Abstract:

Reeveston Place is a neighborhood located on the southeast side of Richmond, Indiana. All of Richmond's National Register residential areas contain examples of the popular architectural styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Reeveston, however, is a unique Richmond neighborhood because its plan and development were primarily influenced by the trends and styles of the early and mid-twentieth century.Economic and cultural influences before, between and after both world wars, and the impact of the automobile were factors that made Reeveston an area different from its predece

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the relationship between the mass media and urban space, which takes as its object of analysis the concentration of newspaper buildings on Park Row in New York in the second half of the nineteenth century. By analysing five major New York newspapers and the architecture which housed them, commonalities in form, style and structure are revealed which are based on notions of display, spectacle, advertisement, order, and sensationalism. As daily newspapers achieved greater status in nineteenth century cities, their buildings increasingly took on Italian Renaissa

Abstract:

the intention of this creative project, is to explore the concept of the idea of temporary permanence in architecture. the project is an attempt to put into architectural perspective an understanding, meaning and context of the relative permanence of architecture as a parallel physical and conceptual idea over time. the relationship of the various forces that shape, mold and influence the architectural environment is a major part of the natural evolution of the continuing adaptation to change within our environment. from an architectural and general outlook this means being able to understand

Abstract:

Insulating the exterior wall of an historic property can have the benefits of increasing thermal comfort for occupants as well as reducing energy use for heating and cooling. Concerns expressed by preservationists that insulation can lead to the degradation of the building structure or its historic fabric. Using the Park Inn Hotel, an early twentieth century commercial property designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the application, feasibility, ramifications and potential benefits of applying insulation to the exterior wall was studied. Analysis for insulation includes evaluation of the historic cha

Abstract:

To begin is the time of belief in form. Design is the maker that serves this belief. To build is action from a sense of order. When the work is completed the beginning must be felt. I recall the beginning as Belief. It is the time of realizatlon of Form. It is feeling as religion, and thought as philosophy. Then there is no material no shape no dimension. And then recall the adventure of design when dream-inspired. Form must answer to the laws of order so as to be.<br>Master of Architecture

Abstract:

The roles of the individual elements and their constituent pieces that form the basis for the language of architecture were investigated. Walls, stairs, floors, beams, and other elements are the primary means necessary for the expression of ideas in architectural terms. To effectively use these elements, an understanding of their material properties and characteristics is essential. The role of the wall in architecture was especially important in this thesis. Walls have been considered primarily in response to their physical and material properties. Other elements were dealt with according t

Abstract:

The thesis is an exploration of architectural ideas. An exploration which is still ongoing. It is learning how the ideas are realized in terms of materiality and structure. It is how the ideas become the structural, visual language of the building. The thesis is also the study of the institution of school. It is how the school, through its architecture, becomes a place. A place to provide inspiration.<br>Master of Architecture
