This thesis draws on observations of user behaviors in Kansas State University’s North Quadrangle to propose a plaza design for a site within the quadrangle adjacent to Cardwell Hall. As a practical method for conducting environment-behavior research, the thesis gathered observations of moving and resting behaviors to understand the North Quadrangle’s current usages. The observations of moving behaviors provided evidence for identifying potential spaces within the North Quadrangle where a plaza might be designed and built. In turn, observations of resting behaviors provided an understanding of sitting and standing behaviors in the North Quadrangle plaza. In terms of research related to plaza behavior and design, the most significant work drawn upon was William Whyte’s The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces (Whyte, 1980). According to Whyte, a plaza is sociable if large numbers of people are drawn to it informally in the course of their everyday activities and movements. In this regard, the design aim of the proposed plaza is to promote sociability within the North Quadrangle by attracting pedestrians traversing the North Quadrangle’s busiest pathways and thus drawing them into the plaza. More specifically, to promote plaza sociability, the design makes use of the three most important plaza-design factors identified by Whyte: (1) location; (2) street-plaza relationship; and (3) seating. In other words, first, the plaza should be located near large pools of potential users; second, the plaza should be designed as an extension of the most heavily trafficked pathways; and third, the plaza should incorporate sitting opportunities for users via seating that is physically and socially comfortable. The behavioral observations and guidance provided by the literature review have been used to generate twelve design guidelines on which the proposed plaza design is based. The presentation of final plaza design incorporates explanations of these twelve guidelines followed by illustrated design schemes.

Abstract:

Millions of people live and work on college campuses everyday. The environment they dwell and interact with is essential to their quality of life and health. There is no doubt that the campus landscape is of great importance to millions of students, faculty, and staff on campus. Surrounding communities are also significantly affected by college campuses as colleges often provide education and social events, as well as economic activities. However, in the past, the design of campus landscape spaces have been overlooked or treated as a leftover of buildings, even though campus landscape spaces are more than the â facesâ of colleges.

With more and more colleges and universities expanding and redesigning their landscape spaces, the design of campus landscape space has gained more recognition in the recent twenty years. One of the significant changes in the design process is the taking of usersâ needs/concerns into account. This change is influenced by a community-based design concept found in Active Living and Public Spaces design. While Active Living and Public Spaces design emphasizes the importance of user involvement and different techniques in soliciting user input, there is a missing link between user input and the design program elements.

In this thesis, I examine the past practice of campus landscape space design and propose using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to fill in this missing link. QFD has been used in various industries, including service and manufacturing, for years. It emphasizes the importance of taking usersâ needs, called Voice of Customers (VOC), into the design process. The employment of different matrices to capture the relationship between VOC and subsequent design and quality characteristics makes QFD a unique framework suitable to fill the gap in the current design process.

A case study of campus landscape space design is conducted to examine the applicability of QFD in campus landscape space design, including the advantages, the obstacles, and the unique condition of using QFD in landscape design. The study yields several insights on the application of QFD in campus landscape space design, which are applicable in other landscape design projects.

Abstract:
The current study is an empirical study of preference for campus open space around the drill field on Mississippi State University (MSU) campus. 83 students at Mississippi State University were selected as research objects. Based on the literature review, a research process was designed to employ VEP, content analysis and multivariate analysis---Biplot to explore the interested research problems. The study identified two most preferred landscape scene types - "Legibility" and "Coherence" using Kaplan?s "information processing model". A statistical analysis tool for multivariate analysis-Biplot was used to reveal the landscape preference patterns for campus open space as well as how certain landscape features can contribute these patterns. The study found factors such as gender, educational and cultural background can heavily affect these patterns. The result indicated that "vegetations" including tree, seasonal flowers and open grassland, were the most preferred landscape feature on campus open space. Finally, the limitations of this study were discussed and some recommendations for future landscape preference study were provided.

Abstract:
KTH Campus is open to the city but when we walk around we feel it is very isolated. Most people gather in the south square or in the triangle park in the middle. These two gathering points are separated from each other. Drottning Kristinas Väg acts as a quick path for cars. Along this road there are many empty outdoor spaces but most of them are not used by people. It is such a waste. Then how to make better use of the existing parks or squares and how to use parks or squares as linkage of public spaces are what I want to explore.

Abstract:
The goal of this study was to explore the beginnings of higher education for freed slaves after the Civil War as reflected in the development of the built environment of one of the earliest and most prominent of the historically Black colleges, Hampton Institute. The main purpose was to study the way in which campus planning was implemented at Hampton, its intentions and effects. The study had three hypotheses: (1) a master plan for the development of the campus of Hampton Institute was created by its founder, (2) this master plan was followed by the administration and builders during the early stages of the school's development and (3) the founder of Hampton Institute was aware of the symbolism of the architecture and used it intentionally to create a sense of specialness and to inspire strong attachment among the students of the school.;The study of numerous original documents available in the Hampton University Archives revealed answers to these questions. First, there is ample evidence that a master plan did exist for the development of Hampton's campus and that it was, to a large degree followed. The architectural intentions of Hampton's principal revealed a great deal about the beginnings of Negro education and the controversy which existed concerning the type of education which was best suited to the needs of Blacks. They also reflect the unique mission of the early Black schools. Hampton was the model for many schools which espoused one view of the type of education which would best prepare Blacks to take their place in post war society and, therefore, was an appropriate subject for this study.;The study also revealed certain common characteristics which, when present, produce coherent, consistent campus planning. This information is important for present day administrators trying to promote effective decision making regarding campus growth.;The extension of this study to include other prominent Black schools would provide valuable insights into the evolution of higher education for Blacks. These schools were shaped by their unique mission which was in turn shaped by the unique educational needs of the group they were founded to serve.

Abstract:
Focusing on human interaction with the dense built environment in a city, this essay exploresthe experienced space, i.e. the physical built space and the perceived space as one dimension.From this perspective, the essay considers the visual information that the built environmentprojects. The essay proposes a theorem for understanding and categorizing architecture basedon its potential diversity of activities that the building encapsulates. The ability to interpretand challenge the perceived understanding of the built environment supplies the basis for thekey concept of this essay: multi-faceted architecture.In this essay, multi-faceted architecture is a motto for architectural design and planning, andderives from the fact that the very meaning of a function for a given piece of architecture issomething that needs to be addressed further by the architect, designer or other buildingexperts. As our modern cities expand at an ever-increasingly higher speed, the need for publicspace with a multi-faceted architecture is needed more than before. Firstly, the essay definesthe concept of multi-faceted architecture and its constituents. Secondly, the essay supplies aframework for analysing Multifaceted architecture and a way of categorizing it. This essayaims at opening a deeper dialogue on architectural quality based upon theory from currentarchitectural theorists and architectural theory. The essay uses a sociological perspective tounderstand why appropriate architecture, in the context of the surrounding environment, canlead to a more successful activation of a given space. To test the theorem that concernsmulti-faceted architecture, the theorem is applied and tested in the old city of Malmö. Due tothe COVID-19 virus outbreak, these tests have been executed virtually. Thirdly, this essayreflects upon the role of multi-faceted architecture in a modern city.

Abstract:
Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing is the Japanese art of using the forest to relax. The process takes about two hours to absorb the full benefits of the forest. This does not provide for an easy way to decompress if you are living or working in an urban environment. The expansion of urbanism and decrease of green space across the country only furthers the inaccessibility someone might face if they seek nature as their destination to destress. There needs to be a more accessible way to alleviate the harmful effects of stress in an urban atmosphere. The health benefits from nature are numerous. This thesis focuses on the ways landscape can quiet the mind and aid in calming the psychological stressors of a person living in an urban environment. The use of expanse, beauty, and phytoncides combine together to create the zones of this soothing landscape park. The importance of finding a way to create a safe, healing environment is critical to the development of this site. Multiple design ideologies are implemented to create a space that will aid in reducing strain on the brain's cognitive load capacity. This thesis shapes a park that provides a calming and soothing escape for any person who seeks twenty minutes to relax and decompress before returning to their work day. The Carlyle Solace Park is an example of how a therapeutic space can be created in an urban environment.
Master of Landscape Architecture
Stress is debilitating. Mental illnesses are often incapacitating. 'The brain has a mind of its own' is in fact no joke. Managing a person's mental health in an urban environment is not easy. Smog, car horns, traffic, office chatter, the smell of dumpsters or cigarettes as you walk down the street. None of this will help someone when they are going through a depressive episode, a panic or anxiety, or have exceeded the amount of stress their body can handle. There has to be a way to create a space that calms the mind and allows for reconnecting with your senses in the environment. The Japanese call it shinrin-yoku or forest bathing. Forests are used to alleviate the pressures of day to day stress and other mental or psychological ailments. To truly benefit from shinrin-yoku, one must spend two hours amongst the trees in the forest. This does not provide for an easy way to decompress if you are living or working in an urban environment. This thesis explores the benefits of three landscape types to create a park that can provide solace to the person who is struggling with stress or a mental illness. The brain can be uncontrollable. It is important to find a way to relieve the pressures placed on it. Nature is healing. Cities need to maximize therapeutic effects of nature in their green spaces. The Carlyle Solace Park, designed in this thesis, is an example of how a therapeutic space can be created in an urban environment.

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1989.
Includes bibliographical references (v. 2, leaves 287-299).
Hospitals are most useful material for architectural research for they exhibit all the problems encountered in other building types in an acute and easily measurable form. Health Care Facilities house the greatest range of functions within their operations and are subject to continuous changes through their life spans, requiring specific design strategies aimed at flexibility. These functions include offices, training schools, factories, warehouses, residential buildings, restaurants, etc. as well as many specifically clinical departments like operating theatres and pathology laboratories. The range of functions demand first, a wide variety and highly sophisticated services, which amounts to more than 40% of the building volume; and second, a high degree of interdependence and uncertainty in future uses. In this context, there are three overriding requirements in hospitals: fast design, provision for change & growth, and lifecycle economy. Interstitial Space is considered as a solution to these demands and found to be an appropriate design response. The Systems Approach is used as the methodology to analyze and organize the design and construction process within the general frame of systems thinking. Sources of information include all major reports and studies on the concept of Interstitial Space published in US, Canada, and UK; and inputs from professionals of health care planning firms in New York and the Boston area on the general issue of flexibility, and on the Interstitial Space concept in particular. This thesis is organized in three parts, each with three sections. Part one provides a reference to the General Systems Theory, a description of the Systems Approach and the performance concept in buildings. Part two addresses the problem of hospital design: first, it presents the general process of hospital planning; second, it discusses the problem of changes occurring in Health Care Facilities during their life spans; and third, a summary of design strategies for flexibility follows. Within this frame of analysis, part three discusses the Interstitial Space concept. First, the basic arguments leadings to its application; second, the design considerations in light of the different subsystems building up the system; and third, life-cycle cost implications.

This dissertation is inspired by the age of digital media as a mode of cultural production. This project aims to uncover how social interaction is shaped by digital space and its effects on physical space. This is an exploration of an architecture which mediates between the tensions and contradictions that exist between a digital and physical dimension. I believe today's culture is largely driven by the use of digital and social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc. Through the use of digital media, people are able to consume and produce material (online) simultaneously and collaboratively. I believe this has transformed the manner in which people communicate and establish their sense of identity. Digital media has also made way for the concept of globalisation, where people are brought closer through instant and rapid forms of network communication, thus contesting and collapsing the reality of distance and physical boundaries. According to Virilio (2012:73), “...we must at least resolve ourselves to losing the sense of our senses, common sense and certainties, in the material of representation. We must be ready to lose our morphological illusions about physical dimensions...". This indicates that there is a tension between the formal environment and digital space. In this age of digitalisation, the human artefact and its mode of communication is changing: with it, so will our physical environments. This dissertation seeks to negotiate between these two dimensions, through the architecture and its programmatic response in relation to the urban context of Cape Town city centre.

Full text
Abstract:

Political protest is an increasingly frequent occurrence in urban public space. During times of protest, the use of urban space transforms according to special regulatory circumstances and dictates. The reorganization of economic relationships under neoliberalism carries with it changes in the regulation of urban space. Environmental design is part of the toolkit of protest control.

Existing literature on the interrelation of protest, policing, and urban space can be broken down into four general categories: radical politics, criminological, technocratic, and technicalprofessional. Each of these bodies of literature problematizes core ideas of crowds, space, and protest differently. This leads to entirely different philosophical and methodological approaches to protests from different parties and agencies.

This paper approaches protest, policing, and urban space using a critical-theoretical methodology coupled with person-environment relations methods. This paper examines political protest at American Presidential National Conventions. Using genealogical-historical analysis and discourse analysis, this paper examines two historical protest event-sites to develop baselines for comparison: Chicago 1968 and Dallas 1984. Two contemporary protest event-sites are examined using direct observation and discourse analysis: Denver 2008 and St. Paul 2008.

Results show that modes of protest policing are products of dominant socioeconomic models of society, influenced by local policing culture and historical context. Each of the protest event-sites studied represents a crisis in policing and the beginning of a transformation in modes of protest policing. Central to protest policing is the concept of territorial control; means to achieve this control vary by mode of protest policing, which varies according to dominant socioeconomic model. Protesters used a variety of spatial strategies at varying degrees of organization. Both protesters and police developed innovations in spatial practice in order to make their activities more effective.

This has significant consequences for professionalized urban design. Both protester and policing spatial innovation involves the tactical reorganization and occupation of urban space. As urban space plays a constituent role in protest and policing, environmental designers must be aware of the political consequences of their designs.

Abstract:
This study focused on using a mapping tool, Space Syntax, to analyze the connectivity of the Cache County road network and its use to plan for bicycles. Space Syntax is being compared to another method that is already used by city planners called Bicycle Level of Service, or BLOS. The two analyses used data from Cache County and, after they were modeled and evaluated, a statistical analysis was done to see how similar one is to the other. The analyses were done at both a regional and a local scale. At both scales the analyses were not similar. Data was added to the Space Syntax analysis at both scales to see if it would influence making it more similar to BLOS. Adding the data had no effect in making them similar. It was determined that Space Syntax and BLOS are not similar and more research would need to be done to attempt to make them similar. They both have advantages and disadvantages to them when being used for planning for bicycles. One is not necessarily better than the other, as they are two different methods that could be used.

The 34 silos at Jarlaberg today contain crude oil but after the lease of land expires at 2036 are refurbished and remade to hold 2 500 000 m3 of water from Stockholm archipelago. Sharing the industrial plot of the reworked silos are 13 buildings with 2000 households between them. At the shores of the rocky hills is a new landmark with two swirling metal structures reflecting daylight and the shining light from the structure bellow. The building contains two hydro turbines, with the glass roofs and metal vortexes above, a landmark to be seen from both the built plateaus above and the opposite side shores as a celebration of the renewable energy progress of 2030-2050.  The project started as a look at industrial architecture and its relation to city spaces. Specifically the implementation of a stored capacity hydropower solution if placed close to major city centers which demanding more, renewable energy. At first the ambition was to integrate a series of turbines to the new Slussen water outlet from Mälaren to Saltsjön but after further readings the theme of letting the industries society’s development  is dependent upon be a part in planning the cities expansion. To join a industrial function to a housing plan would make a large impact on the urban space in-between the two. To both make a bond but also show the story of the production of energy the project provides. The sides of the silos have been fitted with a series of stepped gradients for seating and to access the top of the water reservoirs.

The literature on early planning history tends to document the 'progress' made at the turn of twentieth century through the scientific study and rationalization of urban space. Through a detailed study of two areas in early immigrant Toronto, another side of planning's history is told: the stories about the relationship between social control and the transformation of the city. Toronto is particularly relevant as it has undergone rapid social change through the twentieth century, from an almost exclusively British colonial town to one of the world's most ethnically diverse cities. Two areas form the basis for the study: the Ward and Niagara. While the Ward originated as land given as 'Park Lots' to aristocracy as gifts for relocating to the nascent town, Niagara originated as a Military Reserve. Thus, the Ward's development was the function of the market, while Niagara was largely state-controlled. Ten groups of places form the nexus for the stories, forming a broad spectrum of institutions: abattoir, asylum, boardinghouse, church, city hall, playground, prison, synagogue, tavern, and theater. Each story focuses on a particular form of social or moral problem in the city and traces the response by the state and civil society. The stories document the responses to perceived 'others' in the emerging industrial city -- concepts of 'other' based on race, ethnicity, class, health, religion, sexuality, lifestyle, even the choice of housing. In tracing the efforts by the state and civil society to control the social values and morals of the population, something of a 'pre-history' of planning is illustrated. The creation of new institutions, new planning mechanisms and new comprehensive 'plans' resulted in the simultaneous consolidation of 'other' people and practices into undesirable areas (Niagara) and the dispersal of the same where they existed in more vital parts of the city (the Ward). The study situates the specific responses in Toronto within the larger movements taking place throughout North America -- movements that formed the basis for the origins of the modern planning system. The study hypothesizes that the confrontation with the 'abject other', that is, those peoples, practices and places that departed from the social norm, was foundational to the modern planning system.

Recent researches on campus learning environments present that there is a seeking for alternative learning spaces among students. Researches argue that more learning is taking place outside of class time than ever before. With an increased emphasis on collaboration and group projects, students are learning in small groups outside of the classrooms as they accomplish work related to their courses. Literature defines these experiences as &lsquo
informal learning&rsquo
. Therewithal, campus open spaces are one of the major areas where students prefer for their informal learning experiences. This thesis aims to search the influence of campus open space design on students&rsquo
learning experiences. Additionally, it argues that there is a strong relation between the learning and the space where learning action occurs. In doing this, it both covers a theoretical framework and a case study. Within the theoretical part, it discusses various learning theories with respect to the prominent principles for each theory. It reveals learning space design indicators which affects learning both in indoor and outdoor learning environments. In the case study, with the analysis of different sample areas from METU campus, the study both investigates the learning experiences actualized on campus open spaces and the triggering design indicators which enhance these experiences.

In this thesis I strive to explore the question, "what is good architecture?" through the design of a facility for formal and informal musical and theatrical performance. The site for this project is in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the Southeast comer of Massachusetts Avenue and Prospect Street. The program of the design includes a multi-use theater supported by first and second level commercial retail space, a multi-floored office space, and integrated subway station, each included to encourage pedestrian traffic and generate revenue. Additionally, the facility includes a jazz club, a folk room, and a rock club. The final product is a hybrid of existing facilities and ideas developed with prospective facility users; I have made efforts to take advantage of the knowledge and ideas of some users in determining the program and design. The facility aims to encourage and facilitate community integration with use-specific and non-use specific elements. It aims to strengthen the pattern of public gathering now inhibited by the spatial arrangement of the area. Among the important areas of inquiry, I focus considerable attention on the outdoor and semi-outdoor public space of the facility. The design intends to generate an eddying effect on the linear flow of pedestrian traffic down Massachusetts Avenue. By providing areas for street performers with sheltered seating and standing areas for itinerant audiences, this space intends to take on a theatric and communal character. To achieve the goals set out above I have drawn upon a process involving design, theory, and precedent models falling under three main categories. Design Precedents: -Theaters; -Music Halls; -Night Clubs. Organizational Design Precedents: -User Involved Design Tools; -User Involved Design Precedents. Inventive Programming Precedents: -Personal Account of Inventive Process; -Case investigation.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture and Planning, 1995.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 260-263).
In this thesis an architectural design theory is premised so that plan making can start from a 'space scheme' which is a description of 'hierarchic balloon representation'. The space organization of a plan is described in hierarchic balloon representation in terms of a part/whole hierarchy of adumbrated space units. The information processing from bitmap representation of a plan image to hierarchic balloon representation of a space scheme is proposed to have two intermediate representations: FEB representation and primitive balloon representation. The purpose of constructing an FEB representation is to provide a principled ground for space identification. The idea of the FEB representation originates from the simulation of the directional inclination resulting from imaginary space perception in a plan. The primitive balloon representation is constructed to explicate the process of identifying and describing space primitives in a plan. The primitive balloon representation is so named because space primitives are described by extending the basin core outward which resembles the process of inflating a balloon. Hierarchic balloon representation differs from both FEB representation and primitive balloon representation in that it is dependent on primitive balloon representation by using the transform algorithm of deriving FEB representation but it also allows optional modifications.
