Abstract:

In 1984, among the proposals for the redecoration of the British Museum was a plan to reinstate the decorative scheme for the Entrance Hall created in 1847 by Sydney Smirke. The controversy that ensued is the departure point for this thesis. Sydney Smirke's decorative scheme proved to be much more than simple embellishment of the space. It was a polychromatic scheme based on ancient Greek motifs and colours and their archaeological manner of use manifested the period's preoccupation with architectural historicism, and also final recognition that the Greeks had used bright colours on their buil

Abstract:

An area overlooked in recent research is the meaning of architecture in the ill-defined category of sites known as small towns. Using the social psychology approaches of identity theory, social identity theory, and operant conditioning, this study examines the impact of Roman imperialism and the socio-economic changes that occurred on the island as reflected in the choice of architecture. Focusing on small towns is problematic due to difficulties with definition and site categorization. However, as settlements that were more complex than simple villages but more organic than the larger cities,

Abstract:

The thesis started as a study of the 'Golden Age' of Modern Architecture in Eretz-Israel, its time-span covering the years of the British Mandate in Palestine (1918-1948). During that period, architectural practice flourished in the country despite civic unrest and impending political changes. In the course of research, it rapidly became apparent that the current historiography covers ultra avant-garde architectural experiments of the time - which are fundamental to the Israeli identity - but tends to overlook, dismiss and marginalise all other trends that co-existed in parallel with them.

Abstract:

The British Fisheries Society, founded in 1786, was a semi-charitable joint stock company, similar to other improvement trusts of the period established to fund the construction of roads, bridges, canals and hospitals. The Society was however unique in the breadth of its ambition to create a chain of complete settlements or villages the length of the northern Scottish coastline from Dornoch on the east to Oban on the west. These new settlements were intended to be fishing stations focussed on the perceived wealth to be gained from the herring fishery. Four settlements were established at Ullap

Abstract:

This study delineates the domestic architecture of the early colonial period in the American tropics in the first group of British colonies that survived. In 1624, the English made their first permanent settlement on St. Christopher in the Caribbean, then expanded to the neighboring islands of Nevis, Antigua and Montserrat. Of particular interest to this research was what the architecture would reveal regarding how the first settlers adapted to the new island environment, its geography, resources, climate, and people, in the first 100 years.

Focusing on the interdisciplinary context of the Independent Group (1952–55, IG from now), this thesis investigates the collision of visual arts, architecture and ecology in London across a period stretching roughly from the end of the Second World War (1939–45) to the mid-1970s. A traumatic, yet exhilarating time of rapid transformations, the postwar period was marked by an anxious insistence on bio-centric and eco-centric narratives of survival, integration, re-adaptation and above all, regeneration. In the mid-1940s, the shock and devastation of the war, coupled with a new attention to soci

Abstract:

The French-colonial trading town of Montreal underwent a remarkable transformation from 1760 to 1860. Following the British conquest of New France, the powers vested to Catholic missionary orders were assumed by a Protestant administration. Given the diversity of settlers who were forced to live side by side in the more densely populated urban areas of the colony, ecclesiastical design became a vehicle for the expression of national and denominational identities. By examining church production in Montreal during the period, those cultural imperatives inscribed by French, English, Scottish, Iri

Abstract:

This thesis reads contemporary British motorway service areas as questions of place, and as instances of what I call ‘lounge space’, a space of transient consumption that conceals the power of the host. Motorways and service areas are sites where clear boundaries have been asserted, materially as well as theoretically, between local and national, traditional and modern, country and city, place and ‘non-place’. Through close readings of service area forms, details and materials in context, this thesis shows how such absolute distinctions cannot be maintained. Rather than instances of ‘non-place

This thesis aims to establish how and why the architecture of pleasure matched the stylistic and ideological concerns of Modernism and to document the professional, entrepreneurial and institutional infrastructures affecting its development and appearance. It will argue that, in responding to flux of modernity, Modernism in the architecture of pleasure was appropriately ephemeral. Paradoxically, this fashionability undermined existing conceptions ofwhat constituted 'good' architecture and design.

This thesis explores the phenomenon of lifestyle migration: people mainly in their 50s who move to another country, typically with warmer climate and in some cases less stable economies, to reside there full-time. By using the built environment as a means of analysis, this project explores the different ways in which lifestyle migrants come to interact with the architecture of their houses, reflect through them, and construct a new place they are able to call home. By examining how the migrants come to inhabit their new dwellings, the thesis also reveals the underlying importance of their kins

Unfortunately, Lutyens was unable to complete his Spanish commissions, mostly because of the deterioration of Spain’s economy and social order in the 1930s, and this has played a major role in keeping these projects in the dark.

Abstract:

Taking the Women's Weekend Conference held at Ruskin College, Oxford as my starting point, this thesis identifies and critically investigates the representation of specific concerns of the Women's Liberation Movement in British feminist artistic practice between 1970 and 1978. These concerns relate in particular to the personal experience of childraising and domesticity, namely, loss of identity and issues surrounding marriage, domestic labour, childcare, motherhood and female isolation. Approached as a reclamation project based upon the examination of feminist publications, feminist archives,

Abstract:

The paper consists of five steps. The first step is to study and explore theories of order, time image, and meaning of place. A hypothetical equation is proposed which defines a place as having three basic components: time, order and meaning. Special attention is paid to the time image of a place through the thesis. The second step is to organize the theories as a set of systematic design ideas. Twelve design categories are further introduced, which include Rhythm, Season, Celebration, Layer, Future, Sequence, Derelict, Night, Center, Boundary, and Sacred Places. The third step is to generate

Abstract:

In the earlier stages of globalization, global chain hotel design did not have specific concerns about local culture and host country. In the last two decades, these hotels became more respectful towards the local culture by integrating local cultural elements and construction techniques in their design. The reasons for this shift is directly linked with globalization, increased competition between cities, fierce competition between urban hotels, and changing demands of the global travelers.Among the hotels integrating local cultural values, there is a specific niche that has established the

Abstract:

This thesis describes how components of the British Arts and Crafts Movement crossed the Atlantic and inspired the American Gustav Stickley's Craftsman residential architecture. As part of the Movement's reaction against the Industrial Revolution, Stickley's Craftsman residences emphasized honest and simple design and the use of natural materials. My thesis identifies the expressions of Stickley's ideals in the case study of a surviving Craftsman home located in the suburb of Irvington in Indianapolis, Indiana. The case study examines the house's configuration, construction methods, original m
