Abstract:

It is common for a design team to be handed a problem to solve for others. The handing over is normally referred to as a ‘briefing’ process, and the documentation of the starting point and what is to be done is known as a ‘brief’. It is known that the way we frame and understand a problem influences what paths we see to potential solutions. The aim of this thesis is to understand what makes a good design brief and to do so in order to create an empirically informed, and theoretically underpinned, typology of design briefs and the kind of search processes they are disposed to induce. Different bodies of literature have tried to grasp how design solves problems in order to understand designer’s behavior and ultimately facilitate or improve it. Distinctions can, and have been made, between different kinds of problem formulations, as well as different problem-solving approaches. This thesis aims to integrate two previously distinct literatures, search process from the organizational perspective developed by James G. March, Herbert A. Simon, Richard Cyert and others and Design and the Design Process from the perspectives of authors such as Donald Schön, Kees Dorst and Nigel Cross among others, to propose a typology of design briefs in order to ultimately facilitate problem formulation and subsequently facilitate the design process. The simple and immediate answer to the question of what makes a good design brief is: ‘that depends’. It depends on the design process to be followed (if there is one), it depends on the kind of goals that should be achieved, the time available, and it also depends on how much and what is known about the problem and potential solutions. Based on this, four ideal types of design briefs are articulated, including the expected associated search behavior and challenges of design teams.
Det är vanligt att ett designteam får ett problem att lösa åt andra. Överlämnandet kallas normalt en ”briefing” -process och dokumentationen av utgångspunkten och vad som ska göras kallas ett ”design brief ”. Det är känt att det sätt vi ramar in och förstår ett problem påverkar vilka vägar vi ser till potentiella lösningar. Syftet med denna avhandling är att förstå vad som gör ett bra ”design brief ” och att göra det för att skapa en empiriskt informerad och teoretiskt underbyggd typologi av design brief och vilken typ av sökprocesser de uppmuntrar. Olika litteratur har försökt förstå hur design löser problem för att förstå designerns beteende och i slutändan underlätta eller förbättra det. Skillnader kan och har gjorts mellan olika typer av problemformuleringar och olika problemlösningsmetoder. Denna avhandling syftar till att integrera två tidigare distinkta litteraturområden, sökprocess ur det organisatoriska perspektivet som utvecklats av James G. March, Herbert A. Simon, Richard Cyert och andra samt Design och designprocessen ur perspektiv av författare som Donald Schön, Kees Dorst och Nigel Cross bland andra för att föreslå en typologi av design brief för att underlätta problemformulering och därmed också underlätta designprocessen. Det enkla och omedelbara svaret på frågan om vad som gör ett bra design brief är: ”det beror på”. Det beror på designprocessen som ska följas (om det finns en), det beror på vilken typ av mål som ska uppnås, den tillgängliga tiden, och det beror också på hur mycket och vad som är känt om problemet och potentiella lösningar. Baserat på detta artikuleras fyra idealtyper av design brief, inklusive det förväntade associerade sökbeteendet och utmaningar för designteam.

Abstract:

My personal interest in cities and their layering of spaces and functions served as a starting point for this dissertation. Cities evolve over time, and the resultant networks of movement and public spaces are the filters through which most inhabitants experience the city they live in. By examining the Cape Town CBD and surrounds, it became apparent that these networks have become secondary to other commercial systems. Whilst Cape Town has some open public spaces of historic significance such as the Grand Parade and Greenmarket Square, the public space network has become fragmented and often overwhelmed by commercial interests which inevitably limit public access and use. Upon closer examination, it seems that economic concerns have shaped the city rather than a layering and balance between public and private, access and control. A discernible building typology can be found in the inner city, one which I have referred to as the tower block. The tower blocks have varying programmes but hold in common private ownership and controlled access, thereby limiting the connection to the city severely, and in most cases do not add anything of value to the public urban fabric. Instead, where the tower block access meets the movement and public space network of the city a hostile environment is created, where loiterers and security guards jostle for control. The inhabitants and users of the tower blocks step from the city into a controlled, sterile environment, and do not interact with the urban environment further. Most of these tower blocks naturally accommodate office space in the CBD. Whilst it is not realistic to lay the onus on private investors and developers putting up tall buildings in the city to contribute extensively to the public urban space, civic buildings should shoulder that responsibility. Historically, as with the Old Town Hall overlooking the Grand Parade, this is how the public space network was constructed. Civic building and the publicly accessible space which they created were the generative elements of cities. By examining the CBD it became clear that the last extensive civic building done by the city was during the apartheid era, buildings such as the Civic Centre and Customs House on the foreshore. Built to deal with the growing administrative apparatus of that era, and following modernist guidelines the public spaces created by these buildings are mostly unused, due to unsuitable location and being awkwardly scaled and imposing. The trend for the city to instead lease tower blocks of generic office space to accommodate their civic functions has further led to a deterioration of the public urban realm, as a building typology focused on disconnection from the city now has to accommodate a constant influx of people whilst still having to maintain security for its internal workings. The street, entrances and internal corridors become crowded with people which they were not designed to contain, leading to a frustrating experience for both public and public servant alike. The focus of this thesis became to challenge the conventional tower block that makes up much of our cities today, by putting forward spatial possibilities that are flexible for alternate uses and new crossprogrammatic possibilities for a partnership between private building and public building. The connection between the private and public was made through the programme of an office building, which in its generic form has already become a typology that houses both public (civic) and private.

Abstract:

Located in the northern United States, along the Rocky Mountains, lies the state of Montana. Traditionally rural, Montana is experiencing significant growth in its urban and destination areas. With growth comes obstacles and opportunities. The majority of the state is sufficiently connected to the global transportation network for the movement of goods, but lacks diverse people moving systems. While goods have the benefit of being transported at high speeds via road, rail, and air, the majority of people do not. Roadways near urban areas are frequent victims of congestion, the vitality of many airports is in question, and rail is minimized to a northern Amtrak route that neglects most population centers. The lack of passenger transit systems effectively cuts travel possibilities in half for hundreds of thousands people. Montanans deserve an option for the future that streamlines their transportation infrastructure, integrates them with the rest of the world, and provides an example of positive development. The intent of this thesis is to analyze the current network of people moving systems in Montana in order to determine how a better understanding of network dynamics and transportation architecture can help create connections to the global transportation network and foster positive growth. Information will be presented in graphic and literary form starting with the economic and transportation infrastructure in the region. Precedents are used to gain insight on existing and proposed architectural solutions to facilitate a proposal for an integrated transportation network in Montana, using architecture that utilizes continuous change, passage, and movement as active support.

Children are imaginative, creative, and active. Children of all age groups are influenced by their surroundings, particularly school-aged children (Frost, 2010). School-aged children’s physical, emotional, social, and intellectual developmental characteristics are influenced by their surrounding environments. Today, uniform playgrounds are diminishing the opportunities for youth to develop their personal creativity and imagination through play (Thompson 2007, Solomon 2005). By integrating art into playgrounds, these environments will offer children greater opportunity for developmental enrichment through their interactions with the site. Researched cases of art and play have inspired the development of a typology. The typology is a collection of quintessential ways that settings for play can be visually and experientially enriched by art. This process began with three critical questions; 1) What constitutes a playground? 2) What is art? and 3) How can art be integrated into playgrounds? More than 30 precedents that demonstrate art in a play setting were examined. Noting differences and similarities between the precedents, 12 types were identified. Next, analysis matrices identifying primary and, if applicable, secondary placement of each of the precedents in the 12 developed types, including sub-types, giving art in playgrounds a place. Also classified was type of art, high or vernacular, for each precedent. The research methodology was an iterative process of literature and precedent research followed by the distillation of types, further research, and refinement of the typology framework.

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1994.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 130-140).
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.

Abstract:

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the process where the bacteria develop resistance towards the treating effect of an antibiotic drug. AMR poses an alarming threat to human health causing around 700,000 deaths per year around the globe. If appropriate measures to combat the resistance are not taken, the number of deaths globally could increase to around 10 million by the year 2050. There are various factors driving the growth of AMR of which antibiotic shortages are common. A clear insight into the pharmaceutical supply chain is necessary to understand the reasons causing antibiotic unavailability. Ensuring access to medicines is one of the major objectives of pharmaceutical supply chains. Pharmaceutical firms compete in a volatile market to increase their profits. Antibiotics render slim profit margins to pharmaceutical firms; declining profits and increasing costs of production have led to firms outsourcing their operations to suppliers in different geographical locations. This in turn forms complex supply chain structures with various actors of a single drug chain being dispersed across the globe. The complexity in these supply chains lead to antibiotic supply interruptions. National drug shortages drive the risk of AMR, and these shortages are caused when pharmaceutical supply chains are weak or fragile. Therefore, the pharmaceutical supply chains need to be thoroughly analysed. This thesis aims to explore the different possible upstream supply chain structures that could exist in pharmaceutical supply chains. The study also highlights the factors that motivate the firms to choose different supply chain structures. This research is based on the existing literature on pharmaceutical supply chains. Qualitative semi-structured interviews, reports and existing research articles guided the authors in building a typology of upstream pharmaceutical supply chains based on: how different processes are handled by the MAH, the geographical location of operations in the chain, and the sourcing strategy of the Market Authorisation Holder (MAH) who owns the license for the drug. The findings of this study outline how a pharmaceutical firm could possibly structure the upstream supply chain based on its strategies. This study is limited to conceptualizing only the actors involved in the direct supply chain of the focal firm (MAH), further research including actors in the extended supply chain needs to be performed to get deeper insights into pharmaceutical supply chains.

Abstract:

Tourism today, is considered a primary economic pillar for most countries, including Albania. The investments are immense, construction industry is prevailing while the design of hotels is based on individual requirements, sustainability and relation with the context, are considered a second-hand layer and the national policies so often are not prepared with the proper tools to approach the design or construction process. After the 1990’s the touristic accommodation industry, objecting the rigid means of communism, have followed other aspects of the society, by developing freely and unguided in democratic market. The transition provided on the way other issues regarding informality, sprawl and space occupations, quality of services in an unprepared context. Whilst, the inherited touristic settlements have been subject of misuse, privatization and in other cases part of a total function change. Despite these developments, Albania is experiencing high demand in terms of annually visitors especially in the seaside and in the mountainous areas, which has emerged the need of thinking how to use its actual assets and define explicit principles in developing the accommodation structures which contributes in the overall development of tourism aiming sustainability and minor invasion approaches. This research aims to understand the variation and typologies of touristic accommodation structures in Albania, by achieving inputs also in the relation with historic influences and context. Investigating the tourism sector in Albania, its trends and the national objectives towards this sector is considered an important phase of this study. The contribution of the thesis would be the analytical and descriptive analysis of the Hotels of Communism Period, with the focus on the typology of the city hotel. The expected result is a comprehensive strategic guideline, which is extended in the policies level and in the architectural design guidelines. The outcome is considered the identification of patterns and variables of design to be used as guiding principles towards restoration or new design processes. Having a clear inventory and documentation of socialist hotels, the process of preservation of the architectural heritage with this methodology is facilitated and an alternative to fulfil the need for touristic accommodation is considered.
Il turismo oggi, è considerato un pilastro economico primario per la maggior parte dei paesi, inclusa l'Albania. Gli investimenti sono immensi, prevale l'industria di costruzioni mentre la progettazione degli alberghi si basa sulle esigenze individuali. La sostenibilità e il rapporto con il contesto, sono considerati un livello di seconda mano e le politiche nazionali spesso non sono preparate con gli strumenti adeguati per avvicinarsi al processo di progettazione o costruzione. Dopo gli anni '90 l'industria della ricettività turistica, opponendosi ai rigidi mezzi del comunismo, ha seguito altri aspetti della società, sviluppandosi liberamente e senza guida nel mercato democratico. La transizione ha fornito sulla strada altri temi riguardanti informalità, sprawl e occupazioni dello spazio, qualità dei servizi in un contesto impreparato. Mentre gli insediamenti turistici ereditati sono stati oggetto di uso improprio, privatizzazione e in altri casi parte di un totale cambiamento di funzione. Nonostante questi sviluppi, l'Albania sta vivendo una forte domanda in termini di visitatori annuali soprattutto nelle zone balneari e montane, e nelle grande citta da cui è emersa la necessità di pensare come utilizzare le sue attuali risorse. Approccio alla tesi e è concentrato a definire principi espliciti nello sviluppo delle strutture ricettive, concentrandosi su quelli del comunismo, che contribuiscono alla sviluppo complessivo del turismo mirando alla sostenibilità e ad approcci di invasione minore, conservando allo stesso modo l'architettura del socialismo. Questa tesi ha come obiettivo analizare e comprendere la variazione e le tipologie delle strutture ricettive turistiche in Albania, ottenendo input anche nella relazione con le influenze storiche e il contesto. Indagare il settore turistico in Albania, le sue tendenze e gli obiettivi nazionali verso questo settore è considerato una fase complementare di questo studio. Il contributo della tesi sarebbe l'analisi descrittivo, analitica e diagrammatico degli Hotel del periodo comunista, con particolare attenzione alla tipologia dell'hotel di città e le caratteristiche di quell'architettura. Il risultato atteso è una linea guida strategica inclusivo, che si estende a livello di politiche urbane e turistiche e nelle linee guida di progettazione architettonica. Il risultato è considerato l'identificazione di modelli e variabili di progettazione negli alberghi della città del comunismo, da utilizzare come principi di orientamento verso il restauro di queste strutture o nuovi processi di progettazione. Avendo un chiaro inventario e documentazione degli hotel socialisti, il processo di conservazione del patrimonio architettonico con questa metodologia è facilitato e viene considerata anche come un'alternativa per incontrare il bisogno di alloggio turistico.

Abstract:

Technological advancements in the second half of the century have significantly affected academic library institution. Libraries are undergoing a transition period and constantly updating their system to adapt to those advancements. However, library building is slow to adapt to the changes. This study examines those changes in academic libraries and buildings based on two main variables. namely human beings. and the medium. through which the information is transmitted The invention of first. electronic, and then digital systems significantly changed these two variables. The resulting library building is shaped by the new human Behavior and the form of information-mediums in a technology-oriented environment. The result of this study is 'five governing principles,' which explain the position of those two variables in a complex web of relations created by technological advancements. The same principles also explain the role of different variables in the future of the library building typology.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this metamethodological study was to construct a typology of designs for social research in the built environment, i.e., architecture, urban design and planning. Currently there is no such typology, while the notion of “research design” is relatively unknown in methodological literature in the built environment field. An outline of the dimensions of social research provided a theoretical lens for methodological analysis, and identified six methodological considerations as classification criteria, including (1) research context, (2) research aim, (3) research purpose, (4) methodological paradigm, (5) methodological approach, and (6) source of data. Exploratory interviews and a survey and methodological content analysis of built environment theses provided a better understanding of methodological issues in conducting social research in the built environment and the potential relevance of a typology of designs. A review of methodological literature identified 25 research design subtypes that can be clustered into 10 prototypical designs for inclusion in the typology, namely: (1) surveys, (2) experiments, (3) modelling, simulation, mapping and visualization, (4) textual and narrative studies, (5) field studies, (6) case studies, (7) intervention research, (8) evaluation research, (9) participatory action research, and (10) metaresearch. A survey and methodological content analysis of journal articles determined the extent to which these designs feature in social research in the built environment. Although all the designs and subtypes feature, metaresearch, case studies, evaluation research and surveys predominate. An initial typology classified the 10 prototypical designs in terms of the six methodological considerations. The typology was tested to see how well it classified the designs of actual studies and revised accordingly. Possible benefits of the typology include greater clarification, improved teaching and decision-making, and methodological reflection. Thus, the typology may support lecturers, students, supervisors, researchers, peer-reviewers and practitioners to have a more articulate, reflexive, and critical orientation with regard to research design to maximize the validity of findings and advance theory, methodology and practice in built environment disciplines. The study concludes that the typology may also mitigate post-modern criticisms against social research in the built environment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie metametodologiese studie was om `n tipologie van ontwerpe vir sosiale navorsing in die bou-omgewing (d.w.s. argitektuur, stadsontwerp en beplanning) te konstrueer. Tans is daar geen so tipologie nie, terwyl die nosie van “navorsingsontwerp” relatief onbekend is in metodologiese literatuur in die bou-omgewing veld. `n Uiteensetting van die dimensies van sosiale navorsing het `n teoretiese lens vir metodologiese analises verskaf en ses metodologiese konsiderasies as klassifikasie kriteria geïdentifiseer, insluitend (1) navorsingskonteks, (2) navorsingsoogmerk, (3) navorsingsdoelwit, (4) metodologiese paradigma, (5) metodologiese benadering, en (6) data bron. Verkennende onderhoude en `n opname en metodologiese inhoudsanalise van bou-omgewing tesisse het `n beter begrip van metodologiese kwessies in sosiale navorsing in die bou-omgewing en die moontlike relevansie van `n tipologie van ontwerpe verskaf. `n Oorsig van metodologiese literatuur het 25 navorsingsontwerp subtipes geïdentifiseer wat in 10 prototipe ontwerpe gegroepeer kan word vir insluiting in die tipologie, naamlik (1) opnames, (2) eksperimente, (3) modellering, simulasie, kartering en visualisering, (4) tekstuele en narratiewe studies, (5) veldstudies, (6) gevallestudies, (7) intervensie navorsing, (8) evaluasie navorsing, (9) deelnemende aksie navorsing, en (10) metanavorsing. `n Opname en metodologiese inhoudsanalise van joernaal artikels het die mate waartoe hierdie ontwerpe in sosiale navorsing in die bou-omgewing voorkom bepaal. Alhoewel al die ontwerpe en subtipes voorkom, is metanavorsing, gevallestudies, evaluasie navorsing en opnames predominant. `n Aanvanklike tipologie het die 10 prototipe ontwerpe in terme van die ses metodologiese konsiderasies geklassifiseer. Die tipologie is getoets om te sien hoe goed dit die ontwerpe van werklike studies klassifiseer en dienooreenkomstig gewysig. Moontlike voordele van die tipologie sluit in verbeterde klarifikasie, onderrig, besluitneming en metodologiese refleksie. Die tipologie kan dus dosente, studente, studieleiers, navorsers, beoordelaars en praktisyns ondersteun om `n meer geartikuleerde, refleksiewe en kritiese oriëntasie ten opsigte van navorsingsontwerp te hê om die geldigheid van bevindinge te maksimeer en teorie, metodologie en praktyk in bou-omgewing dissiplines te bevorder. Die studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat die tipologie ook postmoderne kritiek teen sosiale navorsing in die bou-omgewing kan mitigeer.

Abstract:

Visual information design is a vital part of modern communication. Currently discussion is occurring in most disciplines to determine more effective ways to incorporate visual information design into all their communication, including website and document design. These discussions typically focus on elements of traditional graphic design that tell the student what is "good" graphic design; however, traditional graphic design depends on trial and error, luck, and best practices, with only rare attempts to construct general principles. Selection of visual elements is usually based on designer preference rather than any consistent conceptual framework or empirical support for design decisions. Another approach to visual information design was introduced by Alan Manning and Nicole Amare, based on the work of C. S. Peirce, who created a number of three-part typologies aimed particularly at modes of communication in relation to purpose. Manning and Amare's approach to visual information design maps specific visual elements to consistent definitions based on both formal characteristics and useful functions, as predicted by analysis in terms of primary Peircean categories. These definitions provide a consistent framework for selecting the appropriate visual elements that have the desired communicative effects. Manning and Amare's work was written for an academic audience. The primary purpose of my Master's project is to adapt their information-design concepts for a more general audience, particularly students. An abbreviated and simplified version was created online and was pilot-tested in two undergraduate Linguistics classes for students who are pursuing an editing minor.

Abstract:

“Building processes seem best evoked in terms of various forms of endemic uncertainty which, in turn, define an essentially turbulent industrial environment. The pursuit of stability is re-interpreted as ‘unstable equilibrium’ in building processes, requiring constant feedback to maintain control.” (Groak, 1992) The process of addressing a troubled spatial legacy within the context of South Africa has presented a challenging atmosphere regarding the preservation or reprogramming of urban and architectural space. This becomes a prevalent issue when considering critical urban regions such as Westbury in Johannesburg, where the social and built environment remain in a constant struggle for identity and defensibility. The need to address this reformation of urban space as well as urban programme has lead this dissertation to question the manifestation of social processes in spatial form. This dissertation hopes to propose a system of architecture and supporting infrastructure that will address existing spatial legacy, through responding to social and contextual issues; leading to a new platform for the sustainable progression of social activity and identity in the form of urban densification.

Abstract:

The project proposes the investigation into the adaptive re-use of abandoned and unused buildings in the Pretoria CBD to develop social housing that makes use of existing infrastructure, structures, economic activity and transport networks. This is done as a response to the need for social housing in the medium income market. Most developments for this market are built outside city limits and use precious resources and unnecessary new materials. This project focuses on what is currently known as Huis Potgieter, on the UNISA Sunnyside Campus, as a testing ground to develop theories and approaches that can be used in the development of future developments. Throughout the research conducted into the project, the residents have been emphasised as the main design informant, specifically by the regulations set out by the national government. Considering the highly user-centred approach as identified by the regulations, it is appropriate to approach it from an interior design knowledgebase. Looking firstly at the resident’s needs, those in similar housing developments and income markets have identified and emphasised the need and importance of shared public spaces. Other research has confirmed that public spaces are a large contributor to both the social and psychological well-being of the residents. This project focuses on providing public spaces as integrated areas within the building, interspersed between living units, in an effort to provide comfortable, inclusive, and enjoyable public spaces that encourage a sense of place among the residents. A design proposal to integrate interior public spaces into the daily lives of the residents was developed. Various public space theories were collated and synthesised to develop a set of theory-based guidelines for use in this and future social housing projects. The project aims to develop a proposal that considers all users in the development, both in their physical needs (in the form of an inclusive design approach), as well as their social and community needs, by providing public spaces that accommodate a wide range of users and activities. To benefit future studies and to contribute to the field of interior design, a new term, interior public spaces, was developed in order to describe the type of public spaces created. In order to create a strong identity for the building, which the users can relate and respond to in their own attachment and appropriation, the legibility of the intervention is large focus of the project. To increase the legibility of the building, the building identity – KwilaliCity - was developed to reflect strongly in the public areas of the building to create a common ground for all residents. The intervention ensures accessibility to its wide range of residents by introducing a strong inclusive design component, with a focus on wayfinding. Applying the wayfinding and inclusive approach early in the project allows for an integrated resolution that serves to strengthen the design approach. The intention that residents are encouraged to develop an attachment to KwilaliCity and their fellow residents is evident in the encouragement to appropriate specific elements in and around their homes, in order to reflect their identities and give them some control over their housing environment.
Hierdie projek neem voor om die her-gebruik van verlate en ongebruikte geboue in die Pretoria besigheidsdistrik te ondersoek, met die doel om sosiale behuising wat gebruik maak van bestaande infrastruktuur, strukture, ekonomise aktiwiteit en vervoernetwerke. Die projek het vorendag gekom as ‘n reaksie op die nood vir sosiale behuising in die medium-inkomstemark. Ontwikkelings vir hierdie mark word dikwels geplaas buite die stadperke, en gebruik waardevolle hulpbronne en onnodige nuwe material. Die projek fokus op wat tans bekend staan as Huis Potgieter, te vinde op die UNISA Sunnyside-kampus, as ‘n toetsarea waar teorieë en benaderings te ondersoek en wat in toekomstige uitbreidings gebruik kan word. Tydens die navorsing wat afgelê is vir die projek, is die inwoners beklemtoon as die hoof ontwerpinformant, hoofsaaklik deur die regulasies uiteengesit deur die nasionale regering. Met hierdie hoogs gebruiker-geörienteerde benadering, soos geïdentifiseer deur die regulasies, is dit toepaslik om gebruik te maak van die interieurontwerp kennisbasis. Eerstens word daar gekyk na die inwoners se behoeftes. Inwoners in soortgelyke behuising en inkomstemark het die behoefte en belangrikheid van gedeelde openbare ruimtes uitgelig en beklemtoon. Verdere navorsing het bevestig dat openbare ruimtes ‘n groot bydraende faktor is in die sosiale en sielkundige welstand van die inwoners. Die projek fokus op die voorsiening van openbare ruimtes as integreerde areas binne die gebou, verweef tussendeur die leefeenhede, in ‘n poging om gemaklike, toeganklike, en aangename openbare ruimtes te skep wat ‘n gevoel van plek by die inwoners aanwakker. ‘n Ontwerpvoorstel om die interieur openbare ruimtes te integreer met die daaglikse lewens van die inwoners is ontwikkel. Verskeie teorieë wat handel oor openbare ruimtes is versamel en saamgevat om ‘n stel teorie-gebasseerde riglyne te ontwikkel wat gebruik kan word in hierdie en toekomstige sosiale behuisingskemas. Die projek poog om ‘n voorstel te ontwikkel wat alle inwoners in ag neem, beide in hul fisiese behoeftes (in terme van ‘n inklusiewe ontwerpbenadering), sowel as hul sosiale en gemeenskapsbehoeftes deur inwoners van openbare ruimtes te voorsien wat ‘n wye spectrum van gebruikers en aktiwiteite kan akkommodeer Om toekomende interieurontwerpstudies te baat, is ‘n nuwe term, interieuropenbare ruimtes, ontwikkel om die soort openbare ruimtes, soos geskep in hierdie projek, te beskryf. Ten einde ‘n sterk identiteit te ontwikkel vir die gebou, wat die inwoners in staat sal stel om verband te hou en te reageer daarop deur hul aanhegtig en bewilliging, is die leesbaarheid van die ingryping ‘n groot fokus van die projek. Om die leesbaarheid van die gebour te verbeter, is ‘n gebou-identiteit – KwilaliCity – ontwikkel. Dit kom sterk voor in die openbare areas van die gebou om ‘n gelyke grondslag vir alle inwoners te skep. Die ingryping verseker die inklusiwiteit vir die wye reeks inwoners deur ‘n sterk inklusiewe ontwerpkomponent in te bring, wat fokus op die navigasie en leesbaarheid van die ruimtes. Deur hierdie benadering toe te pas vanaf die begin, maak voorsiening vir ‘n geïntegreerde oplossing wat help om die ontwerbenadering te versterk. Die bedoeling is dat inwoners aangemoedig word om aanhegting met KwilaliCity en hul mede-inwoners, en is aangebring in die aanmoediging om spesifieke elemente om hul eenhede te bewillig, in ‘n poging om hul identiteit te weerspieël en bietjie beheer te gee oor hul huislike omgewing.

Abstract:

The power balance of an electrical power system is crucial to the quality of the delivered electricity as well as the security of supply. In a scenario where Swedish nuclear power plants are being phased out and replaced by renewable energy sources new constraints are added to the power balance equation since the production of many renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, are intermittent by nature. This leads to a situation where the currently available regulating power might have difficulties to manage the increasing frequency fluctuations in the power grid. One possible solution to the problem is to build gas turbines for the purpose of peak power generation capacity. An alternative option would be to increase customer flexibility; that is Demand Response. This master thesis investigates how the market for Demand Respond can be designed and which potential Demand Response volumes different policy programs might release. This is done through a mixed approach. Firstly, a scientific review of previously documented Demand Response experiences compares and categorizes different Demand Response programs in a typology based on the parameters cost, volume and feasibility. Subsequently an interview series with different market agents, predominantly through interviews with the Swedish energy intensive industry, identifies the existing Demand Response potential in Sweden and offers the paradigm needed to transfer the results to a future hypothetical situation. The typology of Demand Response programs and estimation of the future industrial Demand Response potential in Sweden are the main new knowledge contributions of this master thesis. The scope however is limited to the Swedish market geographically and focuses on the time horizon 2020-2050. It is also assumed that only existing technologies are likely to be implemented on a large scale over the given time horizon. The results of this master thesis suggest that a Real Time Pricing model would realize the largest potential of Demand Response and to a relatively low cost. This solution however requires actions and further development of both the pricing model and in technology. Firstly, all market agents must have free access to real time price information, something that is lacking today. Secondly, a smart grid with hourly meters is required. If policymakers consider security of supply to be more important than a low system cost, Direct Control or a continuation of the Strategic Reserve is to be preferred according to the conclusions of this report. Previous studies have placed the existing potential for industrial Demand Response in Sweden between 600 and 900 MW. This report suggests that the available volume is in the upper region of the mentioned interval already today and has potential to rise significantly in the future as industries become more aware of the concept and the transmission grid is becoming more flexible. Another driving force for increased Demand Response volumes are the increased price fluctuations which are expected as a consequence of a greater share of renewable energy sources. For the future Demand Response potential, a cost perspective is introduced and a distinction between different response durations is made. More specifically the results indicate that the potential industrial Demand Response volume will be about 1,500 MW in 2030, given a response duration time of 4 h and a spot price on 2,000 SEK/MWh. If 1,500 MW of peak generation capacity could be avoided through active Demand Side Management, it would reduce the system cost with about 350 Million SEK annually. Consequently, there is a business case for Demand Response and the issue is likely to be subject to further investigation and discussion in the future. On the long term however industrial Demand Response must be compared with other flexibility options, e.g. as import/export or energy storages but also residential Demand Response, and is in such case likely to be outcompeted due to its relatively high variable cost of providing capacity.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1995.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 141-145).
This thesis commences with the basic premise that Timurid Central Asia (which included the regions of Khorasan and Transoxania), with its monumental achievements in Urban Planning and Civic Architecture, beginning with the reign of Tamerlane (1346 - 1405); served as a literal source of inspiration for the urban form of Mughal cities. As an additional corollary to this premise, it puts forward the thesis that the formal similarities observed between the architecture of the Timurids and the Mughals were not purely coincidental; but were indeed the result of a conscious exchange of ideas and images in a varied number of ways. The Mughals seem to have essentially emulated the Timurids in terms of the basic grammar of their architectural creations, and the final product was always unique in terms of the extent, purity and the mix of constituent elements. This cross-cultural 'borrowing' seems to have become more direct and relatively refined when one considers developments in the realm of city planning; where to a large extent, there seems to have operated a 'stereo-typical' notion or model of the urban settlement - predominantly Timurid or deriving from Timurid precedents; which is thereafter applied and overlaid with 'Indianized' or 'Persianized' notions in order to develop the characteristics of the Mughal city. The first part of the thesis examines how pre-Timurid precedents could have contributed towards the conception of a Timurid Urban Model. The characteristics this model and its variations are subsequently discussed with reference to specific cases. The second part discusses correlations between the Timurid and Mughal city in terms of a matrix of political and social variables derived from conditions prevalent in Timurid and Mughal society. The third part of the research looks at factors or agents which may have caused the this cultural interchange to occour between the two cultures.

Abstract:

The following dissertation presents a typology for historic working watercraft of the State of South Carolina, United States of America. The background investigation for this typology addressed research design questions concerning the geographic and ethnic origins of the builders of these craft, the history of transportation growth in the area and other factors which are thought to have influenced basic design, and construction methods. These factors were the environments in which craft operated, the materials and skills available for their construction, and the shapes and eights of typical cargoes they were designed to transport. In addition to archival sources, data was developed by surveying regions of South Carolina where specific types of craft were known to operate. These areas included lower coastal plain riverine environments, abandoned rice plantations, abandoned ferry crossings, historic canals, and marine phosphate mining areas. Where remains of craft were discovered, a survey was conducted to gather sufficient information to determine the basic design, construction, and function of the vessel. Experimental archaeological projects also were undertaken during the last stages of the research to determine if it were possible to gather viable data concerning construction economy, construction sequence, and performance. The projects consisted of the construction of one full scale 'replica' rice plantation barge, one full scale 'reconstruction' of an upland cotton boat, and one large scale model of a plantation chine-girder barge. These projects also constituted an examination of the value of experimental archaeology to this type of research. The work also provided an opportunity to compare the relative values of the construction of replicas using historic techniques and materials, versus 'reconstruction' to visually accurate standards using modern materials. It was determined, given certain factors dictated by funding and labor, that experimental archaeology can indeed contribute worthwhile data for research purposes. The archival and field data generated by this activity were analyzed and a typology developed. It was determined that at least fourteen specific types of paddled or wind and tide driven watercraft were operated in the study area from the pre-historic period to approximately 1930. These craft included dugout canoes, dugout-form based plantation craft, flat bottomed sailing vessels, round hulled ocean going sailing vessels, barge-form ferry craft, rice flats and phosphate carriers, extreme length-to-beam ratio mountain river craft, and highly specialized canal craft. The data also indicate that working environments and cargo form were specific and direct influences on watercraft design. In some cases, such as aboriginal dugout canoes produced prior to European contact, ethnic influences were readily discernible. This proved not to be the case after the contact period. Archival data clearly indicate that both European and Africans and African Americans were engaged in watercraft construction and operation during the study period. Evidence is presented to show that Europeans sought specific skills among imported Africans ranging from the cultivation of agricultural crops to blacksmithing. Further evidence demonstrates African skills in watercraft construction and operation, especially of dugout canoes and dugout based designs. It is hypothesized that craft of these type are most likely to be representative of the craft produced by this ethnic group in South Carolina. This hypothesis is supported by presentation of archival data showing that these types of craft were the vessels of choice of African and African American crews. Further evidence is presented to show that widely ranging European boat building skills also are represented in the archaeological record, including English, French and possibly middle European influences. It is further determined that specific identification of the influence of anyone ethnic group is made unlikely as a result of the early absorption of ethnic traditions and the training of one group, Africans and African Americans, in the boat-building and carpentry traditions of the dominant European group. Extensive additional field data is presented on barge-form craft as remains of this type of vessel contributed to the archaeological record in far greater numbers than any other. The preponderance of this form is interpreted as a manifestation of the magnitude of the South Carolina rice industry and the catastrophic nature of its cessation due to the Civil War of 1860-1865. Two types of construction are identified, one based on plank and frame (as opposed to plank on frame) methods, the other method utilizing massive chine-girder logs. Evidence is presented to demonstrate that, while the basic barge or flat design was similar throughout the study area, details of construction including chine-girder shaping, fastening methods, scarphing techniques, and bow/stern to side construction methods varied greatly. This is interpreted as a reflection of the individual skills of the plantation carpenters who were primarily responsible for the building of these craft. Evidence also is presented for an emerging dating technique based on the nature of construction methods, types of fastenings, and the size of lumber components of barge form craft. The research also suggests predictive models for determining the likelihood of further remains of specific vessel types ranging from rice cuIture flats to phosphate barges. Finally, appendices to this dissertation include 106 illustrations, a glossary of terms, a procedure for barge documentation, tables of conversions for metric measurements to English measurement on barges, and a discussion of weights and measurements for historic period cargoes and containers.

Abstract:

Urban design handlar om den byggda miljöns utformning som är nära sammankopplad med det sociala livet på gatorna. Den urbana designen är därför viktig i utvecklingen av städer. Studien är en fallstudie som utgörs av en platsanalys av stationssamhället Markaryd. Syftet är att bidra med kunskap om hur teorier och metoder inom urban design kan användas som analysverktyg inför en vidareutveckling av mindre tätorter som Markaryd. Platsanalysen presenterar brister och kvaliteter för att belysa platsens potential i den byggda miljön. Det bakomliggande problemen handlar om att Markaryds centrumhandel gått ned, att Markaryds stationsområde uppfattas som anonymt samt att centrum behöver göras mer attraktivt. Vi grundar undersökningen i ett fokus på hur det sociala livet i centrum kan stärkas, men inkluderar även till viss del de estetiska värdena. Undersökningen kom fram till att Markaryds problem i den urbana designen befinner sig på olika nivåer. I en utzoomad skala är tätortens stadsväv spridd som ett resultat av gles och fristående bebyggelse. Centrumhandeln har också gått ned, vilket resulterar i tomma lokaler i centrum. Detta får effekter på gatulivet eftersom det blir färre funktioner i centrum. Stora delar av centrums miljö har modernistiska drag vilket bidrar till en utdaterad design där sociala aspekter inte är i fokus. Tillsammans med bristande mötesplatser i utemiljön får det konsekvensen att få människor vistas i centrum. Studien visade även att de nya tågförbindelserna kan betraktas som en del i Markaryds skifte från bruksort och kyrkby till stationssamhälle. Skiftet är avgörande för den framtida utvecklingen av den byggda miljön i centrum och runt stationsområdet.
Urban design includes the formation of the built environment, which is closely connected to the social life of the streets. Therefore urban design is important in the development of cities. The study is a case study of the railway village Markaryd. It is composed by a site analysis of the urban design of the centre of Markryd. The purpose is to contribute with knowledge of how theories and methods in urban design can be used as an analysis-tool, before a development is implemented in smaller villages like Markaryd. The site analysis presents defects and qualities to highlight the potential of the built environment. The underlying problem is Markaryd’s commercial downfall, Markaryd’s railway station is perceived as anonymous and the centre needs to become more attractive. In our study the focus lies on how the social life can be strengthened in the centre, but partly also its aesthetical values. The results of the study shows that Markaryd’s problems in the urban design lies in different levels. In a larger scale the village’s urban tissue is scattered as a result of scarce and detached buildings. The commercial downfall results in empty facilities in the center. The reduced functions has consequences on the streetlife. Large parts of the city’s environment have modernistic features which results in an outdated design that lacks social aspects. Along with the absence of meetingplaces in the outdoor public space, the results is a general lack of people in the centre. The study also shows that the new train connections have been important for Markaryd, in the shift from mill town and church village to a railway village. The shift is crucial for the future development of the built environment in the centre and around the railway station.

Abstract:

The rapid growth and influence of social network services has led many scholars to focus on privacy issues. However, the research described in this thesis was motivated by the small number of design studies that have focused on practical approaches to identifying tacit information from users’ instant non-verbal responses to privacy issues. The research therefore aimed to propose persona models as a design solution for software agent development based on the analysis of users’ emotional and behavioural responses, so as to address privacy issues in social network services. In the definition phase, 21 stakeholders belonging to three key stakeholder groups were recruited for unstandardised semistructured email interviews. Three main considerations for the design of software agents in social network services emerged from the interviews, which were classified into the following categories: comprehensive understanding of users’ perceptions of privacy; user type recognition algorithm for software agent development; and existing software agent enhancement. In the development phase, 50 participants were recruited for the Facebook case study, which included three research strategies: perceptions of privacy questionnaire for user typology; emotional response measurement using Geneva Emotion Wheel; and behavioural response observation using a contextual inquiry method. The participants were classified into four user types by means of cluster analysis: uninformed, trustful, suspicious and neglectful. Each user type’s key emotional responses were identified using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test, and key behavioural responses using affinity diagrams. This generated persona models of each user type that reflected the correlations between users’ perceptions of privacy, key emotional responses and key behavioural responses. Two fundamental features of the software agent were also proposed based on the persona models: confirmation and guidance. In the validation phase, software agent prototypes were created based on the proposed persona models. A total of 206 participants completed the online survey which included two sections: perceptions of privacy questionnaire for user typology replication, and key emotional responses measurement before and after the intervention of the software agent prototypes. Cluster analysis replication validated the proposed user typology, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test of key emotional responses validated the proposed persona models. By implementing the research outcomes, the software agent described in this thesis would be able to provide users with appropriate services based on their user types, to reduce the number of those who are still unaware of privacy practice and those who neglect their accounts, and to expand the size of a user group pursuing sound relationships.

Abstract:

In this thesis, the problem of the principles of new designs in historic built landscapes is discussed. In approaching the problem, a theoretical framework is developed and the general principles regarding new buildings in historic settings are derived from the theoretical context. Subsequently, the proposed principles is tried to be adapted to the case of Odunpazari historic urban fabric. Finally, a Youth Center for a specific Project Area in Odunpazari is proposed, and the integration of the proposal to the context is evaluated. The foremost aim of the thesis is proposing general principles concerning good architecture that continues and contributes to the spirit of place, and adapting them for a specific design problem in a specific place in order to evaluate the efficiency of the principles proposed. In developing the theoretical framework, it was discussed that, in determination of the principles for new designs, the historic built landscape should be handled in a way that resolves the network of relationships and allow the definition of the spirit of place. The methodology of understanding the spirit of place was established with reference to the approaches developed by Christopher Alexander and Christian Norberg-Schulz. According to the studies by these scholars, a triad layer system in resolving the spirit of place is developed. As named by Christian Norberg-Schulz, the layers of Gestalts, typologies and figures constituted the analytical framework leading to the resolution of the network of relationships between the components of a place. This model of analyzing and defining the spirit of place was found valuable, since it does not only focuses on the formal aspects of the historic built landscape, but also questions the main rules forming the unity and coherence of place. Odunpazari traditional urban fabric is selected as a case study, and its physical, historical, social and economical context is evaluated by the help of the literature and site surveys. Finally, a &

Abstract:

Citations allow researchers to define relationships across articles and develop arguments by building on the work of others. This study explores citation of theory symbols in Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) academic articles. The term theory symbol is used to define a concept that, after its original publication, is subsequently incorporated by later writers through citation. Exploring the citation history of the seminal publications makes it possible to trace theory symbol use over time and thus to trace its dissemination in the field. A typology of theory symbol use in IDT academic publication is developed through a citation context analysis (CCA) of a sample of articles published in Educational Technology Research and Development (ETRD) and its predecessor journals (1953–2012) which incorporate theory symbols through citation. This analysis contributes to an understanding of how theory has shaped IDT disciplinary knowledge and augments discourse analysis and bibliometrics by examining the context in which theory is incorporated into academic publication.

Abstract:

This document serves as a mini dissertation in the professional Master of Architecture degree in the Department of Architecture at the University of Pretoria. It focuses on the educational ecosystem within the context of South Africa, with emphasis placed on the economically distressed environment of Mamelodi East. Mamelodi is a township situated in the north east of the City of Tshwane, Gauteng. Due to the location of the University of Pretoria’s Mamelodi Campus, this area has been a study of investigation for many faculties over the years. The spatial consequences of architecture on the educational ecosystem are questioned, with focus placed on the shift in the learning environment towards lifelong learning. The dissertation deals with this concept from the perspective of the holistic development of a person through the qualitative social activities of learning. Lifelong learning is explored throughout the dissertation from a spatial and non-spatial point of view. The spatial conversation deals with the intersection between architecture and education, whilst the non-spatial conversation advocates for a relationship between a community and its school, as integral in achieving lifelong learning. The study is grounded in a typological understanding of the schooling environment that arises as a result of South African educational policy documents. A critical stance is taken where the resulting school typology is challenged in relation to context. The intention is to redefine the current teacher-centric classroom and corridor typology. It is proposed that the schooling environment should be publicly redefined and serve as a support structure within its context, instead of isolating the educational experience. This is explored through the concepts of building as a boundary and building for pedagogy with the resulting development of a spatial matrix to provide architectural definition to South African educational policy. Tsako Thabo Secondary School was used as a case study school for the application of the matrix principles, however it is intended that these principles could be applied to other schools within similar contexts and typologies to achieve lifelong learning potential. Both the research and design process of the dissertation has been directed through the lens of Participatory Action Research (PAR) involving co-design and spatial agency theories. Particular focus within the co-design process was given to the development of design games as a mediation tool. An intimate use of both analogue and digital design games has been applied throughout.

Abstract:

O modelo tradicional de ensino está pautado em uma educação bancária, prioritariamente informativa, desestimulante e descontextualizada de seu momento histórico, que é caracterizado pela informação de fácil acesso e comunicação em esfera global. Neste panorama, pesquisas apontam que os estudantes vêm apresentando baixo desempenho em ciências. Há, portanto, a necessidade de estudos que levem em consideração esta realidade educacional no intuito de propor estratégias inovadoras de ensino. Neste cenário, games digitais apresentam grande potencialidade, pois são atrativos, contribuem para o desenvolvimento cognitivo e podem propiciar o desenvolvimento de preceitos científicos. O grande problema é que, apesar de atraírem legiões de jogadores, games digitais comerciais geralmente não apresentam grandes preocupações pedagógicas, uma vez que não são desenvolvidos para esta finalidade. Ainda que se pense nos games digitais educativos, estes apresentam características antagônicas aos comerciais, pois são normalmente constituídos de um arcabouço excessivo de informações, sem muita preocupação com aspectos imersivos. Assim, na tentativa de correlacionar ensino de ciências com os aspectos epistemológicos presentes nos games digitais educativos e com os aspectos imersivos presentes nos games digitais comerciais, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste no desenvolvimento de uma tipologia e na criação de uma matriz de análise para jogos com potencial para uso educacional. Na etapa teórica do projeto, desenvolvemos a fundamentação da matriz, baseada em três elementos constituintes. São eles: Referencial educativo, baseado na Teoria Antropológica do Didático; Imersão, baseada na Teoria do Flow; e Mecânica Lúdica. Posteriormente, verificamos a aplicabilidade da tipologia e da matriz na análise de jogos e das interações entre jogadores e situações de jogo. É importante destacar que a pesquisa foi desenvolvida com alunos do ensino médio de uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo. Dentre os resultados obtidos, destaca-se correlação entre aspectos imersivos e praxeológicos das plataformas de jogos.
The traditional Teaching model is based on a banking education, primarily informative, discouraging and decontextualized of its historical moment, which is characterized by information of easy access and communication in global sphere. In this panorama, research shows that students have been performing poorly in science. Therefore, there is a need for studies that take into account this educational reality in order to propose innovative teaching strategies. In this scenario, digital games present great potentiality, as they are attractive, contribute to cognitive development and can foster the development of scientific precepts. The big problem is that, despite attracting legions of players, commercial digital games generally do not present major pedagogical concerns as they are not developed for this purpose. Although digital educational games are thought of, they present characteristics antagonistic to the commercial ones, since they are usually constituted of an excessive information framework, without much concern with immersive aspects. Thus, in an attempt to correlate science with the epistemological aspects present in digital educational games and with the immersive aspects present in commercial digital games, The objective of this work is the development of a typology and the creation of an analysis matrix for games with potential for educational use. In the theoretical stage of the project, we developed the foundation of the matrix, based on three constituent elements: Educational Reference, based on the Didactic Anthropological Theory (TAD); Immersion, based on Flow Theory; And playful Mechanics. Subsequently, we verified the applicability of typology and matrix in game analysis and interactions between players and game situations. It is important to highlight that the research was developed with high school students of a Public School of the State of São Paulo. Among the results obtained, there is a correlation between immersive and praxeological aspects of gaming platforms.

Resumo: Diferentes métodos computacionais têm sido discutidos desde o movimento dos métodos da década de 1960, na tentativa de ajudar os arquitetos a melhor estruturar e gerenciar o processo de projeto. Entretanto, atualmente o uso do computador encontra-se cada vez mais voltado para a representação do projeto arquitetônico, enquanto conceitos e métodos computacionais raramente são expressos no processo de projeto. Na tentativa de explorar o uso da computação como uma técnica que efetivamente auxilie o arquiteto no processo de projeto em arquitetura, a presente pesquisa buscou investigar as possíveis relações entre o paradigma da orientação a objetos e o processo de projeto arquitetônico. Para ilustrar o processo de projeto arquitetônico, baseado no método da orientação a objetos, algumas implementações foram desenvolvidas com o uso da linguagem de programação Visual Basic for Applications para AutoCAD. Os conceitos de classes e de objetos ¿ bem como suas propriedades e métodos ¿ foram usados para estabelecer uma analogia com a forma como o arquiteto estrutura o problema de projeto. Espera-se que essa pesquisa possa ajudar estudantes de arquitetura a desenvolverem uma nova compreensão do processo de projeto
Abstract: Different computational methods have been used since the design methods movement in the 1960¿s with the aim of helping architects to better structure and manage the design process. However, the use of computers is currently more commonly used for design representation, while computational concepts and methods are rarelly expressed in the design process. Trying to explore the use of computation as a technique that can effectively assist the architect in the design process, the present investigated the relationship between the object-oriented programming paradigm and the architecturual design process. To illustrate the architectural design process based on the object-oriented method, some implementations were developed with the use of Visual Basic for Applications in AutoCAD. Concepts such as object and class, along with their properties and methods, were used to establish an analogy with the way the architect structures the design problem. This research is expected to help architecture students develop a new understanding of the design process

Abstract:

Les évolutions des enjeux environnementaux et de la réglementation Européenne impliquent que la conception des produits automobiles s'appuie sur des évaluations environnementales des solutions de natures " systémiques ". L'ACV est la seule approche véritablement reconnue pour mesurer la performance environnementale des systèmes, en identifiant les étapes et les activités les plus polluantes sur l'ensemble de leur cycle de vie. Les résultats d'ACV permettent donc de prendre des mesures ou d'établir des stratégies de réduction des impacts environnementaux dès la phase de conception, en fournissant un retour d'expérience sur les solutions techniques évaluées. Pour ce faire, l'ACV doit être réellement intégrée et exploitée en temps réel dans le processus de conception. Cette condition est le seul moyen de " garantir " une " réelle et efficace " prise en compte de la performance environnementale des nouveaux produits dans les prises de décisions de conception. En effet, puisque une part importante de ces décisions revient aux concepteurs, l'implication de ces derniers dans l'évaluation environnementale est incontournable pour disposer d'un maximum d'espace d'éco-conception innovante. L'ACV dans sa forme normalisée et commercialisée s'avère cependant trop complexe pour être directement intégrée dans le processus de conception. Les difficultés majeures se posent sur l'appropriation même de l'outil par les concepteurs et sur son intégration dans le processus de conception. Nous avons développé et expérimenté durant cette thèse, au sein de l'équipementier Faurecia, une nouvelle méthodologie permettant d'opérationnaliser l'ACV en conception. Elle repose sur trois principes. Le premier principe porte sur une standardisation des hypothèses et du périmètre de la modélisation ACV pour un système produit dans une même entreprise. Le second principe consiste en une restitution du profil environnemental d'un produit sans passer par la modélisation ACV, grâce à une approche fictive par des "fonctions d'impacts". Le troisième principe vise à la simplification de l'interprétation des résultats d'ACV par les concepteurs, en réduisant le nombre de critères à prendre en compte et en facilitant leur compréhension grâce à la création d'un référentiel par familles de produits.

Abstract:

In recent years, the incidence of non-state actors and social control have been configured as a public policy problem. fte present article is framed inside of the public policy analysis and for it is used the frame explanatory of the design of the policy through the analysis of the instruments of NATO typology. fte work is structured based on an analysis of congruence that allows to generate a logical coherence of a historical narrative of the countries analyzed. fte case study is the free and informed consultation in the hydrocarbons policies of Peru and Ecuador. fte main argument is that the objectives assumed by the government for the hydrocarbons sector become in the implementation of policies that affecting positively or negatively the social control in the sector. Within a comparative analysis, it is studied how these objectives come to consolidate and to generate a normative and institutional change within the analyzed sector, causing the indigenous participation to be affected in a way that generates a deficit of social control in the Ecuadorian case; and strengthening it for the Peruvian case.
En los últimos años, la incidencia de los actores no estatales y el control social se ha configurado como un problema de política pública. El presente artículo se enmarca dentro del análisis de las políticas públicas y para ello se utiliza el marco explicativo del diseño de la política mediante el análisis de los instrumentos de la tipología NATO. El trabajo se estructura sobre la base de un análisis de congruencia, el cual permite generar una coherencia lógica de una narrativa histórica de los países analizados. El caso de estudio es la consulta previa, libre e informada en las políticas hidrocarburíferas de Perú y Ecuador. El argumento principal es que los objetivos asumidos por el Gobierno para el sector hidrocarburífero devienen en la implementación de políticas, las cuales afectan positiva o negativamente el control social en el sector. Dentro de un análisis comparativo, se estudia cómo estos objetivos llegan a consolidarse y a generar un cambio normativo e institucional dentro del sector analizado, lo que determina que la participación indígena se vea afectada de manera que se genera un déficit de control social en el caso ecuatoriano; y el fortalecimiento del mismo para el caso peruano.

"Patterns and predictability of visual attention in different street types : An eye tracking study exploring the predictability of the distribution of human visual attention based on the spatial arrangements of buildings in a two-dimensional plan."

Abstract:

Streets are the most resilient elements in a city. While buildings are replaced and property borders redrawn, the streets remain. The primary means of planning new streets and the built environment surrounding it is by the creation of a two-dimensional plan - in a Swedish context called a detailed development plan. The two-dimensional plan is sometimes criticized for its inability to take the three-dimensional world into account and thus its inability to predict the actual outcome of the plan. To address this critique and provide additional understanding for this planning device, this paper empirically explores if the distribution of visual attention can be predicted from a two-dimensional plan. Visual attention is explored due to sight being the most prominent means used by humans to gather information in the urban environment. Fifteen subjects performed a simple, computerized eye-tracking experiment, whereby their visual attention was measured as they looked at 40 images on a monitor. The 40 images depicts four different street types: blocked, open, curved and angled, each of which was represented with a simple figure image, as per interpretation from a two-dimensional plan, as well as a photograph of the same environment, representing the actual outcome of the plan. The results show that the simple figure images have effective predictive capabilities, as the distribution of visual attention exhibited a similar pattern in both the figure image and the photograph. The results also show that different patterns of visual attention are evoked by each of the four different street types. In sum, the results indicate that two-dimensional plans are able to predict the future three-dimensional outcome of a given plan in terms of visual attention. These indications are valuable for planners, architects, engineers and decision-makers when planning for new urban environments. The results are also valuable for understanding human perception of streets in a wider context.

La finalidad del proyecto es demostrar que se debe considerar una tipología educativa particular para el tipo de usuario. Más aun, cuando la evolución de los Centros Educativos está optando por eliminar las barreras físicas y fomentar la interacción, aspectos que dificultarían el bienestar de las personas con Autismo. Esto favorecería su tratamiento a temprana edad, dándoles mayor posibilidad de desarrollarse y ser parte de la sociedad. La respuesta arquitectónica es resultado de una investigación y análisis previo de las dificultades que presenta el usuario, esta se basa en los siguientes conceptos: simplicidad y legibilidad, los cuales, a su vez, se relacionan con la percepción y orientación. La organización en base a un eje distribuidor y la conexión Interior-Exterior o Espacio-Naturaleza se ve reflejado en cada paquete funcional del proyecto.
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate that a particular educative typology must be considered for the type of user. Even more, when the evolution of the educational centers is opting to remove physical barriers and promote interaction, aspects that would hinder the well being of autistic people. This would favor their treatment at a young age, giving them a bigger possibility to develop and being part of the society. The architectonic answer is the result of an investigation and after analysis of the difficulties that the user presents, it is based in the next concepts: simplicity, readability, which, at the same time, are related to perception and orientation. The organization, based on a distributor shaft and the interior-exterior connection or space-nature is reflected in every functional package of the project.

Everything is precise and given in the Model; everything is more or less vague in the Type."

Abstract:

Modifier l'appellation ou la couleur d'un produit pour un marché particulier est déjà une première démarche d'adaptation aux utilisateurs. Concevoir en prenant en compte les aspects structurants d'une culture est une forme d'adaptation des produits encore plus aboutie. La prise en compte de la culture des utilisateurs est un des aspects du débat autour de la globalisation qui concerne directement le design industriel. C'est un enjeu économique important pour les entreprises qui cherchent à différencier leurs produits. Le design industriel s'est emparé de ce questionnement sous la forme d'une éthique culturelle du respect de la diversité. Sur ces aspects, aucune évolution de la recherche ou de la pratique professionnelle n'était encore observable. Notre recherche fait appel aux sciences humaines pour définir la culture. Cela nous a conduit à montrer que tous les produits, quels que soient leurs modes de production et leurs concepteurs, sont des éléments d'une culture. Nous avons dû élargir la notion d'adaptation des produits aux utilisateurs pour intégrer les aspects liés à la culture. Notre recherche nous a permis de construire une typologie de produits en fonction de leur niveau d'adaptation et des marchés concernés. Cette typologie a été pensée comme un outil d'aide à la décision pour les acteurs de la conception. Elle a été validée empiriquement et confrontée à des cas industriels. Son utilisation permet de définir le niveau d'adaptation d'un produit aux utilisateurs de différentes cultures et de vérifier dans le processus de conception l'adéquation entre ce choix et les outils employés.

Abstract:

Cette thèse étudie la naissance et l’évolution de cinéma comme type architectural en examinant deux-cent projets soumis, entre 1907 et 1939, à l’administration parisienne pour le permis de construire. Ceux-ci sont analysés selon quatre critères : l’implantation, les protagonistes, la conception architecturale et la réception des œuvres. Le parc cinématographique parisien, à la veille de la Seconde Guerre, est le résultat de trois vagues de constructions à la suite des événements marquants : la naissance du cinéma narratif (1907-1913), l’Armistice (1919-1920), l’avènement du parlant (1931-1938). Ces trois vagues riment avec trois phases successives dans la genèse du nouveau type : l’expérimentation, la théorisation et la modernisation. Ainsi est mise en évidence la constitution, dès 1907, d’un type originel architecturalement caractérisé par la triade projection-visibilité-publicité. Il en dérive, par la suite, différentes espèces qui, malgré leurs variations, restent « un hangar noir » plus ou moins judicieusement disposés et décorés pour un spectacle projeté sur écran, hangar doublé extérieurement d’une façade parlante et peu ou prou attrayante
This thesis explores the emergence and the evolution of the cinema as a building type. It examines two hundred projects submitted to the Parisian administration for obtaining construction permits, from 1907 to 1939. These projects are analyzed according to four major criteria: localization, protagonists, architectural design and their reception. At the beginning of the Second World War, Parisian cinemas were mostly built through three waves of constructions subsequent to historical events: emergence of narrative cinema (1907-1913), end of the First World War (1919-1920), arrival of talkies (1931-1938). These three waves correspond with three successive phases in the rise of the new building type: experimentation, theorization, modernization. This study demonstrates that an original building type has been created since 1907, which is architecturally characterized by the trio of projection- visibility-appeal. From this original type different pieces are derived, that despite their variations are all a blind shed less or more judiciously designed and decorated for a show projected on the screen, a blind box covered by an attractive and expressive façade

Abstract:

У дисертації розглянуто етапи формування архітектурно-планувальної та об’ємнопросторової організації пасажів у структурі центрів великих історичних міст на прикладі Львова. Система міських пасажів Львова остаточно сформувалася до 1925 року, коли було закінчено всі оздоблювальні роботи в Марійському пасажі. Історично в місті функціонувало 19 пасажів, це як правило були торгові вулиці з контрольованим заїздом, класичними в розумінні пасажами були лише пасаж Міколяша, Марійський пасаж та базар Гредлів. У дисертаційній роботі наведено результати дослідження з історії розвитку пасажів як архітектурно-функціональних елементів центрів міст. Визначено основні історичні функціонально-просторові типи пасажів та їх композиційно-планувальні принципи організації. На основі перелічених чинників сформовано ряд рекомендацій з проектування, відтворення та реставрації пасажів в умовах історично сформованого середовища центрів міст. В диссертации рассмотрены этапы формирования архитектурно-планировочной и объемно-пространственной организации пассажей в структуре центра крупных исторических городов на примере Львова. Система городских пассажей Львова окончательно сформировалась к 1925 году, когда было закончено все отделочные работы в Марийском пассаже. Исторически в городе функционировало 19 пассажей, это, как правило, были торговые улицы с контролируемым въездом, классическими в понимании пассажами были только пассаж Миколяша, Марийский пассаж и базар Гредлив. В диссертационной работе приведены результаты исследования по истории развития пассажей как архитектурно-функциональных элементов в центре городов. Определены основные исторические функционально-пространственные типы пассажей и их композиционно-планировочные принципы организации. На основе перечисленных факторов сформирован ряд рекомендаций по проектированию, воспроизводства и реставрации пассажей в условиях исторически сложившегося среды центров городов. The PhD degree thesis examines the problems of formation of architectural – planning and spatial organization passages in the structure of the centers of large historical cities on the example of Lviv. The system of city passages of Lviv was finally formed by 1925, when all the finishing works in Mariysky Passage were completed. Historically, there were 19 passages in the city, as a rule there were shopping streets with controlled arrival, the classic passages were only the passage of Mikolyash, Maria Passage and Gredliv Bazaar. The dissertation presents the results of research on the history of passages as architectural and functional elements of urban centers. The main historical functional-spatial types of passages and their compositional-planning principles of organization are determined. Based on these factors, a number of recommendations for the design, reproduction and restoration of passages in the historically formed environment of urban centers.

Abstract:

In view of the complexity characterizing the contemporary discipline of academic theology, there is a need for functional models. Against the background of significant developments in twentieth-century theology, this thesis attempts to develop an analytical model which can make sense of some of the complexity characterizing this field. More specifically, the aim is to produce a model which can be used to distinguish between and relate different theological positions to each other at a meta-level. This is achieved through the elaboration of a two-dimensional typology composed of four quadrants representing distinct theological orientations. The proposed model and its analytical categories form the basis for a discussion of some key figures and themes in modern theology, with a particular emphasis on eschatologically oriented theologies. Finally, on the basis of preceding discussions, a case is made for theology’s ability to fulfill a vital cultural-critical role in a secular context.

Due to the transformation of economic structure, it is unavoidable for Wang-An to be developed as a tour center of the South Sea (to found the tour network and an ecology museum). Therefore, the original settlement space and ecology environment will be fatally influenced. Focusing on an existent space form that faces future development, this research suggests a viewpoint and a design theory that satisfy the following requirement: lasting the traditional architecture type and corresponding to the local ecological environment. Two major theses are as follow: 1. Site Planing : Through realization of site background, official site plan guideline determined by the county government, site condition analysis and rough tour facility system plan, I choose a site which is suitable for Wang-An Eco-Museum to locate in and start the architecture design as a final result of design practice. Then I set the museum as a center as the linkage of my research which separated into two parts: outside the building, I discuss the relationship between settlement / architecture, architecture / ecology, and architecture groups while inside the building, the relationship among architecture, ecology museum, human being and the society when it comes to the transformation of existent space. 2. Architecture Design : Basis on typology as the theory of research, I discuss the continuity of traditional architecture and settlement space. With a positive and progressive attitude, I face the disjunction and transformation between tradition and modern. On the other hand, I set up the origin of architecture space and concept of museum as the key point of research while discussing the type of museum space. It leads to the same direction with typology that catches the most original and direct concept of the character of architecture when analyzing space form. After an essential and s logical study of form of space, I suggest a development and progress possibility of future leisure architecture, which fits the present Wang-An settlement space.

abstract: This dissertation examines the conditions that foster or hinder success of university-based community design centers (CDCs) in the United States. Little is known about the normative underpinnings of CDCs, how successful these centers have been, which factors have contributed to or impeded their success, and how they have responded to the changes in social, political, professional and economic contexts. Adopting Giddens' theory of structuration as a research framework, this study examined CDCs via a mixed-methods sequential research design: a cross-sectional survey of CDCs on current definitions of success and metrics in use; and in-depth interviews to document the centers' histories of change or stasis, and how these changes influenced their successes. The findings of the first phase were utilized to develop a comprehensive success model for current CDCs that comprise measures related to organizational impacts, activities, and capacities. In the multiple case study analysis, four major rationales were identified: universities for public service, pragmatist learning theories, civic professionalism, and social change. These four rationales were evident in all of the studied cases at varying degrees. Using the concept of permeability, the study also exemplified how the processes of CDCs had transformative impacts in institutional, societal, and personal contexts. Multidisciplinarity has also emerged as a theme for the current organizational transformations of CDCs. The main argument that emerged from these findings is that it is not possible to identify a singular model or best practice for CDCs. The strengths and unique potentials of CDCs depend on the alternative rationales, involved agencies, and their social, political and spatial contexts. However, capitalizing on the distinctive attributes of the institutional context (i.e. the university), I consider some possibilities for university-based CDCs with an interdisciplinary structure, pushing the professional, curricular, and institutional boundaries, and striving for systemic change and social justice. In addition to contributing to the theoretical knowledge base, the findings provide useful information to various CDCs across the country, particularly today as they struggle with financial constraints while the community needs they provide are increasingly in demand. Since CDCs have a long history of community service and engagement, the findings can inform other university-community partnerships.

Abstract:

Increasingly, disability related literature recognizes the environment as an important factor in the participation in roles and in engagement in activities for individuals with disabilities; which would naturally make the environment an important concern for occupational therapists (Hammel et al., 2015). The language and methods to describe and analyze the characteristics of the environment that support or limit client participation in occupations are not as well developed in occupational therapy (Whiteneck & Djickers, 2009). This is an important gap in our practice that must be addressed. Guided by Person-Environment-Occupation Theory (Baptiste, 2017), this project attempted to address this need by developing a typology of terms for contextual factors that affect participation. It was completed with the belief that providing the terminology will increase the attention provided to these factors in practice. Environmental interventions can be more universal, are often less expensive, and change the focus from the individual’s deficits to how society can be more just and inclusive. We created the typology using a scoping review methodology to identify source literature and by searching through the selected literature for the environmental and contextual terms describing factors that impact participation. The resulting typology is divided into four areas with twelve categories of terms and 54 total terms. It aligns with the International Classification of Function (WHO, 2001) and the performance factors in the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (AOTA, 2014). The typology is designed and meant for use across OT practice areas, in OT education, research and scholarship. This will require wide spread dissemination. A dissemination plan based on Diffusion of Innovations Theory (Rogers ,2010) starts by refining the typology with the guidance of assessment from stakeholders. After this refinement process, the typology will be introduced via outreach to occupational therapy programs, publications, and conference presentations. Widely used, this typology has the potential to expand the scope of occupational therapy and to make our interventions more effective in improving and increasing participation for more people.
