Bauman, Dawn G. "A vegetation management study and guidelines for the Ravine Garden of the Lilly Pavilion at the Indianapolis Museum of Art." Virtual Press, 1989. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/722757.
Full textAbstract:
The goals of this report were: 1) to present a comparison between historic and present day landscape plantings in the Ravine Garden of the Lilly Pavilion at the Indianapolis Museum of Art; and 2) to develop and establish a vegetation management study that would provide guidelines for the vegetation management of the Ravine Garden. The study and guidelines were developed in order to: a) remove inappropriate present day plantings; b) protect the historic landscape plantings; c) eventually replant the historic plants currently missing; and d) manage the vegetation of the Ravine Garden as in an important historic designed landscape.Department of Landscape Architecture

Ney, Jason B. "Transculturalism in Emile Galle's art nouveau Ecole De Nancy and contemporary landscape architecture." Virtual Press, 2000. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1191714.
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.Department of Landscape Architecture

Ravesloot, Todd M. "Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, Indiana : a rehabilitation plan." Virtual Press, 2004. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1292987.
Full textAbstract:
The structure now owned by Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis, IN was built in 1903 at 16th and Delaware Streets by a very prominent congregation, the First Presbyterian Church. Since its construction, the building has been subject to a rehabilitation that destroyed many historic features of the building, followed by abandonment that led to its overall deterioration. For the past four years the building has been occupied once again following a partial rehabilitation.This study found that the building was historically intact on the exterior, but problems such as the deterioration of the limestone were threatening the overall integrity of the structure. The interior, which had been subject to many alterations as part of a 1958 renovation, was fully functional and in good condition but was missing many historic features.This study makes recommendations for repairs on the exterior and an interior rehabilitation that restores some missing historic features, and promotes the retention and stewardship of the existing historic features within the building.Department of Architecture

Knoke, Betsy S. "Establishing a unique sense of place in an urban pocket of the Fountain Square neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana." Virtual Press, 2004. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1286424.
Full textAbstract:
Throughout the country, new development continues at a rapid pace, sprawling away from city centers leaving behind gaping holes in the community structure. This new development contains a disappointing sameness creating places devoid of unique identity or character. As a result of this movement outward, inner city neighborhoods are left struggling to survive. These older neighborhoods lose residents and businesses, and suffer both socially and economically as residents flee to the suburbs. Such flight leaves pockets of decaying, deserted areas within the urban core.In order to decrease the incidence of this characterless new development from occurring, older neighborhoods need to be revitalized to provide interesting, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods that are desirable places to live. Most of these older neighborhoods contain desirable characteristics that distinguish them from other places such as distinctive architecture and a unique identity. They were built to a human scale that is far superior to the automotive scale of suburbia. These neighborhoods can be revitalized to emphasize their inherent community character, making them more memorable and lasting. Through such revitalization efforts, these neighborhoods would provide a higher quality of life.This creative project identifies neighborhood design principles necessary to restore deteriorating areas of urban neighborhoods and demonstrates that these renewed neighborhoods can, over time, redevelop a unique sense of place. Application of these restorative principles will be illustrated in a revitalization of an urban pocket of the Fountain Square neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana.Department of Landscape Architecture

Kleckner, Tommy G. "Early concrete grain elevators of Indianapolis." Virtual Press, 2002. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1231396.
Full textAbstract:
During the nineteenth century, technological advances in grain elevator construction revolutionized bulk grain storage and handling. The mechanical elevation of grain in storage facilities was one such advancement. More importantly was the evolution in construction material from wood to reinforced concrete. Both allowed for the construction of massive grain storage facilities. Economic forces associated with the transition of agricultural production in the United States from domestic subsistence to international supplier encouraged the construction of large terminal facilities. This was particularly true in the years immediately preceding the United States' involvement in World War I. These technological advances and economic forces contributed to the development of Indianapolis as a major terminal grain center in the nation during the first half of the twentieth century. This thesis examines the history of this development, as well as, that of the reinforced concrete grain elevator in Indianapolis with a focus on three specific grain elevator facilities.Department of Architecture

Lao, Julio E. "Renewal of the city market plaza in Indianapolis, Indiana." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/724978.
Full textAbstract:
Today's planners and designers are working to improve the quality of living areas in cities, as is observable in such urban centers as Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Atlanta and of course, Indianapolis, just to mention a few. To create or keep those desirable spaces, cityscapes, historical sites, plazas and recreational areas, the use of planning, design and redesign is necessary.This creative project deals with the redesign of the City Market Plaza in Indianapolis. Potentials and possible future concepts are addressed.Today's City Market is not a major place of interest that attracts a large clientele. Places like Union Station, Pan American Plaza, The Indianapolis Circle and the recently approved circle Mall, diminish its importance as an attraction. The large O'Maiia's and other smaller specialty markets detract from its value as a market. But the potentials still are there for tourism, daily shopping and restaurant dining. By adding new locales in the City Market's plazas, with new uses and adjusting a well planned program of activities to these locales, it will help survive and compete successfully against the competition.Department of Landscape Architecture

Estep, Clayton E. "A master plan for amateur athlete housing in the city of Indianapolis." Virtual Press, 1987. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/543778.
Full textAbstract:
The City of Indianapolis, in wanting to become the amateur athletic capitol of the United States, needs to provide appropriate housing for training athletes and their coaches in order to fully realize the city's goal of creating the optimum amateur athlete environment. This project provided a master plan for an athlete housing complex located in the peripheral downtown area along the Canal, and near several sports training facilities. A major purpose of the project was to approach the housing site development utilizing Latin American Spanish Colonial planning-design concepts adapted to a North American urban site. Thus, the proposed housing and its site plan serve not only as a living environment for visiting athletes, but as an enduring post- X Pan American games commemoration of our respect and friendship for the people of Latin America.Department of Landscape Architecture

Rosenberg, Seth Andrew. "Corner stores and bottles : African-American consumption in Indianapolis." Virtual Press, 2008. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1391237.
Full textAbstract:
The majority of African Diaspora archaeology has focused on slavery and plantation contexts, particularly in the American South. Recently, some historical archaeologists have conducted research on the African American, postbellum experience in various settings and geographical locations. A few archaeologists have argued that race and racism were at the heart of American social structure in the antebellum and postbellum world alike. Expanding on current research, this paper compares the glass bottle assemblages from two sites from Indianapolis, Indiana's near-Westside to examine the ways in which race and racism impacted everyday consumption in an early to mid-twentieth century, Midwestern city. These two sites, a residence and a corner store within the same neighborhood, offer a unique archaeological opportunity to study how the relationship between race and consumption is affected by marketing and distribution.Department of Anthropology

Full textAbstract:
At the turn of the 19th century, cities were vibrant with strong economies, increasing populations, large building movements and most importantly, technological innovations. Availability of frequent and efficient transportation was key to the sustenance and growth of cities. This thesis is an exploration of the impact the street and interurban railway systems made on the city of Indianapolis and its suburbs during their heyday of service between 1864 and 1930.To verify the value of railway locations in relation to the direction of Indianapolis suburb growth, an effort to conduct quantifiable research was applied. First, population growth in Marion County, Indiana and its surrounding eight counties was studied. Evidence of significant growth in areas served by streetcar and interurban systems in comparison to areas that were served only by steam railroad or no service were highlighted. Second, historical land use change research was conducted to determine how land along Indianapolis corridors served by the streetcar railway system was affected by the introduction of such service. Finally, a review of popular response to the systems was undertaken to better understand the effects of the railways on the population.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and determine different energy components existing within historic buildings that will contribute to the development of guidelines for applying modern technology systems within these strucutres and to show the financial, social and physical benefits, which may result without altering the architectural and cultural significance of the building.Union Station, Indianapolis, is an example of historical and architectural ingenuity. If proper and selected energy systems are applied, Union Station will be a strong active force for revitalizing the surrounding area, which has deteriorated and fallen into disuse in recent times. Similar examples of significant historic buildings are scattered all across the country, and with the new development taking place, these historic structures, which are the physical and visual links between us and our past, are being thregtened for the sake of the "glass-box". This study shows the many advantages in preserving these historic links whether economically, architecturally or socially, by bringing the best technology of both worlds and molding them into one system, in which both technologies work together and compliment each other rather than be an isolated system.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this master's thesis was to prepare anhistoric structures report on Oldfields, the former estate of Mr. Hugh McKennan Landon,and Mr. Josiah Kirby Lilly, Jr. It included some of the surrounding areas known as the Town of Woodstock and an area of land in the flood plains below the estate. Construction of the estate began in 1908 and was completed three years later. Of particular note was the historic landscape which was designed between 1920 and 1926 by Percival Gallagher of Olmsted Brothers, a firm in Brookline, Massachusetts. The estate has undergone limited change and has never been fully documented. Both the landscape and the home are eligible for inclusion on the National Register for their historic and architectural significance. To qualify for the Register, the site or building must be designed by a master, be an example of a unique method of construction, be associated with historically significant people, or be an excellent example of a type of design. Although only one of the above qualifications is necessary for National Register nomination, this estate met all four qualifications. Clearly, scholarly historical documentation of the site and building was in order. The timely need for such work was great, since few of the original family members were still alive, and rumors pertaining to the home and family were were being taken as fact.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The goal of the creative project was to provide recommendations for renovating the Holliday Park Arboretum based upon existing conditions, tree species, open space analysis and interpretive activities.All trees within the Holliday Park Arboretum were mapped, tagged and identified by species. An Indiana native tree species list was developed and compared to the existing tree species in the arboretum. It was then determined how many native and exotic trees existed in the arboretum. Native tree species not existing in the arboretum were placed on a separate list to establish which native trees were needed to have a representative of each native tree in the arboretum.An open space analysis was conducted to determine potential planting areas within the arboretum and the number of additional native trees that could be planted in those spaces. Recommendations were provided for the selection and planting of native trees as part of the renovation process that can be used by the park administration.Department of Landscape Architecture

This study analyzed news coverage from the Indianapolis Star and The New York Times about the blockbuster drug Prozac® from the day it was approved on Dec. 29, 1987, until Dec. 31, 2006, to gain insights about whether the tone and prominence of news stories about Prozac changed over the duration of its 20 year lifecycle.A content analysis was used to evaluate whether stories were more favorable in tone during the first phase of Prozac's lifecycle, whether the tone of those stories became more negative as time passed, and, if it did, during which phase of Prozac's lifecycle that change in tone occurred.The findings from this study can assist public relations practitioners - particularly those who work in the pharmaceutical industry - in developing proactive and strategic media relations plans for consumer products such as prescription drugs and establishing more appropriate expectations and projected metrics.Department of Journalism

Full textAbstract:
This paper will discuss the development and architecture of an Indianapolis northside residential neighborhood. While the area was settled in the mid twentieth century. Consequently, the neighborhood has a broad spectrum of architectural styles ranging from pioneer vernacular Greek Revival to Tudor Revival.In spite of the fact that the area was the leading suburb of Indianapolis in the early twentieth century, little research has been done on the history and historic architecture of Meridian-Kessler. Examples of significant structures and architectural types will be presented in the context of the area. Elements or factors which unify the neighborhood will be discussed.Finally, the issues of historic preservation in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood will be examined. If the area is in fact historic, as the author believes then preservation measures are in order. The location and nature of the neighborhood pose a unique problem. Since the area is essentially a transitional urban/suburban district, methods of urban historic district preservation must be Modified for this special case. As historians and preservationists become reviewed. Historic increasingly aware of our early twentieth century heritage, a new terminology and approach must be acknowledged. This variation of a preservation or conservation district is termed by the author as "Suburban Preservation".Standard methods will be used to research and compose this thesis. For documentation of historic architecture, a series of Indianapolis Star articles titled "How Others Have Built" is an important source which must be a Thirty-eighth street Landmarks Foundation of Indiana is currently surveying the area; survey forms will provide much data on house types, styles and dates. Architectural archives, old records of firms active in the district and other published sources will provide further information. Planning data in the form of subarea plans andcooridor study have already been obtained for review. Plans for preservation districts in Indianapolis and other midwest cities will also be reviewed for possible application to Meridian-Kessler.Combined with field observations, the research should produce a document which places the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood in its proper historic context and aids in future planning for the area.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of suburbanization has contributed significantly to the decline of many larger urban centers in many countries. As a result, many cities have experienced deterioration of infrastructure, a climate of disinvestment, and other consequences such as population losses, high rates of unemployment, increased poverty rates, fiscal distress, housing and neighborhood deterioration, and a negative image. In response to the impact of suburban expansion, public and private sector entities have implemented downtown revitalization programs intended to attract more people and restore diverse socio-economic, historic, and cultural functions to the core. The city of Indianapolis, like many others, has been involved in revitalizing its downtown city core to reverse the decline that took place following the World War II. Using a partnership of a proactive city government, strong neighborhoods, good public services and concerned private corporations they came together with one goal in mind: to restore a critical element of the city that being a regional shopping center in downtown core.This creative project researches the history of the mall and evaluates its present attributes and liabilities. It also offers possible strategies of using the Circle Centre Mall as a part of a balanced downtown urban system specific to its core. Lastly, this study will present some of the possible strategies and solutions, which can be used to stimulate downtown, street-level businesses integrating Circle Centre Mall's positive impacts in the process. It also contains an analysis and discussion of other components of the downtown revitalization programs, including: economic benefits; downtown urban spaces; skyways systems; facilities connectors; and the decision-making process.From this analysis, conclusions will be drawn that present facts and solutions about keeping the positive impacts of the Circle Centre Mall co-existing with growth of other downtown businesses, specially at sidewalk level, thus supporting the overall activities of the downtown core.Department of Urban Planning

O'Brien, Michael Thomas. "Natural remnants in urban environments : a Marott Park design intervention." Virtual Press, 2002. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1230605.
Full textAbstract:
The processes by which urban areas come to be and evolve create outdoor spaces that experience different uses and have different characteristics over a period of time. For example, a space previously used for industrial purposes may presently be used as a community park. In some cases, a significant area of land may become a kind of leftover or remnant space whose uses are unclear, undefined, or unprogrammed, but exhibits natural characteristics. The purpose of this study is to utilize one of these natural remnants, Marott Park, in the cultural arts district of Broad Ripple in Indianapolis, Indiana as the basis for a design effort that provides access to the site while retaining both its site-specific and contextual characteristics. The intent of this effort is to enhance the community/pedestrian recreational, educational, and cultural experience through a detailed design for a portion of Marott Park. A set of recommendations also addresses the potential for connections between the site and other features such as existing open space, schools, and cultural features in the Indianapolis area.Department of Landscape Architecture

Rosenthal, Ashley A. "The British Arts and Crafts movement manifested in an American case study of Gustav Stickley's Craftsman architecture." Virtual Press, 2006. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1338880.
Full textAbstract:
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 materials and ornamental motifs. This study is particularly significant because original plans and documentation are available for research. The residence has had few owners and has therefore retained most of its original features and materials. These factors make the residence an exceptional example of Craftsman architecture.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This research and documentation project of surviving Indianapolis automobile factories examines the importance of Indianapolis, Indiana, as a center of automobile manufacturing in its early days. Automobile factories appeared in the city as early as 1895, and were often an outgrowth of bicycle or carriage-building companies. This followed a national trend. As the industry grew, Indianapolis firms continued to produce low-volume, high-quality cars instead of the more popular, low-cost cars being produced by Ford and other Michigan-based manufacturers. The recession of 1921 and the Great Depression of 1929 decimated the market for expensive cars and by 1937 all Indianapolis-based firms were out of the automobile business. A number of their production facilities remain and are employed in a variety of uses. This project documents these buildings and recommends a range of adaptive re-uses based on successful conversions.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has presented a comprehensive study on the abandonment of historic school buildings by the Indianapolis Public Schools system from 1970 to 1997. During this period, IPS closed or demolished sixty-four city schools representing nearly fifty-three percent of all Indianapolis public schools in 1970. The principal reason behind the facility closings was a dramatic decline in student enrollment beginning in 1967, but rapidly accelerating after 1970.Several factors contributed to this fall in public school rolls: lower birth rates, the unified government system (Unigov) that merged Indianapolis and Marion County administrative functions, and highway construction and urban renewal projects that cleared large areas of residential neighborhoods. The most significant factor, however, was court mandated integration of Indianapolis public schools in 1970, which led many white families to flee the IPS district and eventually resulted in one way, cross-district busing in 1981.The approaches adopted by Indianapolis Public School officials and the school board between 1970 and 1997, in response to the loss of student population, demonstrates an evolution of policy concerning historic school buildings in the city's inventory. During the early rounds of large scale closings, 1972-1975 and 1980-1981, IPS authorities specifically targeted older schools for closing. This policy changed during the last period of closings, 1995-1997, as some consideration was placed in closing decisions on school buildings' historic and architectural significance.Indianapolis Public School procedures governing the sale of surplus schools also went through a transformation between 1970 and 1997. Until recently, IPS was little concerned about the intended use of former schools by potential buyers. As a result, many historic school buildings were lost due to neglect or outright demolition. In 1997, however, Indianapolis school officials began to take responsibility for ensuring that historic schools leaving IPS's stewardship be preserved.Department of Architecture

Risen, Jeremy D. "Indianapolis department store architecture : the national and local development of the department store building type." Virtual Press, 2000. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1178347.
Full textAbstract:
The department store retailing concept grew out of the nineteenth century dry goods retail trade. Dry goods stores were usually housed in a group of nineteenth century commercial buildings. As the United States became more prosperous during the late nineteenth century, dry goods establishments outgrew their buildings and developed a new department store building type. The "second generation" store design was generally tripartite: large ground floor display windows, intermediate stories with regular banks of windows, and decorative upper one or two stories capped with an elaborate cornice. These flagship buildings were expanded and remodeled until the 1950s, when the focus of department store retailing shifted to the suburban branch stores. The branch stores anchored shopping centers in the 1950s and 1960s and enclosed shopping malls thereafter.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This study has determined the historical significance of the James A. Allison Estate as a designed historic landscape and suggested possible guidelines for future development at the site by the current owners, Marian College. Historical evidence indicated that the James A. Allison Estate was designed by noted landscape architect Jens Jensen of Chicago. This was proven through the identification of definable design elements utilized by Jensen in his design work. These included: reliance on native plants, manipulation of space, light and shadow, architectural features (pergolas and bridges), water features, a meadow, and a player's green and formal gardens. National Register Bulletin #18 was then used to determine that the James A. Allison estate could be classified as a designed historic landscape. Suggestions for the future treatment of the site, including guidelines for development, were then created.Department of Landscape Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The North Meridian Street Historic District, in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an area which still reflects the tastes and lifestyles of earlier decades in a contemporary urban setting. Listed in 1986 on the National Register of Historic Places, the district has been regulated by the Meridian Street Preservation Commission since 1971. The Commission, created through state legislation, was conducting design review in the district through nationally established guidelines, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. In order to more effectively protect and preserve the district, the Commission wished to establish a set of design guidelines specifically tailored to the North Meridian Street Historic District and its particular built and natural- characteristics. This project involved developing a set of design guidelines that would fulfill the needs and desires of the North Meridian Street Historic District, its preservation commission, and its property owners. Each district has its distinct resources and needs. A district's unique built and natural features are guidelines in themselves, but unless the principles and relationships that they represent are translated into words and pictures, many people will not recognize them as such. After researching and analyzing the architectural and environmental qualities of the district a draft set of design guidelines was developed and presented to the Meridian Street Preservation Commission for review. In response to comments and expressed concerns made at a series of public hearings held from March 1992 to August 1993, several rounds of revisions followed the initial presentation of the guidelines. The August 1993 version of the guidelines was adopted by the Commission in September 1993 and is currently in effect.Department of Architecture

Beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, a thriving German immigrant community could be found in the city of Indianapolis. The more liberal members of the German community established organizations which catered to their athletic, intellectual, and social needs. This community life was called Vereinsleben, from the German words for club/association (Verein) and life (Leben). Fitting homes were needed for the clubs. Thus, several structures central to the Vereinsleben of the liberal German community were constructed. The buildings were built to be recognized as the homes of these clubs and to provide all the necessary facilities. This thesis examines the history of the community as well as the individual clubs and uses the buildings as documents in that process.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This project researches the history of a demolished building and its material that was later salvaged to formulate suggestions for reuse and interpretation within a new structure. The specific case examined was Indianapolis's Oscar C. McCulloch School No. Five demolished in 1986. The architectural glazed terra cotta was rescued from the wreckage and is the focus of this study.This creative project traces the historical and architectural significance of School No. Five, including a discussion on the general history of terra cotta, its use and manufacturing and construction techniques, and how it specifically applies to School No. Five.Next the salvaged terra cotta from School No. Five were assessed in an eight step process. The results of the assessment show the type and extent of deterioration observed on each piece, including a discussion on the various causes of deterioration, general repair, conservation techniques, and finally specific recommendations for the salvaged terra cotta. The project concludes with several design options and interpretations of the reconstructed facade of School No. Five.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This project involved making a series of woodcut and intaglio prints based on Muncie's urban landscape. The idea of a generic specific - a place unique to one area yet readily recognized across the industrialized world as familiar - is introduced and explored. In addition the idea of impermanence and flux is discussed in terms of how the time that I am living in now has its own unique features that will be obsolete, ruins, or altogether forgotten in the next fifty to seventy-five years. The work also explores the aesthetic merits of buildings like gas stations and vehicles - objects that are generally unconsidered in that way. In completing this series a historical documentation of this period of time was created, valuable to both those living now and those to come.Department of Art

This dissertation portrays a research carried out with students of the Integrated Technical Course on Agropecu?ria PRO-EJA Indigenous of the Federal Institute of Amazonas - IFAM, in the Municipality of Tabatinga, located in the western part of the state of Amazonas. It has, among others, the purpose of proposing didactic strategies for the teaching and learning processes of Geometry, based on the relation of the contents of geometry with geometric patterns observed in the confection processes and handicrafts of the Ticuna indigenous peoples of the Umaria?? Indigenous Community, as well as suggest some pedagogical activities to be worked using these elements. The methodology of this work consists in the application of a questionnaire to evaluate the level of understanding and the importance of geometry for the students and for the course, in detailed observations of the student?s presentation during the seminars where the students presented results of their researches. The realization of craft workshops aiming to establish a relationship between the geometric patterns studied and those found in this process, and their possible application in problems of their daily life. During the seminars and in the confection activities it was noticed that the handicrafts facilitated the understanding of the basic contents of geometry because they are part of the socio-cultural context of the student. The satisfaction and motivation for the recognition of their culture were evidenced in the evaluation. In this way, it can be said that indigenous handicrafts can facilitate the teaching and learning processes of geometry for these students. This work also intends to make a modest contribution to the mathematics teachers of the indigenous schools with some suggestions of activities that can be developed by the students of the community with the intention of making the learning more meaningful and pleasant for the students and also to strengthen the traditional culture of the Ticunas
Esta disserta??o retrata uma pesquisa realizada com alunos do Curso T?cnico Integrado em Agropecu?ria PRO-EJA Ind?gena do Instituto Federal do Amazonas ? IFAM, situado no Munic?pio de Tabatinga, localizado no oeste do estado do Amazonas. Tem, entre outras, a finalidade de propor estrat?gias did?ticas para os processos de ensino e aprendizagem da Geometria, baseada na rela??o dos conte?dos de geometria com padr?es geom?tricos observados nos processos de confec??o e nos artesanatos dos povos ind?genas da etnia Ticuna da Comunidade ind?gena Umaria??, bem como sugerir algumas atividades pedag?gicas para serem trabalhadas utilizando esses elementos. A metodologia deste trabalho consiste na aplica??o de um question?rio para avaliar o n?vel de entendimento e a import?ncia da geometria para os alunos e para o curso, em observa??es detalhadas da apresenta??o dos alunos durante os semin?rios onde os discentes apresentaram resultados de suas pesquisas. A realiza??o de oficinas de confec??o de artesanatos visando estabelecer rela??o entre os padr?es geom?tricos estudados com os encontrados nesse processo, e sua poss?vel aplica??o em problemas do seu cotidiano. Durante os semin?rios e nas atividades de confec??o percebeu-se que os artesanatos facilitaram o entendimento dos conte?dos b?sicos de geometria por fazerem parte do contexto sociocultural do discente. A satisfa??o e motiva??o pelo reconhecimento de sua cultura foram evidenciados na avalia??o. Desta forma, pode-se afirmar que os artesanatos ind?genas, podem facilitar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem da geometria para estes discentes. Este trabalho pretende ainda dar uma modesta contribui??o aos docentes de matem?tica das escolas ind?genas com algumas sugest?es de atividades que podem ser desenvolvidas pelos alunos da comunidade com o intuito de tornar a aprendizagem mais significativa e prazerosa para os discentes e tamb?m fortalecer a cultura tradicional dos Ticunas.

Full textAbstract:
The Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood was and early twentieth century street
suburb in Indianapolis, Indiana. As the city grew, the neighborhood became surrounded
by development, leading many residents to move further into the suburbs. The result was
a distressed inner city community plagued by blight and crime. A subsection of the
neighborhood known as Meridian Park became a National Register Historic District in
1990 after renewed interest in the distinctive architectural character of the area. While
Meridian Park has thrived, the surrounding neighborhood has continued to struggle. The
goal of my thesis is explore the federal loan insurance programs, integration challenges at
Shortridge High School and in the city of Indianapolis, and differences in housing stock
as the three major causes for the race and class stratification that has occurred in the
Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood.Introduction : community neglect and disinvestment -- The development of Mapleton-Fall Creek : the town of Mapleton through the 1930s -- History of racial tension in Indiana and Indianapolis -- Federal loan insurance programs and suburbanization -- Integration challenges at Shortridge High School -- Desegregation in Indianapolis public schools -- After the desegregation order : the 1980s to today.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)This paper compares two new methods for estimating daytime population against two existing models within downtown Indianapolis in Marion County, Indiana. The two existing models consist of the 2009 USA Daytime Population model created by ESRI and the LandScan Global Population Project developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A parking study of downtown Indianapolis, as prepared by the City of Indianapolis, Division of Metropolitan Development, is the basis of the first new method of estimating daytime population. The second method is a direct count of the daytime population using a methodology previously developed. Additionally, these four population estimates will be compared when applied to a scenario involving a hypothetical toxic gas plume.

Full textAbstract:
The Indiana State Library and Historical Building, constructed in 1934, is an
outstanding example of stripped classicism and Art Deco. The ornament on both the
exterior and interior of the limestone structure portray the regional story of the
development of Indiana. The monumental building is the most well‐known work by
Indianapolis architectural firm Pierre and Wright. Little has been written on the
Indiana State Library and Historical Building and a comprehensive architectural
history has never before been compiled on this remarkable building.
The subject of research pertains to the original building only. Investigation
examines the architectural competition for the design, the construction process, the
numerous carvings, large stained glass windows, and four murals, and the
symbolism in the ornament of the Indiana State Library and Historical Building.
Through research at the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives and
using both primary and secondary resources, the motivation for much of the
ornament was discovered. Additionally, long forgotten details and symbolism were
recovered.
This research provides insight into the narrative as told by the architecture
and ornament of the building. It may assist in the research on the 1976 addition and
the 2002 renovation that has yet to be completed. Furthermore, it will likely aid in
future renovations and restorations of the building.Introduction -- Methodology -- Literature review -- A brief history -- The competition -- The architects -- Construction -- Materials -- Architectural style -- Exterior sculpture -- Leon Hermant sculptures -- Interior material -- Interior features and symbols -- Stained glass windows -- Murals -- J.
