Full textAbstract:
In Japan, the basics of living are described as three main elements; clothing, food, and shelter. These elements involve simple daily activities such as changing clothes in the morning, eating lunch, and sleeping at night. It may easily become a mundane topic since they are woven into our daily routines. Nevertheless, a moment in one's day may become joyful when we reconsider and play with the ordinary.
The first trace of a dwelling in Japan is a pit shelter. People dug a circular pit in the ground, placed sticks vertically at the perimeter of the pit, and covered it with straws to make a roof. The dwelling protected people from the weather, animals and other tribes. The function of architecture may be as simple as that. Today, the purpose of making architecture is not dramatically different from the ancient times, yet the technology in our profession as well as in our daily routines have developed over thousands of years and changed the way of life.
Today, one may easily get trapped in the graphical or stylish looks of architecture and ignore the fundamental reason to make architecture. Making architecture is quite an ordinary act. My intention for this thesis is to examine my daily activities and concerns and extract the essence of the Architecture that beautifully fulfills the function. I believe Architecture strongly influences people's experiences and feelings, and goal as a designer is to orchestrate spaces which will make one's ordinary day into an extraordinary one.Master of Architecture

This thesis looks at the problem of border delineations and walls within a modern context and proposes the use of borders for functions supplementary to border control and security – such as local commerce, cultural spaces, tourism, hospitality, and public gathering places. Border delineations and walls have been used to protect cities and towns throughout history. In the present age of modern surveillance and advanced military technology however, physical walls have much less significance for the protection of present-day states and nations and have become artifacts of mostly symbolic significance. In an increasingly connected world with the potential for becoming more compassionate, the symbolic significance of the border wall, barrier, and delineation demands to be reassessed and reapproached. This opens the possibility of designing a new binational border typology with functions of business, tourism, cultural education, hospitality, and public assembly that can mutually benefit bordering regions. Spatial justice involves the fair and equitable distribution within a space of resources and opportunities. The site of this thesis is the 1949 Armistice Agreement, or Green Line, on the perimeter of the West Bank of Palestine – a prolonged border conflict of our time and a powerful example of spatial injustice. Through a combination of ancient and modern materials, this thesis explores the potential of hospitality through the design of a roadside inn to recognize the history of its place and create a physical and symbolic bridge for future cooperation. In addition to lodging for travelers, the project's program, or scope of work, includes a museum, artist workshops, dining areas, gift shops, and gathering spaces.

Jalali, Mazlouman Shahrzad. "A frequency-translating hybrid architecture for wideband analog-to-digital converters." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/2745.
Full textAbstract:
Many emerging applications call for wideband analog-to-digital converters and some require medium-to-high resolution. Incorporating such ADCs allows for shifting as much of the signal processing tasks as possible to the digital domain, where more flexible and programmable circuits are available. However, realizing such ADCs with the existing single stage architectures is very challenging. Therefore, parallel ADC architectures such as time-interleaved structures are used. Unfortunately, such architectures require high-speed high-precision sample-and-hold (S/H) stages that are challenging to implement.
In this thesis, a parallel ADC architecture, namely, the frequency-translating hybrid ADC (FTH-ADC) is proposed to increase the conversion speed of the ADCs, which is also suitable for applications requiring medium-to-high resolution ADCs. This architecture addresses the sampling problem by sampling on narrowband baseband subchannels, i.e., sampling is accomplished after splitting the wideband input signals into narrower subbands and frequency-translating them into baseband where identical narrowband baseband S/Hs can be used. Therefore, lower-speed, lower-precision S/Hs are required and single-chip CMOS implementation of the entire ADC is possible.
A proof of concept board-level implementation of the FTH-ADC is used to analyze the effects of major analog non-idealities and errors. Error measurement and compensation methods are presented. Using four 8-bit, 100 MHz subband ADCs, four 25 MHz Butterworth filters, two 64-tap FIR reconstruction filters, and four 10-tap FIR compensation filters, a total system with an effective sample rate of 200 MHz is implemented with an effective number of bits of at least 7 bits over the entire 100 MHz input bandwidth.
In addition, one path of an 8-GHz, 4-bit, FTH-ADC system, including a highly-linear mixer and a 5th-order, 1 GHz, Butterworth Gm-C filter, is implemented in a 90 nm CMOS technology. Followed by a 4-bit, 4-GHz subband ADC, the blocks consume a total power of 52 mW from a 1.2 V supply, and occupy an area of 0.05 mm2. The mixer-filter has a THD ≤ 5% (26 dB) over its full 1 GHz bandwidth and provides a signal with a voltage swing of 350 mVpp for the subsequent ADC stage.

Full textAbstract:
Une analyse de données de sondeur multifaisceaux, de sondeur de sédiments (Chirp) et de sismique multitraces, présente la morphologie et la dynamique sédimentaire actuelle ainsi que l’évolution architecturale et stratigraphique du Néogène-Quaternaire opérant le long d’une marge leeward, au nord-ouest du Great Bahama Bank. L’analyse morpho-bathymétrique révèle un talus dominé par de la boue aragonitique, et une grande variété de structures sédimentaires, liées à des processus hydrodynamiques diversifiés. Les courants de density cascading associés aux courants de marée et aux vents d’est représentent les mécanismes de transports édimentaire dominant le long de la marge. La zone de Bimini présente localement un talus court et abrupt,stabilisé en bordure de plate-forme par une barrière récifale, ce qui limite l’export off-bank de sédiments.L’architecture stratigraphique montre une évolution complexe du talus au cours du Néogène. La fin du Paléogène est marquée par un talus continu aggradant détaché de la plate-forme par un escarpement sur faille. Ilpasse à un système très peu incliné de type slope-apron, attaché à la plate-forme au Miocène et se termine par un système en accrétion fortement incliné au Pléistocène. Bien que les dépôts de talus soient dominés par de la boue, ils présentent des variations latérales rapides du Sud au Nord tout au long du Néogène (< 30 km) avec la mise en place de tabliers turbiditiques, de nappes de débrites, et de larges Mass Transport Complexes. Ces faciès interagissent depuis le Langhien avec le Santaren Drift qui s’étend et migre progressivement le long du talus jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Le maximum d’empiétement des contourites se produit au Pliocène supérieur et coïncide avec une réorganisation océanographique globale ainsi que des changements climatiques majeurs dans l’hémisphère nord liés à la fermeture de la Central American SeawayAn analysis of multi-beam echo sounder, sub-bottom profiler (Chirp) and multichannel seismic,highligths the present-day sedimentary dynamics and the Neogene-Quaternary architectural and stratigraphicevolution along the northwestern leeward margin of the Great Bahama Bank.The morpho-bathymetric analysis reveals an aragonite mud-dominated slope, and a broad spectrum ofsedimentary structures, related to various hydrodynamic processes. The density cascading currents associatedwith tidal currents and prevailing easterly winds correspond to the dominant transport mechanisms operatingalong the margin. The Bimini area displays a short and steep slope, stabilized at shelf edge by rimmed reefalbarrier, which constrains the off-bank export of materials.The stratigraphic architecture shows a complex evolution of the slope during the Neogene. The end ofthe Paleogene is marked by a continuous aggrading slope detached from the shelf by a fault escarpment. It passesinto a low angle slope-apron attached to the platform in the Miocene, and ends with an accretionary system witha steepened slope in the Pleistocene. Although the slope deposits are mud-dominated, they show rapid lateralvariations (< 30 km) from South to North throughout the Neogene with the establishment of turbidite aprons,debrite layers and large Mass Transport Complexes. These facies interact since the Langhian with the SantarenDrift which gradually extends and migrates along the slope until today. The maximum extent of the drift occursduring the upper Pliocene and coincides with a global oceanographic reorganization and major climate changesin the northern hemisphere, related to the closure of the Central American Seaway

Full textAbstract:
Throughout history a sense of identity has been considered an essential human need in the search for significant existence. Each environment contains distinctive physical objects of historical, cultural, religious, social and economic significance, which give each place its uniqueness. Personal or group identity is expressed in part, therefore, through the identity of the built environment. This study attempts to understand and interpret the expression of identity in the built environment in a country under colonial rule through an examination of the Palestinian villages in the West Bank, which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. The main aim of the study is to identify the physical features that represent the Palestinian identity and the changes that have taken place in the built environment in the present century. In order to understand the complexity of the issue, the study examines the factors which have influenced the development of the built environment. Special attention has been given to the impact of the Israeli occupation. The research approach has been both qualitative and quantitative, and ranges from the general to the specific, and from macro-level to micro-level. The methods used to collect information include: personal observations, semi-structured interviews, repertory grid technique, experiments with students and examination of proverbs, folk songs, poetry and art. For in-depth investigation, a case study village was chosen, namely Arraba in the northern part of the West Bank. The study starts by comparing the traditional and the contemporary quarters and identifies the features that represent the identity of the Palestinian village. Then, it examines the development of the village house from the traditional to the contemporary. The study reveals that the traditional house has a clear identity, while the identity of the contemporary house is ambiguous. In addition, this research uses the repertory grid technique to identify the features of the exterior of the house and of the interior of the guest room that reflect the Palestinian identity. Findings reveal that people perceive certain constructs as Palestinian according to their meanings, characteristics and the surrounding context. The study concludes by noting the emerging awareness among Palestinians of identity in contemporary house-building practice in the West Bank, because of a threatened loss of identity as a result of the dramatic changes that are occuring in the built environment. It also provides feedback about the existing identity of the region in order to translate the insights gained into practical solutions.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines WHY and HOW a new approach to Enterprise Strategy and IT planning can be adopted in the European national financial sector by using Enterprise Architecture (EA). EA has been promoted as a key tool for transformation and modernisation of the enterprise. By following best practices from successful case studies and the European Central Bank (ECB), the claim is that the adoption of EA will ensure that IT resources and business processes are planned, leveraged, and coordinated better in national financial sectors. In our five supporting papers, several qualitative case studies in Europe were investigated by applying an interpretive perspective. According to common belief EA connects business and IT; it is an important tool for survival and growth. Many EA endeavours, however, fail. The question is how can risks of EA implementation failure be reduced at an early stage? Underlying questions concern: why would a particular organisation need EA, can implementation risks be identified and are solutions available to reduce the failure rate? In order to answer research questions a literature study is performed to build the Business Transformation Enablement Program framework (BTEP). It advocates deliberate motivation, active risk management and an iterative and incremental implementation of EA. Next to the literature, the framework is validated through the Small National Bank (SNB) implementation. Data was collected in both structured, semi-structured and ad-hoc methods. Grounded theory techniques were used to analyse the data logically, using existing theory only as prior constructs. The theoretical abstractions, generalisations and experience generated in the research process have been published and availed to specialised groups.

Cette étude présente les architectures et la dynamique sédimentaire de la pente carbonatée au nord de Little Bahama Bank (Bahamas) à partir des données de sondeur multifaisceaux, de sondeur de sédiments (Chirp) et de sismique multitraces Haute Résolution (HR) issues de la mission Carambar 1(2010). Une analyse morpho-sédimentaire de surface permet de définir les grands domaines physiographiques et les éléments architecturaux de la pente et précise la répartition spatiale des sédiments dans le contexte actuel de haut niveau marin relatif. Elle révèle une pente dominée par de la boue de périplate-forme avec différents niveaux d’induration et entaillée par des glissements et des canyons sous marins.La variabilité spatiale du transfert de boue depuis la plate-forme vers la pente, couplée à l’évolution latérale de l’intensité du courant des Antilles est à l’origine de grandes différences morphologiques d’est en ouest. Dans la partie occidentale, la pente est environ deux fois plus étendue que dans la partie orientale,elle s’apparente à un système progradant. La pente orientale, quant à elle, est marquée par des processus de bypass. En effet, cette partie est caractérisée par de nombreux canyons sous-marins se poursuivant par des sillons distributaires alimentant des zones de dépôts distales confinées. Une étude intégrée permet la caractérisation à haute résolution des glissements et des canyons et la proposition d’un modèle déformation. Ces éléments architecturaux sont initiés par des déstabilisations intra-pente et leur évolution est contrôlée par des épisodes d’érosion régressive, la sédimentation pélagique et les écoulements gravitaires boueux. Enfin, une analyse sismo-stratigraphique permet de reconstituer l’évolution tectono-sédimentaire de la pente de l’Albien à l’Actuel en lien avec le contexte géodynamique des Caraïbes, l’eustatisme et la production carbonatée sur la plate-formeThis study focuses on the architectures and the sedimentary dynamic of a carbonate slope located on the northern part of Little Bahama Bank (Bahamas) using a dataset composed of multibeam echo sounder,subbottom profiler (Chirp) and High-Resolution (HR) multichannel seismic collected during the Carambar 1cruise (2010). A morpho-sedimentary surface analysis defines the physiographic domains and the architectural elements of the slope and investigates the spatial distribution of sediments in the context of the current sea-level highstand. It reveals a slope dominated by periplatform ooze with several levels of induration and incised by numerous slides and submarine canyons. The spatial variability of off-bank transport, combined with the lateral variability of the Antilles Current intensity, are at the origin of a morphological evolution from west to east in the study area. In the western part, the slope is around twice as large as the eastern part and can be considered as a prograding system. The eastern slope is marked by bypass processes. Indeed, numerous submarine canyons are visible on the seafloor and are connected to several shallow distributary furrows feeding confined depositional areas. An integrated study allows a high resolution characterisation of slides and submarines canyons and enables us to propose a model of formation. These architectural elements are initiated by intra-slope destabilisations and their evolution is controlled by phases of retrogressive erosion,pelagic sedimentation and muddy gravity flows. Finally, a seismo-stratigraphic analysis allow to reconstitutethe tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the slope since the Albian to the present-day by establishing a link with the geodynamic context of Caraïbes, relative sea-level changes and the carbonate production on the platform

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a new bio-inspired filterbank-architecture termed 'OZGF-with-LI' for the signal processing in cochlear implants (CIs), and its ultra-low-power analog very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) implementation. The OZGF-with-LI system provides a potential solution to the noise susceptibility of current CI users by simulating the lateral inhibition (LI) - a biological spectral-enhancement mechanism that may partly account for the high noise robustness of the human auditory system but is missing in current CIs - as a soft local 'winner-take-all' link between different frequency regions in the input spectrum. It performs multi-channel syllabic compression via automatic gain control (AGC) while preserving well the spectral contrast and hence the original spectral features of the system input - an advantage over the compression scheme used in current CIs, which degrades spectral contrast and thus impairs the ability of CI users to pick out the spectral peaks (features) as the identity of various speech sounds embedded in noise. Two perceptual tests via acoustic simulation of CIs verified the benefits of the proposed system: the simulated LI provided a substantial benefit for listening to speech presented in noise. The proposed architecture was explicitly designed to be amenable to low-power analog VLSI implementations. This thesis reports such a silicon integrated-circuit (IC) prototype of the OZGF-with-LI system fabricated in the commercially available 0.35μm AMS CMOS process, with a power consumption of 28μW and an input dynamic range of 92dB. This system has potential for use in fully implantable CIs of the future, which have very stringent requirements on the power consumption for signal processing.

The thesis deals with banking data warehouse and the factors which influence their architecture. The goal of the thesis is to analyze the influence by fulfilling the three partial goals -- defining banks' requirements on data warehouses, analyzing a data warehouse in the real banking environment and making a comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. First, the thesis briefly introduces elements of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing. Second, after deducing reasons for BI implementation in commercial banks, the requirements on data warehouse are synthesized and their impacts on the data warehouse architecture are analyzed. Finally, conclusions of the thesis are applied on creation of the survey which enables comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. The thesis applies the theory of relationship between BI maturity, requirements on BI and data warehouse architecture and creates a tool for evaluating and comparing the data warehouses of banks with respect to bank's BI maturity and predisposition for a particular architecture. The tool can serve as a basis for a general tool able to compare data warehouses in other branches of economy and can help to better understand relations between organizations' need for information, BI solutions used and underlying data warehouses.

The original purpose of this investigation was to develop streambank erosion prediction curves for Northeast Kansas streams. Rosgen's (2001, 2006) methods were employed and eighteen study banks were measured and monitored over a four-year period, summer 2007 through summer 2010. At each study bank, a toe pin and two to three bank pins were set at a recorded longitudinal profile station of the stream. Vertical and horizontal measures from the toe pin to the bank face were taken each summer, 2007 as the baseline measure and 2008 - 2010 as bank change years. Bank profiles were overlaid to gain insight into bank area lost or gained due to erosional or depositional processes. A Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and Near Bank Stress (NBS) combination rating was assessed and calculated for each study bank during the initial survey of 2007. The streambanks experienced varied erosion rates for similar BEHI/NBS combinations producing R2 values from 0.43 as the High/Very High BEHI rating and 0.80 as the Moderate BEHI rating. In addition, Moderate BEHI ratings provided higher erosion rates than the High/Very High BEHI rating and curves intersected at lower NBS ratings, suggesting a discrepancy in the fit of the model used in the Northeast Kansas region and conditions. In this light, modification of the BEHI model was evaluated and variables were assessed in the model for additional influence exerted in the Northeast Kansas region. Vegetation seemed to provide the most influence to bank resistance and was more closely evaluated. Banks with and without woody riparian vegetation were then plotted against BEHI and NBS values, as banks lacking woody vegetation eroded at higher rates. This study's findings can allow us to calibrate the BEHI model according to woody vegetation occurrence levels along streambanks in the Black Vermillion watershed. Modifications regarding vegetation occurrence of the BEHI model was completed and the results of these modifications generated R2 values of 0.78 for High/Very High BEHI and 0.82 for Moderate BEHI ratings. High/Very High ratings provided higher predicted erosion rates than Moderate ratings, while the curve slopes did not intersect at lower NBS ratings.

Full textAbstract:
Back-haul infrastructures of today's wireless operators must support the triple-play services demanded by the market or regulatory bodies. To cope with increasing capacity demand, the EU FP7 project CARMEN has developed a cost-effective heterogeneous multi-radio wireless back-haul architecture, which may also leverage the native multicast capabilities of broadcast technologies such as DVB-T to off-load high-bandwidth broadcast content delivery. However, the integration of such unidirectional technologies into a packet-switched architecture requires careful considerations. The contribution of this thesis is the investigation, design and evaluation of protocols and mechanisms facilitating the integration of such unidirectional technologies into the wireless back-haul architecture so that they can be configured and utilized by the spectrum and capacity optimization modules. This integration mainly concerns the control plane and, in particular, the aspects related to resource and capability descriptions, neighborhood, link and Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label-Switched Path (LSP) monitoring, unicast and multicast LSP signalling as well as topology forming and maintenance. During the course of this study we have analyzed the problem space, proposed solutions to the resulting research questions and evaluated our approach. Our results show that the now Unidirectional Technology (UDT)-aware architecture can readily consider Unidirectional Technologies (UDTs) to distribute, for example, broadcast content.

This thesis chronicles a design process of a chapel in Back Bay, Boston. The first three sections record a juxtaposition of short studies and concept designs while the last focuses on the design development of the chapel alone. Heaviness and lightness are the inspiration for this thesis. I have come to understand the words less in terms of their conventional meanings and more of a dialogue between ranges of architectural forms which complement one another. An experience of a place can be enhanced by thoughtful interplay of these two qualities. Through the specific site and story can these qualities be deployed in a meaningful manner.

This thesis embraces the leftover spaces along the back alleyways and turns them into fronts. It proposes inhabitation of spaces below,above and in-between the warehouses through strategic and programmatically specific engagement. As such this project aims to devise a system that integrates both physical and sociological urban fractures.The site is the Los Angeles Fashion District. It is a place of constant transformation; with its evolving fashion trends, new techniques of production, a changing workforce and new buildings. Yet, despite all the sociological and technological changes, the apparel industry still remains labor intensive. Furthermore, the LA Fashion District concentrates the large number of recent immigrants who are mostly undereducated or uneducated. In response to this situation, I am proposing the School for Apparel Industry Workers. Modeled based on current education facilities for adult immigrants, it provides learning opportunities to the workers at their workplace. The school also acts as an architectural connector. It creates mutual relationships among buildings in the alleyways. Pleating, an apparel industry technique, is employed here as an architectural strategy to develop the system of the project that establish physical and sociological connections. It is also a tool in the organization of school programs as well as a technical solution in appropriating existing structures. Its structural and spatial flexibility exploits the diverse shapes extant in existing structures, providing both visual and physical connections between workplace and learning, while fostering greater acceptance and knowledge of immigrants in the community at large. Key words: immigrant, apparel industry, informality, school for immigrant workers, infill, pleat

Thesis (M. Arch)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1988.Bibliography: p. 98-99.
This thesis is a study of the relationship between continuity and change. It's premise is the idea that architecture can be receptive to the need for growth and change while still being rooted to the continuity of its relative setting or community. Accordingly, this is an exploration of how a building can represent the continuity or associative identity of a community. The process will be to look for positive, place-making elements, or patterns, within the context and community. By working with an appropriate range of uses, sizes and forms from within the community, I hope to be able to generate a sense of meaningful space and form, or 'place.' I will be looking for ways to enrich a place within it's community - to give it meaning for those who use and experience it. The basic question is how can we conform to an existing context, yet still accommodate the need for change, and to advance our understanding of our place in the world. The design for an artists' community will be set at the edge of Boston's Back Bay, an architecturally rich and clearly defined community. The design of a small community within a larger community will enable me to focus on the activities, spatial qualities and social patterns that are essential for inducing a sense of place. Ideally, the artists' community should become a microcosm of the larger community - a place where a diverse range of people and activities can combine to create a rich environment with continually changing social relationships and the potential to reinforce the total form of the community, while still allowing different yet similar uses. Design is an exploration of the possible, an awakening to the wisdom of the world to which we all aspire. It is the literal reflection of the ways by which we relate to our universe. In other words, it should reveal our greatest potential, reflect our highest hopes and dreams and increase our understanding of where and how we are in a particular place and time.

The donning of camouflage gear by military forces is uniformly understood to be an attempt to dissolve into a background matrix in order to deceive an enemy in combat, or in a combat simulation. This thesis examines the landscape of Vieques, Puerto Rico, to disprove such notion and move towards proving the opposite: that the military assembled the background matrix according to its own set of interests. Through different communication channels and agents, the military arranges the retrospective gaze into the landscape, recasting the past in the service of its future stratagems. The military communicates to visitors that they gaze at original, primeval nature, when in fact it is a successional vegetation misrepresented as primordial. This scenography proves nearly unquestionable when it is adopted by corporate tourism marketing at the end of the 20th century, but does not appeal to the leisure audience only. It also seduces all those that opposed the military, perpetuating an idea of Vieques without people in the process.

This thesis is intended as a continuation of an MIT design studio. The class proposed an alternative approach to building in the city. It seeks to address some of the following issues: continuity, collective form, range of sizes, territoriality, power, and context. A design exploration is undertaken utilizing this approach on a site in the Back Bay of Boston. The work is organized into five parts: The introduction begins with an overview of the approach. Goals are stated which it seeks to attain: decentralization of control, range of sizes, reduced construction costs, clarity in expression of building parts, vertical zoning, and adaptability. Towards the realization of these goals, some working assumptions are identified: The construction of the building will be divided into two layers. First, an infrastructure that will provide the primary structure, public access and utilities. Second, zones of approximately five thousand square feet that are allowed to develop independent of the infrastructure will provide the infill partitions, internal access, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical service as required by the occupants. The section continues with a comparison of the approach to a building currently under construction on the thesis site. Documentation of a previous design exploration that utilized the same approach is included. The section concludes with an overview of the organization of the thesis document. Part two looks at the Back Bay of Boston, the site of the design exploration. Its beginning as a land fill of the original tidal basin is discussed. The lot sizes and various building types are documented along with zoning ordinances. Finally, the specific site is illustrated and discussed along with its adjacent context. Part three begins the initial design exploration with the introduction of the structural system. A diagram for the site is evolved from an original Back Bay plan type for this size site. The first layer of construction or 'infrastructure' is illustrated and then tested by a group of students. A discussion of problems identified by the students and further testing by the author concludes this section. Part four seeks to address some of the problems uncovered by the testing done in part three. A new structural system emerges and is deployed through the use of a grid of zones and margins. Documentation of the resultant changes in the infrastructure concludes this part. Part five contains the refinement of the design which is illustrated with drawings and a model. Some suggestions are offered for modification of the approach as it relates to a site of this size. Finally, a discussion follows which outlines the original issues of the "alternate approach" and how they were addressed by the design.

Full textAbstract:
La dynamique sédimentaire actuelle du banc du kaiser (mer celtique méridionale), étudiée sur la base de prélèvements sédimentaires et d'imagerie acoustique, est caractérisée par le transport d'une couverture sableuse d'épaisseur métrique sous l'action des courants de marée, et, au-dessus de -140 m, sous l'influence sporadique des courants de houle. Le transport sédimentaire résiduel régional est renforcé sur le flanc du banc faisant face au courant dominant, et inverse sur son flanc faisant face au courant subordonne. Lors de ruptures du régime stationnaire, le schéma de transport prédit un piégeage sur le banc des sédiments en transit vers la pente continentale. L'examen de profils sismiques très haute résolution montre que cette dynamique ne reflète pas la construction du banc, qui est essentiellement une forme d'érosion d'un édifice deltaïque à prédominance tidale, mis en place depuis le pliocène supérieur (tiglien) dans les premiers stades d'une transgression glacioeustatique au droit d'une vallée distributaire du fleuve manche. La transition entre les dépôts fluviatiles et deltaïques serait constituée par un ensemble estuarien scellant l'incision de la vallée et formant l'assise du delta. L'édifice deltaïque montre la progradation, sur des dépôts de shore face, d'un système d'embouchure constitue par une ceinture de méandres anastomoses. L'axe principal de drainage de ce système est parallèle à la direction du shore face et à l'axe de la vallée alluviale sous-jacente. Dans un contexte de plateforme externe, cette association de facies peut être considérée comme un possible modelé de réservoir pétrolier.

L'etude du banc de sercq s'integre dans un programme d'etude de la dynamique et de la structure des corps sableux des plateformes occidentales francaises, associant l'ifremer aux universites de lille 1, caen et bordeaux 1. Situe au nord-est de l'ile anglo-normande du meme nom, le banc de sercq est un corps sableux allonge selon un axe nord-sud, constitue en surface de sables moyens a grossiers. Long de 6 km et large de 1,5 km, il repose sur un substrat plan et horizontal situe a -48 m par rapport au niveau des plus basses mers. Il s'agit d'un banc tidal situe dans une zone ou les courants de maree depassent 1m/s pres du fond. Son origine est attribuee a une deviation de la circulation generale des courants de maree par l'ile de sercq a l'origine d'une cellule de convergence favorisant l'accumulation sedimentaire. Les images sonar et l'etude des prelevements permettent de preciser la morphologie, la granularite et la polarite des formes sedimentaires associees au banc. La confrontation des polarites des formes sedimentaires obtenues grace au sonar lateral avec les mesures de courant de surface permet d'apprehender le schema de circulation au voisinage du banc. La sismique haute et tres haute resolution couplee aux carottages, conduit a la reconstitution de la geometrie en 3 dimensions du banc, et a l'elaboration d'un modele d'evolution prenant en compte la dynamique actuelle et l'evolution des conditions de depot durant l'holocene. Quatre unites sismiques limitees par des discontinuites erosives ont ete identifiees.

This thesis aims at establishing a set of rules for the design of a house type in Boston's Back Bay. The theory of which this study is based on is built-form theory which undertake the morphological development of the spatial arrangement. The house type of Back Bay conceived as a set of rules that can prescribed formal relations among chosen elements at the block and building levels. The rules are applied for generating a house type. Type exists in the social body, which consolidates social agreement and therefore is closely related to the sharing of images. Rules can be used for describing the images in terms of physical forms and communicate the idea of type with architects and people who live the society. Also, they serve reference criteria and design guidelines, as control tools of design in our physical environment. This study consists of three major parts: Formulating design rules for urban block, facade and floor plan. For each part, a series of analyses are adopted: (1) block level: physical system and spatial system; (2) facade system: facade decomposition, hierarchical organization and generative rule system; (3) floor plan system: floor plan structure. A set of dimensional system are also generated for the test of design rules.

This thesis begins with the critique of the current situation of detached, privately owned, multi-family residences and seeks alternative solutions at both the broad scale of the block, and at the scale of the spaces directly adjacent to the interiors. Originally these types of residences were based on the block layout and ideals of equal light, access, and air that were formed at the turn of the century for single family homes. Some of the results of this "equality", and its direct application to multi-family residences, are equally unusable side yards, an abundance of pavement and curb cuts for individual driveways, "private" backyards that all abut, and views from the interiors and porches directly to neighbors' interiors and porches. Though residents might know some of their neighbors directly next door, the feeling of a larger sense of community is lost with in the repetitiveness of the tract block. The intention of th is thesis, based on the assumption that the residents have a variety of needs, and that all of the spaces should not be "equal", is to design a range of outside territories from private to communal. What is an alternative block arrangement that will foster community interaction and provide the framework for the layout and design of these outdoor spaces? How should outdoor sitting areas, parking spots, entrances, entry paths, etc., be designed to reinforce and provide for these different requirements? A set of design principles for these types of spaces will be derived through a combination of analysis of "successful" spaces, and the redesign of an existing neighborhood/ block in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

An open systems architecture (OSA) is one in which all of the interfaces are fully defined, available to the public, and maintained according to a group consensus. One approach to achieve this is to use modular hardware and software and to buy commercial, off-the-shelf and commodity hardware. Benefits of an OSA include providing easy access to the latest technological advances in both hardware and software, enabling net-centric operations, and allowing a flexible design that can easily change as the needs of customers may change. This paper will provide details of an OSA system designed for a telemetry receiver and list the benefits of OSA for the telemetry community.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a new interpretation of Henri Lefebvre’s Critique of Everyday Life (1933–1981), in order to develop a new method of research that locates the critique of the historical objects and practices of construction as ‘architecture in production’. To achieve this, the thesis presents a close examination of key concepts in Lefebvre’s Critique—‘alienation’, ‘production’, and ‘critique’ itself—and uses these concepts in the investigation of a particular construction process—the production of building sites for London’s South Bank, between 1948 and 1951. The thesis is composed in three parts. Part One argues that a general concept of production is recoverable from Lefebvre’s Critique, through the Marxist concept of ‘alienation’. This concept is developed by Lefebvre in a series of different spheres —‘praxis’, ‘everyday life’, ‘space’ and ‘the state form’. In each case, Lefebvre asks how it is possible to gain critical knowledge of production through its ‘alienated expression’. Lefebvre’s response to the epistemological and methodological problems raised, are shown to operate in dialogue with select works of Karl Marx and Bertolt Brecht. Part Two argues that the epistemological and methodological problematics of Lefebvre’s Critique remain incomplete until mobilised through an investigation of the particular. Through a critical literature review, the South Bank is shown to provide a unique site for such a mobilisation—an architectural production process expressed in a range of technical literatures and archival sources. A critique and history of the early phases of construction at the South Bank (1948–1951) is developed. Practices of demolishing, stripping out, excavating, and ground exploration, are explored through a careful selection of primary sources and archives—including news items, articles and memoirs, drawings, photographs, contracts and works reports. Part Three considers these sources as ‘alienated expressions’, presenting a history of ‘architecture in production’ through their critique.

The crossroads of Flatbush (often called The Junction) is a five point intersection of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. A crossroad where ethnic groups step beyond subtle neighborhood boundaries and merge to use public services and shops. Steel gates roll up at the beginning of each day and pushcarts slip onto the sidewalk. Pedestrians jostle vendors and vendors strike bargains. Senior citizens seeks unlit corners after tracing the sun's path. Night shift workers yawn while gradually adjusting to the morning rush. High school and college students dart in and out of donut shops as they make their way to classes. The electricity emitted from such an urban environment has a lasting effect. It is this energy that I wish to capture in my design exploration for student housing. The development of a physical form that would reflect the vibrancy of The Junction.

The objective of this thesis is to explore the transformation of an existing building type and the application of the support/infill concept in a new context. For this purpose, a traditional Back Bay residential form in Boston has been selected. The study has been carried out in two parts: (I) Part One consists of an observational study of the existing context. This involved an analysis on the levels of urban structure, urban tissue and lot unit. The rules of the original Back Bay house type are identified in the last section. (II) The second part comprises a design study based on the observed context by inserting new constraints. To discover possible floor-plan variations within the type, the support/ infill distinction has been applied. Furthermore, the application of the modified type to irregular lot forms is studied. At the end of the thesis unresolved issues are discussed..
