Full textAbstract:
Most art galleries around the world look the same; a large white room with a few artworks placed far apart. This standard way of designing art spaces together with locating them almost exclusively in the city centers makes them both physically and culturally distant for many people. This project aims to explore other ways of displaying art to make it accessible to more people through small architectural interventions. It is an exploration about the relation between space the body and the object. A prototype for a mobile art gallery has been built as a testing device.

Thesis (M.

These connections link between user and building; site and building; program and building; art and public. This study uses as a starting point a previous design project where advances technology allowed and informed the complex geometry and overall composition of the building. This thesis investigates the assemblage of the major building components to demonstrate how the connections make the building. This model will show how these technologies best realize the intent of the program. This art gallery gives up-and-coming local and regional artists and designers the opportunity to exhibit their work. The combination of the building and program will increase the interaction between the general public and art. The building design distinguishes itself from the typical temple- or vault-like quality of the art museum and exhibits a more inviting form. These connections not only make the building; they connect art and public in a more dynamic relationship.<br>by Amy M. Kim.<br>M.Arch.

Full textAbstract:
How can architecture connect us to our environments?
Is architecture responsible for connecting its user to their surrounding context? Can our spaces inform us about the world around us? There are numerous ways that humans can feel a connection to nature. But, what ways are more universal than others? What aspects of the natural world cross geographical and cultural boundaries? Perhaps, architecture can connect us to our environments by revealing the universal passing of time through natural daylighting by way of structure, materiality, and texture.
As the primary instrument, daylighting will be used in this body of work to explore time on an hourly and seasonal basis. It will do this by housing two light-sensitive programs, a painting conservatory and gallery space. By pairing these programs together, the architecture will investigate time by comparing and contrasting two user types and their corresponding needs from each program.
Finally, by setting the architecture in the center of a urban block, the thesis can draw upon this high contrast to reinforce the connections it has constructed and made between the user and the natural environment.<br>Master of Architecture

Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, 2014.<br>Page 76 blank. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 74-75).<br>The term "master-builder" defines an individual who encompasses the skills to conceptually conceive of and physically manifest a piece of architecture. These individuals are as much interested in the formal and social outcomes of a design as they are in the materials and construction techniques that make them real. Despite this, contemporary architectural practice has veered away from the concept of masterbuilder, and into more limiting and bracketed professional roles. The rise in project complexity and evolving legal frameworks mean that architects now work as part of a much larger and divided design and construction team. This thesis insists that designing and making are not two separate acts, but are rather one holistic process. It builds off of the contemporary momentum created by digital fabrication, rapid prototyping, and the maker movement but goes one step further. While it recognizes that the testing of design ideas through the construction of small scale models and mockups is important to the design process, this thesis argues that the 1 to 1 construction of buildings are an essential part of future architectural practice.<br>by Andrew James Manto.<br>M.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1996.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 114-115).<br>Spanning the Fort Point Channel for nearly a century, Boston's Rolling Bridge is a familiar landmark to many railway commuters and residents of the city. Its robust steel assembly, characterized by three anthropomorphic forms, demonstrates the principles of late nineteenth-century bridge design. As a symbol of the industrial age, it is also the last surviving drawbridge of its kind in the city. Unfortunately, this bridge will be demolished as part of the ongoing Central Artery / Third Harbor Tunnel project. Despite numerous efforts to salvage the structure for the arts community in the district, its re-utilization remains doubtful. The bridge's demolition exposes a prevalent problem in the post-industrial city: the annihilation of industrial artifacts by new infrastructural demands. Can one create a new future for an abandoned artifact such as the Rolling Bridge? This thesis suggests that the artifact evolves to dynamically engage its surrounding environment. It proposes that the bridge be dismantled and its parts reassembled into a building. By transplanting the new structure onto an adjacent site, a tension is created between the disappearance of the "ancestor" and the appearance of its "descendant". Recast as an art gallery for the Fort Point Arts Community, the transformed structure will present another chapter of the bridge's history. In re-utilizing the bridge components, the thesis will accomplish two tasks: one, preserve the memory of the original structure; and two, redefine the role of this artifact within the city. The mission is to provoke new ways of thinking about industrial relics by using the bridge as an instigator.<br>by Winston E. Lim.<br>M.Arch.

How can modern architecture closely refer back to historical architecture without copying or making flat imitations? My thesis project idea is born out of the discussion on modernism versus traditionalism in architecture brought to the surface by the network Arkitekturupproret. I have investigated this through the proposition of an art gallery building with a big red roof. The red roof acts as a screen where imprints of 3-dimensional fragments from different historical eras are projected. The building has an extroverted outside that echoes of the architectural history of the city of Sundsvall, and the big red roof hides an inside that is introverted and focused on exhibiting art.

Full textAbstract:
Negotiating Boundaries is an effort to investigate and explore multisensorial environments. Throughout history, architecture is and has always been predominantly visual in nature. The visual dominance of architecture has often been critiqued by philosophers and architects. The thesis presents an argument that all senses " haptic, auditory, olfactory and vision, collectively contribute to experience a space. The thesis is a qualitative approach towards studying the significance of this existential experience of architecture in the built environment. The privilege of the sense of sight over the other senses and its bias in architecture cannot be neglected. Therefore, the experience of the visually impaired or blind has been used as a challenge to study these non-ocular centric spaces.
Pallasmaa beautifully puts, Vision reveals what the touch already knows.
We see the depth, the smoothness, the softness, the hardness of object; Cézanne even claimed that we see their odor. If the painter is to express the world, the arrangement of his colors must carry with this indivisible whole, or else his picture will only hint at things and will not give them in the imperious unity, the presence, the insurpassable plenitude which is for us the definition of the real.
The live encounter with Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater weaves the surrounding forest, the volumes surfaces, textures and colors of the house, and even the smells of the forest and the sound of the river, into a uniquely full experience.
The thesis presents a case to defend that architecture is not merely a series of visual scenes but has a fully embodied material and spiritual presence.4 Architects and Philosophers whose studies and explorations remain relevant to my interest are Juhani, Pallasmaa, Peter Zumthor, Louis Kahn, Steven Holl, and Carlo Scarpa amongst many others.
Juhani Pallasmaa in his book, The Eyes of the Skin writes, "An Architectural work is not experienced as a series of isolated retinal pictures, but its fully integrated material, embodied and spiritual essence. It offers pleasurable shapes and surfaces molded for the touch of eye and other senses, but it also incorporates and integrates physical and mental structures, giving our existential experience a strengthened coherence and significance.<br>Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates how museum and gallery buildings can be designed to give functional longevity and appeal. It considers this in terms of their design and relation to their surroundings and use in the context of changing social, cultural, political and economic factors. Post World War II the typological design and layout of these buildings was challenged; partly as a result of the influence of modernism and also as new modes of art production challenged the spaces and display modes. Financial instability and class perception have always been problematic and increased public expectations add to issues that need addressing. The study investigates how these factors have impacted on these buildings and if this has influenced their design and use. It considers the regional context of the West Midlands and also draws comparisons to other areas in England to investigate ways of addressing contemporary issues to achieve longevity of use. The study considers the historical influence of the typological developments. Examples from the West Midlands and investigation of the area’s historical background are used to identify if regional idiosyncrasies exist and if these influence a building’s longevity. This establishes their contemporary context and objectively reviews the resulting implications of appearance and function in relation to the social, cultural and economic issues that may be dominant within this region. A qualitative interview methodology and analysis is used to examine the views of a multidisciplinary group of museum and gallery users, capturing a snapshot in time of their views on the appearance, understanding and use of these buildings. This information is analysed and discussed in conjunction with the findings of the relevant literature. The comparison of the information researched raises regional and national issues associated to design and use of these buildings. Four key themes related to the longevity of use emerged; architectural design, location, economic viability and inclusivity.

Esta dissertação tem como foco central o estudo de edifícios pavilhões e sua relação com a produção tridimensional - entendida como instalação e escultura. Para tanto, articula-se o conceito de \"campo ampliado\", elaborado por Rosalind Krauss em texto de 1979 para abarcar as transformações da escultura a partir dos anos 60, com seu recente deslocamento, para o âmbito da arquitetura por parte de alguns autores, nomeadamente Antony Vidler. A pesquisa não se resume apenas a uma investigação da contribuição do espaço arquitetônico para a escultura ou da escultura para a arquitetura, mas foca especialmente a linha que as separa, visto que a tendência de convergência das duas disciplinas faz com que seu elo de reciprocidade se dissolva numa produção intersticial, realizada por artistas, arquitetos ou mesmo por ambos em colaboração. O pavilhão sempre foi entendido como um campo experimental para os arquitetos, especialmente ao longo do século XX quando ajudou a consolidar as premissas da arquitetura moderna. Hoje, apresenta grande visibilidade através de diversos programas que oferecem condições únicas de encomenda e concepção pressupondo uma arquitetura singular, que configura uma produção desvinculada do binômio forma-função e cujo assunto autorreferente é a própria arquitetura. Do ponto de vista das artes o pavilhão representa uma expansão da instalação para um todo espacial que passa a envolver também o edifício e, quando tomado como meta arquitetura, opera também como plataforma de afrontamento crítico. O embate teórico acerca dos desdobramentos do \"campo ampliado\", bem como a investigação sobre aspectos essenciais do termo \"pavilhão\", de natureza maleável, são confrontados com uma análise crítica de casos selecionados em três instituições com características bem distintas- Bienal de Veneza, Instituto de Arte Contemporânea do Inhotim e Serpentine Gallery -, e possibilitam alinhavar conclusões sobre esta produção contemporânea no limiar dessas duas disciplinas.<br>This dissertation is focused on the study of pavilions and their relationship with the three-dimensional production - understood as installation and sculpture. Therefore, the concept of \"expanded field\", elaborated by Rosalind Krauss in the 1979 essay to encompass the transformation of sculpture from the 60\'s, is articulated with the recent shift of this same concept into the realm of architecture by some authors, namely Antony Vidler. The research is not just an investigation on the contribution of the architectural space for sculpture or, on the other hand, from sculpture to architecture, but focuses especially the line that separates them, understood as a disposition of convergence by the two disciplines which dissolves the reciprocal bonds in a interstitial production, performed by artists, architects or even both together. The pavilion has always been understood as an experimental field for architects, especially during the twentieth century when it helped consolidate the assumptions of modern architecture. Today it has gained great visibility through several programs that offer specific conditions by commissioning and assuming a unique architecture design that sets up a production untied from the binomial form-function, resulting in a self referent building whose subject is the architecture itself. From the point of view of the arts, it represents an expansion of the installation configuring a spatial whole that also implicate the building and, when taken as meta architecture, also operates as a platform for critical confrontation. The opposition on theory about the ramifications of the expanded field, as well as a research on the essential characteristics to a malleable term, are faced with a critical analysis of selected cases in three institutions gathering rather distinct characteristics - the Venice Biennale, the Institute of Contemporary Art Inhotim and the Serpentine Gallery -, and allow conclusions on this contemporary production in a disciplinary threshold.

The aim of the work is to find a suitable way and solution of mediating architecture and its broad themes into the lives of the public. To design an ideal space and suitable conditions for the popularization not only of architecture, but also of related fields such as art, landscape architecture and construction, where all these disciplines will be connected. The main part of the design is to find a suitable way to "transfer" architecture from large cities and those in which it is taught to regional cities or villages. This way of presentation and sharing would be carried out by mobile pavilions, which would create mobile studios. The entire system will be coordinated and managed by the building, where these mobile pavilions will be merged and modularized. The building will create a "center of architecture", where all functions will be combined. This centre serves as a complementary function to the schools of architecture, civil engineering, fine arts and landscape architecture. Thus, there will be cooperation between students across all disciplines with a place for presentation and exhibition to the public.

Esta dissertação visa entender as implicações do projeto arquitetônico no momento da execução de obras efêmeras, bem como busca elucidar os paradigmas essenciais a este projeto frente ao estágio avançado de depredação dos meios naturais em que o planeta se encontra. Entretanto, ainda que com a escassez de referências bibliográficas sobre o tema, na busca por esse pensamento analisaremos três pavilhões de verão da Galeria Serpentine executados por arquitetos de grande importância no cenário atual acreditamos que o conceito em arquitetura fica plasmado na obra. A leitura desses objetos, organizados não verbalmente, necessita de um referencial capaz de elucidar a sintaxe do pensamento que o orienta, revelando através de dados icônicos e indiciais o repertório de seu projetista. Neste momento mostra-se fecunda a teoria da semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce, não apenas para revelar o repertório do arquiteto e os paradigmas de projeto que o orientam, mas também para pesquisar de que maneira estes profissionais materializam seus pensamentos através da linguagem não-verbal da arquitetura. Por outro lado, o que se vê à exaustão em eventos comerciais é a utilização de semelhantes sistemas construtivos industrializados, dos quais o OCTANORM é o mais conhecido, o que garante a continuidade do processo moderno e a elevação da capacidade de montagem e desmontagem como valor principal da obra. As hipóteses aqui levantadas tomam estes sistemas como uma manifestação da continuidade e apontam para outras arquiteturas, ainda efêmeras, mas alheias a essa dinâmica e com especificidades que caracterizam um campo particular de estudo. A base epistemológica deste trabalho veicula muito a semiótica peirciana e a bibliografia fundamental que dá orientação à pesquisa tem origem na filosofia da arquitetura e na psicologia da percepção com diversos teóricos.<br>This dissertation intends to understand the architectural project implications in the moment of the execution of ephemeral works, and tries to elucidate the essential paradigms to this project due to the advanced stage of depredation found within the planets natural resources. However, even facing a bibliographic shortage on the theme, searching this thought, we will analyze three summer pavilions inside Serpentine Gallery, executed by well-known architects we believe that the concept in architecture remains in this work. The reading of these objects, non-verbally organized, needs a reference capable of elucidating the thought syntax that guides it, revealing the designer repertory through iconic and inkling data. In this moment, Charles Sanders Peirces theory is shown to be abundant, not only to reveal the architectural repertory and the projects paradigms that guide it, but also to find the way that these professionals turn their thoughts into matter through non-verbal architectural language. On the other hand, what is exhaustively seen throughout commercial events is the use of similar industrialized constructive systems, from which OCTANORM is the most known, what guarantees the continuity of the modern process and the elevation of the mounting an dismounting capability as the main value of the work. The hypotheses raised in here consider these systems as a manifestation of continuity and point to other architectures, still ephemeral, but disconnected to this dynamic and owners of specificities that characterize a particular field of study. The basis of this work, regarding the use of epistemology, features peircians semiotics a lot and, the fundamental bibliography, that gives the research an orientation, has its origin in the architecture philosophy and in the psychology of perception defended by many theorists.

The authors then, separate from one another, created one alternative design each.The first of the two designs found its inspiration in different geometrical shapes, whereas the other was more of an organic design with a smooth and flowing architecture.<br>De digitala ritningarna finns att tillgå från författarna på begäran.

Ett nytt kommunhus för Nynäshamn stad, belägen i Stockholms län sydspets, vilket innehåller aktivitetsbaserade kontor, ett konstgalleri, kafé och en plenisal. Byggnaden ligger mellan två olika men kompletterande stadsrum vilket byggnaden bemöter med två olika "ansikten", allt medan den fortfarande uppfattas som samma byggnad. Denna idé, vilken kan liknas vid idén om Janusansiktet, har varit min huvudsakliga ingång i det här projektet. Utvändigt både återspeglar ansiktena de stadsrum som äger rum framför och är aktiva i formandet av dess karaktärer. Sammanflätningen mellan de båda sidorna sker istället inuti byggnaden där övergången ömsom är flytande och ömsom skarp med visuella snarare än fysiska kopplingar.<br>A new municipal building for the city of Nynäshamn, located in the most southern part of Greater Stockholm, including acitivity based offices, an art gallery, café and council chamber. The building lies inbetween two different but complementary public spaces which it adresses with two different "faces" while still being read as one and the same building. This idea, reminiscent of the image of the roman god Janus, has been my main focus through this project. Outwards, the faces both reflect and take an active roll in forming the character of these public spaces while the interweaving takes places inside the building where they sometimes are visually, although not physically connected, and sometimes closer to fade into one another.

Full textAbstract:
Fukuda Chiyo-ni and Kiyohara Yukinobu were 17th-18th century (Edo period) Japanese women artists well known during their lifetime but are relatively unknown today. This thesis establishes their contributions and recognition during their lifespans. Further, it examines the precedence for professional women artists’ recognition within Japanese art history. Then, it proceeds to explain the complexities of Meiji-era changes to art history and aesthetics heavily influenced by European and American (Western) traditions. Using aesthetic and art historical analysis of artworks, this thesis establishes a pattern of art canon formation that favored specific styles of art/artists while excluding others in ways sometimes inauthentic to Japanese values. Japan has certainly had periods of female suppression and this research illustrates how European models and traditions of art further shaped the perception of Japanese women artists and the dearth of female representation in galleries and art historical accounts.

Culture building in the South Centre In my master thesis I have made a proposal of a culture building – Art Gallery. My work was based upon my previous proposal of the surrounding parc, where the gallery is placed. This location is connected with new site of planned main trainstation. Urban role of this building is to create a conection between new multifunctional estates and older industrial building - viaduct. Southern part of the parc is profilled as a riverine forest and swamps in my project as it was there naturaly before. Placement of the gallery and its entrances was quite dificult, because of complicated urban situation. My solution of this problem was a integrated volume building with a console spanning towards the new estates eastewards. This determines clearly the entrance and relations with surroundings. The first floor is composed by spatial foyer with a information desk, book shop, cloakroom, caffetery and multifunctional hall. Skyline of Petrov can be percived by windows on the north. The centre of the gallery is a vertical comunication formed by simple monolytic helical stair. The enlightment is provide by drawn up skylight. A rest space in the second floor provides atypic vertical views of old town of Brno, parc and the cathedral. Two large exhibition rooms and art workshop complete the second floor. In the basement there are 39 car slots, storage, technical and manitenance rooms. The caffetery in the first floor can be reached even directly from the parc via foot bridge over the swamp. Every spring the snowdrops and snowflakes flower there. The constuction material is armoured concrete with wall system completed with pillars.

The aim of this work is to create arts campus for the Faculty of fine arts and Faculty of Architecture from the complex of buildings of BUT at Údolní street. Current buildings (formerly army barracks houses) don't have sufficient capacity and are not suitable for the arts departments. Inner part of the campus is nowadays without urbanistic concept and is formed of many buildings of differnt purposes. This work deals with the urbanistic solution of the campus, new use of the current buildings and creation of the new buildings, needed for teaching and exhibitions. I am adding annexes to the historical buildings that will be used by artists. There is main entrance and common gallery in the center of those buildings on the busy crossroad. In the inner part of the campus, between buildings of Faculty of Fine Arts and Faculty of Architecture, there will be the gipsoteca and drawing rooms that will be used by both faculties.

Envisagé sur un temps long de deux siècles et dans une aire géographique conséquente (France, Italie, Espagne, Allemagne, Autriche, Suède), ce travail débute par une étude du développement de ces décors au XVIIe siècle, en interrogeant le rôle de la France dans la définition et la circulation des modèles en Europe. Puis, dans un second temps sont étudiées les typologies de cabinet et de galerie de glaces, pièces les plus concernées par ce type de décor. Enfin, la place des miroirs dans la pratique architecturale et leur rôle illusionniste dans les intérieurs sont traités dans une dernière partie<br>Occupying an important place in the interiors, mirrors have progressively been an architectural decor in its own right in the private rooms, then in the reception rooms of the European great aristocratic houses in the XVII and XVIII centuries.

Based on a two century scale and a substantial geographic area (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Sweden), this work starts by a study of the development of these decors in the XVII century, by questioning the role of France in the definition and the circulation of models in Europe. Then, it focuses on the typologies of mirror cabinet and galleries, the most affected rooms by this kind of décor. Finally, in the last section, the mirror place in the architectural practice and their illusionist role in the interiors are studied

Full textAbstract:
La tesi considera la varietà di formule espressive e di destinazioni funzionali della fotografia in rapporto alla costruzione di spazi e architetture nella Milano del primo cinquantennio dell’unità d’Italia.
Strumento di lavoro per architetti e ingegneri, la fotografia delle principali operazioni edilizie eseguite nella città lombarda a partire dagli anni sessanta dell’Ottocento rappresenta per la nuova classe dirigente un fondamentale strumento di legittimazione del proprio operato amministrativo e di illustrazione dei progressi compiuti dalla città sulla via della modernizzazione.
Attraverso un itinerario storico della ‘fotografia di cantiere’, costruito anche grazie al confronto con casi italiani e internazionali, lo studio presenta una puntuale analisi del fenomeno in ambito milanese. Tra i progetti affrontati, il piano di riforma del centro cittadino (1865-1878) di Giuseppe Mengoni e i restauri del Castello Sforzesco (1893-1907) di Luca Beltrami, oltre a una serie di interventi minori, documentati da alcuni dei principali fotografi attivi in città e dai redattori della pubblicistica illustrata, tipologia editoriale che tra Otto e Novecento si serve con sempre maggiore consapevolezza del mezzo fotografico. L’evoluzione del linguaggio fotografico viene dunque indagata nel suo contributo alla costruzione di un’iconografia nazionale della modernità, fenomeno che vede la città di Milano porsi in prima fila nel contesto italiano.<br>The study investigates the variety of expressive formulas and functional destinations of the photography production concerning the architectural renovation occurred in the city of Milan between 1861 and 1911.
Design tool for architects and engineers, construction photography reveals itself as a fundamental tool of political legitimation for the new ruling class and illustrates the progress made by the city in terms of modernization.
Through a historical reconstruction of the genre of construction photography, which also considers Italian and international cases, the study presents a detailed analysis of the Milanese phenomenon. Among the projects, the reform plan of the city center (1865-1878) developed by Giuseppe Mengoni and the restoration of the Sforza Castle (1893-1907) led by Luca Beltrami , as well as a number of minor operations. The inquiry considers the production by some of the main photographers working in the city and the iconographic apparatus of the most important illustrated press of the period, which during the late nineteenth century uses with increasing awareness the narrative qualities of the photographic medium.
The evolution of the photographic language is therefore inquired with regard to his contribution to the construction of a national iconography of modernity , a phenomenon that sees the city of Milan in the front line.

Full textAbstract:
This study looks at the degree to which Emile Galle's theories of symbolic ornamentation are observed in contemporary landscape architecture design. Galle's theories consist of three components: the first relates to the functional aspects of design, and the last two relate to the aesthetic aspects. These three components are used to evaluate three case studies. In the case studies, Bicentennial Commons in Cincinnati and Canal Walk in Indianapolis show a partial though apparent utilization of Galle's theories, while Riverwalk in Milwaukee comes closest of the three to demonstrating the application of Galle's theories in Landscape Architecture. However, none fully exhibit Galle's theories. Nonetheless, the case studies, and in particular Riverwalk, exhibit the initial stages of a renewed interest in ornamentation in which culture is symbolically represented through nature. Landscape Architects, more than ever, are being called upon to embody the meaning of the land through a cultural synthesis in an expression of past/present and man/nature.<br>Department of Landscape Architecture

The subject of this diploma project was to design an architectural proposal of The New Synagogue and Jewish Community Centre in Teplice, Czech Republic. The main goal was to design a complex of buildings which would be used not only for the worships but also for cultural and educational purposes. The proposal consists of the design of 3 buildings connected to each other by a cen-tral courtyard. The form is based on the traditional values set into contemporary de-sign shaped by demands of current generations. One of the main design elements - the beam structure above the courtyard implies a symbol of The Star of David as the symbol of Judaism as we know today. The building of New Synagogue represents the first, three storey building on the north part of plot. The second, east part, is building consisting of cultural centre, info centre, museum, gallery and spaces for workshops with it's technical and sanitary facilities. A Kosher Restaurant will be located into the third and last two-storey building. An undeground parking will be used by the staff and visitors of the whole complex.

Full textAbstract:
Au sein du vaste phénomène pan-européen de l’émergence de nombreuses sépultures collectives apparaissent à partir de la deuxième moitié du 4e millénaire av. J.-C. des structures dites allées sépulcrales dans deux régions distinctes, notamment en Hesse et Westphalie, dans le Bassin parisien et avec de faibles effectifs en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas. Ces caveaux de matériaux diverses et de forme rectangulaire sont organisés en une antichambre courte réservée au dépôt de mobiliers collectifs et en une vaste chambre funéraire réservée aux dépôts successifs de nombreux défunts. Les similitudes architecturales entre les structures de ces deux aires géographiques furent reconnues dès le 20ème siècle et la nature de leurs liens a été dès lors interrogée à partir de perspectives diffusionnistes. La trajectoire d’influences unilinéaires varia au cours du temps en fonction du progrès des méthodes et de la mise en œuvre de datations par le radiocarbone. Ce travail s’est penché une fois de plus sur cette question, en effectuant une analyse comparative à deux niveaux: une comparaison empirique de toutes les tombes recensées afin de vérifier en quoi les structures collectives correspondent effectivement à un stéréotype architectural et afin de saisir les variations potentielles entre elles sur le plan régional, et d’autre part une comparaison qualitative de trois Galeriegräber et six allées sépulcrales afin de déceler à quel degré leurs modes de fonctionnement convergent ou diffèrent en fonction d’aspects architecturaux distincts et régionaux. Ce travail interroge enfin la manière dont on peut considérer ces tombes comme les vestiges d’une idéologie partagée de la mort<br>Amidst the pan-European phenomenon of the rise of numerous collective burials in the second half of the 4th millennium BC appear so-called gallery graves in two distinct regions, notably in Hessia and Westphalia, in the Paris Basin, and in scarce numbers also in Belgium and the Netherlands. These collective burial vaults of diverse construction materials and of rectangular shape are organised in a short antechamber reserved to the deposit of collective grave good assemblages and in a long chamber sheltering numerous deceased individuals, which were deposited successively. The similarities of the structures of both main study regions in terms of architecture were already noted since the 20th century and the nature of the ties binding latter have since then been interrogated in the line of diffusionist approaches. The resulting presumptions of the direction of unilinear diffusionist processes changed according to the progress of dating methods and processing of radiocarbon samples. With the present research work, the issue was revived anew, and this time via a twofold comparative analysis: A first, empirical comparative analysis is destined to check at what level the collective structures correspond to a structural stereotype and to inform us in terms of potentially regional variations. A second, qualitative comparison included three Galeriegräber and six allées sépulcrales in order to determine to what degree their uses conferred or differed according to distinct architectural and regional features. The resulting observations are finally argued jointly concerning to what extent we finally can consider them the remains of a shared ideology of death

Sous l'effet d'une baisse des effectifs sensible a partir de la fin des annees soixante-dix et d'un climat de recession economique, les grands programmes de construction scolaire des decennies precedentes font place a une politique moins ambitieuse, dominee par la gestion et la restructuration du parc immobilier. Bien que peu de projets aient ete realises depuis vingt ans dans l'enseignement secondaire, la plupart des travaux concernant la renovation et l'extension des batiments existants, une nouvelle conception de l'espace scolaire s'affirme pourtant. C'est d'abord dans le hampshire que se manifeste ce renouveau de l'architecture scolaire britannique. Les realisations nouvelles se distinguent par un souci de l'esthetique et de la qualite architecturale, par l'accent mis sur le cadre naturel et par le rejet des techniques de construction industrialisees. Il semble que l'evolution actuelle, aussi bien dans l'amenagement interieur que dans l'apparence exterieure des batiments, reponde aux aspirations des utilisateurs que nous avons interroges au cours de nos enquetes. Mais des exigences contradictoires pesent toujours sur l'espace scolaire. La reconciliation des besoins personnels, pedagogiques et sociaux represente en effet un defi pour les concepteurs. Et ce renouveau, d'essence rurale et suburbaine, trouve la ses propres limites. De plus, l'architecture scolaire est necessairement affectee par les bouleversements importants intervenus recemment dans la definition des contenus d'enseignement, mais aussi dans les processus de decision et le financement des batiments. Devant la perte d'influence des collectivites locales et la diversification extreme des institutions educatives, la definition d'une architecture publique et de son role dans la communaute educative reste plus que jamais d'actualite<br>As school rolls declined in the late nineteen seventies and recession set in, school building policy moved away from the large programmes of earlier times towards a more piecemeal approach giving priority to management over creation and expansion. Although few purpose-built schools have been planned in the last two decades, most of the work carried out in the country being confined to remodelling and extending buildings in use, new developments in school design have come to the forefront. Hampshire's architects department has played a pioneering role in the revival of british school architecture. An emphasis on aesthetics and the natural environment, the search for quality and variety, in reaction against system building, single out those new schools. The new directions, to be felt in interior design as much as in the appearance of buildings, seem to meet the expectations of the users we have interviewed in our survey. But conflicting pressures are still at play : the claims laid by personal, pedagogical and social needs cannot easily be addressed. And this revival, mainly confined to rural and suburban areas, bears its own limitations. Besides, school architecture cannot remain unscathed by the major changes introduced in the curriculum, in the process of decision making and in education funding. As local government influence declines and the range and type of schools widens, the role public architecture can play in the educational community is still an open issue

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyses Louis Kahn’s independent work until 1957 period in which he designed the Richards Medical Research Laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania. The Richards Medical Research Laboratories marks the creator’s moment par excellence where he discovers the fundamentals that will become trademark of his work and influence as well the architecture of his time. In order to understand the genesis of the Richards Medical Research Laboratories and find the underlying substrates that originate the project I have traced an imaginary section-cut to the timeline until 1957. The present thesis approach comes from two moments: the immeasurable and measurable, that is, from the world of ideas to the world of tangible objects. And from these two moments this thesis tries to open another space for the unsayable to appear in order to comprehend the significance of the Richards Medical Research laboratories in Kahn's work and in his time.
Kahn’s creative process follows a path going from the incommensurable (the idea), to the measurable (the building), and goes back to the incommensurable (transcendence departing from the building). Accordingly this thesis is divided in two fundamental parts the first one titled “From the Incommensurable to the Measurable” and a second part titled “From the Measurable to the Incommensurable”.
In the first part “From the Incommensurable to the Measurable” the thesis presents the relationships that builds Khan’s “imaginario” establishing connections between his ideas through Kahn’s own writings, professional relationships, trips, and the city and then relating these elements with the same period’s own and referential projects. In this first part of the thesis ideas are the real protagonists therefore texts takes over images.
In the second part of the thesis “From the Measurable to the Incommensurable” the main topic centers on the Richard’s Laboratories and the Biology Laboratories. The focus of the second part will be Kahn’s Richard’s laboratories and earlier projects therefore the materiality of the architectural project becomes protagonist. In the Laboratories Kahn identifies, names, and makes clear the empty space as the organizer of architecture, structure, and installations. Through this empty space as organizer it is possible to individualize the service space with the same bluntness as the architectonic spaces through the use of monumental scale and showing how it works as if it were enormous industrial machinery.
Departing from the Richards Medical Research Laboratories building Kahn discovered the fundamentals of his own work because through this building he could synthetize in a project the search of years of work and at the same time the architecture could sediment the legacy of history through his travels, relationship with his own time, and his own experience with the city. On the other hand the building works as a manifesto of Kahn’s architecture because with the Laboratories the architect sets the foundations of his work obliterating the legacy of modern architecture. Kahn will work on a solid architecture instead of a fine and diaphanous architecture offering a juxtaposition of walls and then carving them very carefully. Through this organization Kahn operates a series of almost sculptured wall opening in order to create light effect a light that will be sifted and filtered to convert it into a surreal light.
The intention of this thesis is to analyze the different levels of the incommensurable and the measurable in its different approximations of the psyche to the matter and vice-versa in order to make them resonate in the incommensurable level which is the one of transcendence; a transcendence achieved through a building and its impact through time making the building itself the embodiment of Louis Kahn legacy to his time and the history of architecture.<br>El presente trabajo se desarrolla en el periodo inicial de la obra independiente de Louis Kahn hasta el año 1957, cuando realizó el edificio Richards Medical Research Laboratories en la Universidad de Pensilvania. Este edificio marca el momento creador por excelencia, donde descubre ciertos fundamentos que se repetirán luego en su obra posterior y en otros proyectos de su tiempo. Por este motivo se establece un corte en la línea del tiempo hasta el 1957, para entender cómo se gesta la obra y encontrar los substratos subyacentes que conforman el proyecto. La aproximación viene desde dos momentos, que son lo inconmensurable y lo mensurable, es decir desde el mundo de las ideas hasta lo tangible, intentando abrir otro espacio para que lo indecible aparezca y podamos comprender la trascendencia del este edificio en la obra de Kahn y en su tiempo.
De esta forma, el trabajo se divide en dos momentos importantes, que se instauran a partir de las palabras de Kahn al referirse al proceso creativo en su trabajo. Este proceso es el paso de lo inconmensurable (la idea), a lo mensurable (el edificio), para volver a ser inconmensurable (trascendencia a partir del edificio). De esta forma abordamos el trabajo en dos partes fundamentales, una denominada de lo ‘inconmensurable a lo mensurable’, y la otra de lo ‘mensurable a lo inconmensurable’. En el primer caso, de lo inconmensurable a lo mensurable, aparecen relaciones que construyen el imaginario de Kahn desarrollando puentes entre sus ideas a través de sus escritos, relaciones profesionales, viajes, la ciudad, relacionándolos con sus proyectos que trabaja en este tiempo y los proyectos que cita como referentes de su obra. En este momento los textos poseen mayor extensión que las imágenes, siendo el ámbito de las ideas las que tendrán protagonismo.
Ya en la parte de lo mensurable a lo inconmensurable, tratara principalmente del proyecto de los laboratorios Richards y el laboratorio de Biología que aparecen como extensión del primero. En esta etapa el análisis de los proyectos anteriores, y fundamentalmente del los laboratorios será lo primordial, por este motivo, el proyecto ahora tendrá mayor preeminencia que el texto. En este edificio identifica, nombra y hace explícito el espacio vacío como articulador de la arquitectura, la estructura y las instalaciones. De esta forma, fue posible la individualización de los espacios de servicio con la misma contundencia que aparecen los espacios arquitectónicos, a una escala monumental y mostrando su funcionamiento, como si se tratara de una enorme máquina industrial.
Creemos que a partir del edificio Richards, Kahn descubrió el fundamento de su obra, ya que pudo sintetizar en el proyecto, toda la búsqueda de años de trabajo, así como, al mismo tiempo, pudo sedimentar el legado de la historia por medio de sus viajes, las relaciones con su tiempo, y su experiencia con la ciudad. Por otro lado este edificio funciono como un manifiesto de su propia arquitectura, ya que funda las bases de su trabajo, obliterando el aporte de la arquitectura moderna. Kahn va a trabajar una arquitectura solida en vez de una arquitectura diáfana y fina, proponiendo una yuxtaposición de camadas de muros sucesivos, trabajando cuidadosamente la horadación de los mismos. Por medio de esta disposición, opera una serie de procedimientos de apertura del muro de forma casi escultórica, para conseguir efectos de luz, la cual al ser tamizada y filtrada, se convierte en una luz irreal. Lo que se pretende es que del análisis de las esferas de lo inconmensurable y de lo mensurable, en sus diversas aproximaciones de la psique a la materia o vice versa, es que logren resonar la ultima esfera inconmensurable, que es la trascendencia a partir del edificio y sus impactos en su tiempo, siendo este el gran legado de Louis Kahn a su tiempo y a la historia de la arquitectura

I takt med att externa köpcenter och e-handel har tillkommit har antalet besökare till de centrumnära galleriabyggnaderna (tidigare Domusvaruhus) minskat. Numera är det vanligt förekommande att handelsverksamheter tvingas stänga på grund av konkurrensen från externa köpcenter och e-handel. Detta resulterar i tomma lokaler i centrumnära galleriabyggnader som för med sig ett mindre utbud att erbjuda besökare. Färre besökare till de centrumnära galleriabyggnaderna resulterar i färre besökare till platsen runt om galleriabyggnaden men också hela stadskärnan.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra med ökad kunskap om hur befintliga centrumnära gallerior kan omformuleras som idé och i singestaltning. Detta för att möta dagens utmaningar hur galleriabyggnaderna återigen kan bidra till centrumutveckling samt hållbara och attraktiva stadsmiljöer. Målet är att finna en ny utformning och funktion för Odenhuset i Trollhättan. Resultatet ska även kunna tillämpas på andra befintliga gallerior i liknande centrala stadsmiljöer. Studien utfördes genom metoden Research by Design som innehåller detre faserna: förstudie, designprocess och designanalys. Genom Research by Design är det möjligt att skapa ett gestaltningsförslag för den nya utformningen där förslaget bygger på en vetenskaplig förstudie. Den första fasen förstudie, inkluderar platsbesök och litteraturstudier. De gallerior som besöktes i studien är antingen i framkant av att kombinera verksamheter i byggnaden (Mixed Use) eller är i en liknande situation som Odenhuset med allt färre aktiva verksamheter. Slutsatsen av arbetet är att det är grundläggande att acceptera handelns utveckling för att finna en ny funktion för centrumnära galleriabyggnader. Handeln har kontinuerligt förändrats utifrån människans behov. Då externa köpcenter samt e-handel uppfyller människans nya behov bättre än vad centrumnära galleriabyggnader gör har denna konkurrens uppstått. Resultatet av gestaltningsförslaget i detta arbete är därför flexibelt och anpassningsbart för centrumnära galleriabyggnader så att de återigen kan uppfylla människans nya och framtida behov. Gestaltningsförslaget och den nya funktionen av den centrumnära galleriabyggnaden bör lämpligen inkludera olika typer av verksamheter. Fler verksamheter samlade på samma plats skapar ett större utbud och därmed skapas bättre förutsättningar för att locka till sig besökare. Att kombinera verksamheter ger goda förutsättningar till att skapa mångfald och rörelse i och utanför byggnaden. Den nya utformningen inkluderar verksamheter som ger förutsättningar till att få människors vardag att fungera bättre.<br>During 1960 and 1970, several Domus department stores opened in the city centres of Sweden. By car, both local and long distance visitors could visit the Domus department store. As the external shopping centres and electronic commerce appeared, the number of visitors to the city malls (previously Domus department stores) has decreased. Nowadays, it is common for trade business to be forced to close the business because of the competition from external shopping centres and electronic commerce. This results in the fact that empty rooms nowadays are commonly found in city mall buildings. With the empty spaces, the city mall buildings have a limited range of goods and services. Less visitors to the city mall buildings result in less visitors to the place next to the city mall building, but also less visitors to the entire city centre.The purpose of this master thesis is to contribute with increased knowledge of how the existing city mall buildings can be redesigned as an idea and in its design. This because it is necessary to meet today’s challenges how the city mall buildings can contribute to a better sustainable and an attractive urban environment. The aim of this master thesis is to find a new design and function for Odenhuset in Trollhättan. The result should also be able to apply for similar existing city malls in central urban environments.The study was conducted by using the method called Research by Design. The method contains the three phases: pre-studies, design process and design analysis. Through Research by Design, it is possible to create a design proposal for the new function of the building where the proposal is based on scientific pre-studies. The first phase pre-studies includes site visits and literature studies. The city mall buildings that were visited for thestudy are either in the leading edge of Mixed Use or does the visited city mall building has many empty premises in the building.The conclusion of this master thesis is to find a new function for a centreclose city mall building, it is essential to accept the trade development. How trade has developed and changed is based on what human needs has looked like. Since external shopping malls and electronic commerce meetpeople nowadays needs better than the city malls does, the competition for customers has arisen. The result of the design proposal is therefore flexible and adaptable in order to make the city mall buildings once againbe able to meet new and future human needs. The design proposal and the new function of the city mall building should conveniently include different activities available for everyone. To combine different activities creates a wider range for the place. A wider range makes better conditions for the building to get more visitors and movement around the place.The design proposal gives space in the city mall building for activities thatmakes people’s everyday lives work better.

Full textAbstract:
Handel är en central del av en stads funktion och utveckling. Den bidrar till stadsliv och lockar människor till staden. Köpcenter påverkar och formar städers handelssituation och är ofta placerade i städers centralare delar. Undersökningar visar dock att köpcenter står inför utmaningar som hotar att lämna tomma lokaler, vilket påverkar stadens stadsliv och drivkraft. I denna uppsats undersöks hur svenska kommuner kan påverka köpcenters markanvändning och resiliens. Resiliens är, bland annat, den egenskap eller process som beskriver möjligheter och flexibilitet till att förutse och svara på olika former av kriser i förhoppning om att vidareutvecklas. Kommuners möjlighet till påverkan diskuteras främst utifrån teorier kring handel, köpcenter och det fysiska planeringssystemet. De ger en samlad förståelse över ett köpcenters situation och gör det möjligt att analysera dem och deras resiliensstrategier. Inom ramen för studien har två fallstudier genomförts, den ena behandlar köpcentret Entré i Malmö som fallstudieobjekt och den andra behandlar Galleria Boulevard i Kristianstad. Analysen visar på hur omständigheter så som e-handel, konkurrens mellan köpcenter och samarbetet mellan kommun och ägare påverkar fallstudieobjekten och deras nivå av resiliens. Analysen visar att förståelse över köpcentrets situation är en viktig del i en resiliensstrategi samt att kommuner och ägare samverkar i viss mån, men utan större inverkan. Uppsatsen belyser att kommuner visar på en vilja att öka köpcenters resiliens men att beslut inte alltid baseras på relevanta underlags rekommendationer. Därtill visar uppsatsen indikationer på att lagar som reglerar den kommunala fysiska planeringen ibland hindrar kommunen från att hantera köpcenters resiliens. Slutligen antyder analysen att kommuners främsta verktyg för att hantera resiliens är det fysiska planeringsarbetet och kommunikation med viktiga aktörer kopplade till det aktuella köpcentret. Sammanfattningsvis verkar ansvaret för köpcenters resiliens ligga hos deras ägare, men att kommuner kan bidra genom en ökad flexibilitet.
