclusions attempting to answer the question about what are the key drivers of house prices. Conclusions often depend on the model specifications and econometric methods applied. Though there is a considerable agreement in real estate economics theory regarding the main factors that affect house prices (or so called “fundamental determinants”), it is hard to find a consistent definition regarding what factors can be considered as “fundamentals” and what factors belong to “non-fundamentals”. The dominating factors that are presented in the majority of the studies are income, population, interest rate, housing stock and unemployment. Studies done after the recent financial crisis put more attention on such factors as the behavior of the market participants, financing conditions and regulations. The characteristics of the bank lending and valuation policies as well as regulations on the rental market have received attention in the research literature, but the impact of these factors on house price dynamics is not measured and not well described. Therefore the other two papers in this thesis aim to provide a better insight in to the factors that create fluctuations in housing markets. The second paper investigates the effects of macroeconomic indicators such as population, income housing stock, mortgage interest rate on house prices. Estimation is done by applying panel data methodology on regional data for major cities in Germany and Sweden and by using yearly observations from 1995 to 2010. Results suggest that the long-run development of apartment prices in Sweden can be explained by changes in such factors as population, disposable income per capita, mortgage interest rate, housing stock, and prices per square meter in the previous period. The price for the previous period has the highest impact in comparison with other factors in Sweden. At the same time for Germany this is the only factor that is valid for long-term house price development. Estimates for fundamental factors such as population, disposable income, mortgage interest rate and housing stock appeared as not significant in house price development in the long run in Germany. A closer analysis has shown that the fundamental factors developed in a similar way in both countries during the analyzed period, though the house prices dynamic is very different. The conclusion is that fundamental factors cannot provide an explanation for the differences in house price developments in two countries and further analysis of institutional differences in the housing markets is done in the third paper. Third paper applies a comparative analysis approach and hypothetico-deductive method in order to examine the differences in the banking policies on mortgage financing and approaches to valuation of mortgage properties in Germany and Sweden. The results suggest that the extreme rise in Swedish house prices above the long-term trend was created by expanding bank lending policies that was supported by the general macroeconomic factors and regulation environment on the housing market. The main difference between countries in approaches to valuation for mortgage purposes is that in Germany that mortgage is based not on the market value as it is in Sweden, but on the long-run sustainable value, so called “fundamental” value. Mortgage lending value is determined in such a way that is also develops in the same tempo as fundamentals in the long-run and is not that procyclical as market value. Using a long-term sustainable value has a restrictive effect on the housing prices and in such a way stabilizes the market. One more factor that gives stability to the housing market in Germany is the well-functioning rental market. Third paper contributes to a better understanding of necessary conditions for the house prices to rise in the long run above the fundamentals level and suggests policy solutions that can reduce the risks of housing bubbles and increase financial stability.
Ekonomiska fundamenta hur utvecklats på ungefär samma sätt i Tyskland och Sverige, men medan huspriserna i Sverige stigit kraftigt har de varit stabila i Tyskland. Vad kan förklara denna skillnad? Syftet med denna licentiatuppsats är att försöka förklara det. Den första uppsatsen innehåller en omfattande litteraturöversikt rörande vad som styr huspriser på kort och lång sikt. Den existerande litteraturen innehåller många olika angreppssätt och kommer till olika svar om vad som driver huspriserna. Slutsatserna beror ofta på hur modellerna specificerats och vilken ekonometrisk metod som använts. Det finns dock betydande enighet i ekonomisk teori om vad som är de grundläggande faktorerna som styr huspriserna (så kallade fundamenta) så finns delade meningar om hur dessa exakt ska specificeras och vad som räknas som icke-fundamentala faktorer. De vanligaste fundamentala faktorerna i studierna är inkomst, befolkning, räntenivå, bostadsutbudet och arbetslöshet. Studier gjorda efter den senaste finanskrisen betonar med beteendefaktorer, finansieringsförhållande och regleringar. Egenskaperna hos bankernas långivning och värderingsprinciper liksom effekten av hur hyresmarknaden fungerar har då fått lite utrymme vilket motiverar att de behandlas mer ingående i denna studie. Den andra uppsatsen undersöker effekterna av makroekonomiska indikatorer som befolkning, inkomst, bostadsutbud och räntenivåer på huspriser i Tyskland och Sverige. Studien begränsas till ett antal större städer och bygger på data från 1995-2010. Paneldataanalys används. Resultaten pekar på att den långsiktiga prisutvecklingen i Sverige kan förklaras av sådana fundamentala faktorer, men också att priset föregående period påverkar priset perioden efter. För Tyskland är enbart den sista faktorn av betydelse, dvs utvecklingen av de fundamentala faktorerna påverkar inte prisutvecklingen där. Trots att de fundamentala faktorerna utvecklas på liknande sätt så leder de inte till samma utveckling av huspriserna. Detta motiverar djupare studier av institutionella skillnader mellan bostadsmarknaderna i de båda länderna. Den tredje uppsatsen är en jämförande studie som använder hypotetiskt deduktiv metod för att undersöka om skillnader i bankerna lånepolicy och skillnader i värdebegrepp kan förklara skillnader i prisutveckling på bostäder. Resultaten pekar på att de snabbt stigande priserna i Sverige kan förklaras med en expansiv långivning. En viktig skillnad är att medan långivning i Sverige grundas på aktuellt marknadsvärde medan den i Tyskland bygger på ett långsiktigt värde som ska spegla långsiktiga fundamentala faktorer, ett så kallat "mortgage lending value". Detta värde utvecklas mer sakta och ska inte svänga med konjunkturerna på det sätt som ett marknadsvärde normalt gör. Genom att långivning grundas på detta värde stabiliseras marknaden. En annan faktor som bidrar till att stabilisera de tyska bostadspriserna är att det finns en fungerande hyresmarknad som skapar ett alternativ till att köpa. Bidraget i den tredje uppsatsen är att öka vår förståelse av nödvändiga villkor för att huspriserna inte ska stiga snabbt och att den pekar på åtgärder som kan minska risken för prisbubblor på bostadsmarknaden, och minska risken för finansiell instabilitet.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 64-66).
This paper empirically examines the correlation between apartment REIT performance (as measured by Funds from Operations, Net Operating Income, Gross Rental Revenue, Net Income, Market Capitalization and CAP Rate) and market fundamentals (as measured by weighted average rent growth, weighted average employment growth, weighted average stock growth and weighted average excess demand). The objective of this paper is to explain the variance in historical apartment REIT performance based on historical market fundamentals. Market fundamentals are broadly defined as the employment growth, population growth, stock growth and rent growth. More detailed definitions of market fundamentals are provided within the paper. Independent variables are developed from market data collected from 57 MSAs. Using these data, weighted averages are generated in order to isolate geographical effects. These independent variables are regressed against measures of financial performance of apartment REITs as of December 31, 2000. The results show that weighted average rent growth (given NREI rent data) and growth in apartment units explain 37.1% of the variance in the percent change in FFO per unit and 37.8% of the variance in the percent change in market capitalization per unit across the sample of selected apartment REITs. Furthermore, weighted average rent growth (given government rent data) does a relatively poor job of explaining the variance in the percent change in FFO per unit.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I examine how local communities can be encouraged or enhanced in an apartment complex with the help of a local collaboration platform. I examine the relationship that exists within between neighbors in the apartment building in Sweden. Moreover, I focus on presenting relevant theory regarding neighborly relations along with research on creating local communities. I perform a series of interviews with people living in residential building in Sweden and the use of relevant methods for creating me an understanding of how we can use the areas located on the border of private and public space inside the residence. My research will also focus on how windows can be used to encourage local involvement and create a sense of community within the residential building. As part of the thesis, I highlight some relevant projects previously done in terms of neighborhood and community research, too.

Abstract:

In this thesis, an attempt will be made to nd a model that predicts apartment prices in inner city Stockholm. Lately, apartment prices have steadily increased and it has become rather popular to invest money in apartments due to the high potential of value increase. Of course not all apartments will increase in value, and we hope to nd the factors that determine the value of an apartment that is about to be sold. To nd these factors, we will combine the approaches of regression and time series analysis, creating a linear regression model and a time series model, and then taking the mean of their predictions. Statistics of apartment sales during the time period of August 2012 to February 2014 will be used as data, and when nding the models explicitly, large data handling softwares such as SPSS, Excel and Matlab will be used. The thesis consists of an introduction to the general theory behind the two approaches, followed by our specic case. Lastly, an attempt will be made to draw some general conclusions from our ndings, and the accuracy of our model will be tested by predicting the selling price of a few apartments that have been or are about to be sold and comparing the predictions with the actual price.
I denna uppsats kommer det forsökas att hitta en modell for att förutse lägenhetspriser i Stockholm innerstad. På senare tid har lägenhetspriserna vuxit stadigt och det har blivit populärt att investera pengar i lägenheter. Det ar en hög chans att värdet på en köpt lägenhet ökar, men detta är inte nödvandigtvis normen. Denna uppsats är ägnad åt att identifiera de faktorer som påverkar försaljningspriset for lägenheter. För att hitta dessa faktorer kommer analytiska modeller användas och dessa modeller kommer baseras på statistik av lägenheter sålda mellan augusti 2012 och februari 2014. Modellerna som kommer användas är linjar regression och tidsserier. Nar modellernas koecienter och faktorer ska definieras explicit, kommer SPSS, Excel och Matlab anvandas. Efter att de båda modellerna definierats, kommer medelvärdet av båda modeller representera predikatorn. Var modells nogrannhet kommer provas genom predikera försäljningspriset av en lägenhet på marknaden och jämföra detta med det faktiska priset. Förhoppningsvis kommer denna modell ha tillräckligt hög precision för att forutspå lägenhetspriser resten av år 2014.

Abstract:

As the human population increases, the way we use and manage our supply of drinking water becomes even more important. The purpose of this study was to determine residents’ satisfaction level of and performance rating of new water savings devices installed in their apartments. Specifically the investigation focused on ratings of shower heads, kitchen faucet aerators, bath faucet aerators, and fill valve and flapper systems. This quantitative survey included residents at 4 apartment complexes in Tennessee using a paper questionnaire (N = 626). The participants were grouped by age, ethnicity, gender, and whether or not they had experienced both nonrestrictive devices or restrictive low flow devices within their apartment. An independent samples t test was conducted from the research questions for each of these 4 groups. The testing variables for each group consisted of the overall performances of the low flow devices, and the satisfaction of the time to get hot water to shower heads and faucets. There was no significant difference between the 4 grouping variables; residents aged 62 and over compared to 61 and younger, males compared to females, whites compared to nonwhites, and those who had experienced both nonrestrictive and restrictive devices while living in the same apartment when compared to these variables; performance rating of low flow shower heads, kitchen faucet aerators, bath faucet aerators, and low flow toilet devices. The variables also included the satisfaction rating of the time needed to get hot water to the new low flow shower heads and kitchen and bath faucet aerators. These findings support the effort to save clean water and reduce water and sewer costs by installing low flow shower heads, bath and faucet aerators, and water saving toilets. Mean score suggest satisfactory ratings were encountered in every testing category and within every group. In particular, the satisfactory mean score of residents who experienced both nonrestrictive and low flow devices while in the same apartment led to the conclusion that the reduction of water can be achieved satisfactorily in all types of residences.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the state apartment in the Jacobean country house – its status, function, use, planning, decoration and furnishing. It does so against various different backgrounds. Firstly, that of the royal progress, during which Tudor and early Stuart monarchs – in particular, James I – would visit private residences around the country. The nature of such visits are explored, using a large amount of primary evidence and drawing upon a full itinerary of James I's reign, compiled for the first time as part of this thesis. A different context, that of royal palaces, is then considered, particular focus being given to the use and accessibility of state apartments. This subject is further explored within the context of the noble household. The use of state rooms beyond and during royal visits is investigated, again using much primary evidence that has been largely neglected before now. It is shown that state apartments in country houses were the focus for elaborate ceremonial, and that they were used for the reception and accommodation of various honoured guests, not just members of the royal family. In the last two chapters of the thesis, the planning, decoration and furnishing of the country house state apartment is considered. It is argued that arrangements developed significantly between the Henrician and Jacobean periods, the state suite evolving from a comparatively simple (and sometimes haphazard) collection of spaces to a cohesively planned and integrated suite – a true apartment. This argument is based on the detailed analysis of 29 sixteenth-century houses (including Thornbury Castle, Theobalds and Hardwick Hall) and 9 houses of the Jacobean period (including Audley End, Hatfield House and Bramshill). Such a study clearly demonstrates that state apartments were undoubtedly the best rooms in a country house, and were used to reflect and further an owner's status and prestige.

Taking an analytical approach, this thesis will address how the unmet housing need of urban single-person households can be rectified by the introduction of micro-apartments. The existing housing stock has been built largely based on the needs of a historically stable demand for family housing. By 2025, the number of single households will equal the number of households containing families with children. Given the remarkable increase in single-person households over the past few decades, a significant gap has formed in the availability of properly priced housing to meet the needs of people who would prefer to live alone. This affordability gap is an opportunity for cities to take strain off of family housing, stimulate the economy, and create innovative housing types that satisfy the needs of their fastest growing demographic. With land and labor costs at an all-time high, apartments with less square footage-micro-apartments- are a viable solution to filling the supply gap for single-person households. This thesis first analyzes this mismatch between supply and demand; introduces micro-apartments as a logical approach to ease the strain on housing; evaluates barriers and alternative theories that delay the implementation of this logical solution; and finally, makes recommendations for planners and policymakers to successfully add micro-apartments to their menu of housing options. The growth in single-person households with various levels of income indicates a significant demand for small units of modest means. Micro-apartments offer the opportunity to live alone to a variety of people, including new arrivals to cities, young professionals, and people at transitional stages in life such as a recent divorcée or a young couple. By offering housing to these segments of demand, micro-apartments will implicitly lessen the strain of existing housing stock intended for families.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 49-50).
This thesis explores an application of a rule-based method to a practical architecture design. It uses shape grammar, a paradigm of generating designs in a specific style by using shape tokens (architectural elements) and rules of transforming between them. If a shape grammar can be made for mass production design that needs many repetitious units with slight differences, it would be very productive and valuable in the context of professional architectural practice. As an example, this thesis proposes a shape grammar for generating apartment plans in the style of Mies van der Rohe's high-rise projects that he made in the first half of twentieth century. Through this grammar, alternative apartment plans with different volumetric schemes can be developed rapidly for the given site, and allow an architect to quickly evaluate different possibilities of a building's mass and layout. Such a grammar also can be a good pedagogical tool, and an architectural student can use it to study and understand Mies van der Rohe's apartment designs. The thesis evaluates the advantages and the disadvantages of this shape grammar in the context of professional practice, and discusses the possibilities of similar grammars that could be developed for other architectural styles.
