In a fast-forwarded Brooklyn, the over-building of luxury towers leads to a real estate bubble burst. Waterfront rents stagnate, and entire buildings sit abandoned. In a city defined by divisions, a social movement emerges. An architect and her band of social subversives descend on an empty tower. They begin altering their living spaces with deviant acts of connection. United by an opposition to divisions, they wage a war on the party wall. The ideology of the existing plan is at odds with the ideology of its occupants. The plan relies on privacy and separation, leaving social programs near the street and far from everyday living spaces. The social subversives are wary of the intolerance produced by the echo chambers of their Twitter feeds and believe that home can be a space of resistance to neo-tribalism, if daily ritual is interrupted by interactions with the other. Their manifesto reads, "We aim to reveal, to conceal, to upend the everyday through a new set of architectural operations." The operations take on the redundancies of side-by-side private programs and elicit new types of social interaction. An opening in the wall above a dining room table, for example, allows neighbors to momentarily become company for a meal. The manipulation of the interior imbues the minutiae of domestic life with unexpected social forms. Over time, as markets shift and members of the group move on and out, the afterlives of these interventions vary. Some new neighbors accept them as idiosyncrasies of the city's housing stock. Most fight to undo them, but the acts have already been committed. However short-lived, they have already produced their intended effect, a disruption of the everyday.

There is an ever-present demand for Mosques in American cities to accommodate the more than 8 percent of the American population that are Muslims; the majority of which are American-born Muslims or American converts. However, Muslim-American communities have implemented the same architectural vocabulary of mosques seen in the Middle East into their American neighborhoods. Nevertheless, this architectural transplantation from the Middle East to America does not come without problems. The weaving of Middle Eastern architectural culture with an American application of Islam, which is prominent within Modern American society, gives rise to internal tensions felt within the community, in particular to the issue of Muslim women's' place in community mosques. Through the numerous case studies and investigations of the American Mosques that I documented, it is clear that the community does not provide adequate spaces for their women members. My thesis explores the process of modifying and developing a new architectural vocabulary for the American mosques within the confinements and boundaries in Islam, in particular, creating an adequate space for women. A lack of attention to the needs of American Muslim women in the states has caused a gender conflict over the adequacy of spaces for Muslim women within American mosques. For example, in the 2006 controversial documentary titled the "Mosque of Morgantown"1 , located in West Virginia, a significant dilemma was created dividing the Muslim community residing in the United States. The "Mosque of Morgantown" set the social precedent for some Muslim women to question some of the religious rulings regarding prayers and set the tone for numerous other protests, of which the most recent occurred at the Islamic Center of Washington DC. In early part of 2010, the Islamic Center of Washington D.C.2 had an outburst of escalating tensions between genders. Thirty Washington D.C. women united in protest and refused to pray in the basement of the mosque, which was their designated area of worship. Instead they decided to attend prayers under the same roof as the men during worship. This seemingly simple act of protest was frowned upon. The Imam of the mosque declared that the allocated rows were for men only. The presence of women in the rows resulted in the delay of the obligatory Friday prayer that is mandatory for men in Islam. Through these incidences, it is clear that an investigation of a new architectural expression, within the confinement of the religion, for women-driven spaces needs to be conducted.

Full textThe notion of place as something at once geographic, socio-cultural and psychological is a ubiquitous concern in the novels of Zakes Mda. It is surely not by chance that Mda's interest in the novelistic form, which materialised in the publication of Ways of Dying in 1995, was roughly coincident with South Africa's fledgling democracy a year earlier. The end of apartheid meant the opportunity of exploring new forms of cultural discourse untrammeled by the intense politicisation of art that had tended to collapse the literary with the didactic in rather one-dimensional ways. Mda's consideration of place, this thesis argues, is one instance of such an exploration. More specifically, it examines the intersection of the social and the spatial in two of his novels: Ways of Dying and The Heart of Redness. Starting at the junction of race, politics and literature, it moves into how the country's changing physical and political boundary lines have effected new ways of relating to its spaces. The focus of the Ways of Dying chapter is on urban space, where migrants and settled urbanites must reconcile the rather fragmented and cosmopolitan character of the city.

Subways play crucial transportation roles in our cities, but they also act as unique public spaces, distinguished by specific design characteristics, governed by powerful state-run institutions, and subject to intense public scrutiny and social debate. This thesis takes the case of the United States' oldest subway system-Boston's T-and explores how and why its spaces and regulations over their appropriate use have changed over time in response to public perceptions, political battles, and broader social forces. I use data collected from historical newspaper archives, published reports, and official agency records to detail how the city's subway authorities-first the Boston Elevated Railway Company, then the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), and presently the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)-have sought to manage and shape these unique underground spaces and simultaneously maintain an image of order and control within them. My research reveals and more closely examines three major factors that have influenced the changing controls over subway space usage in Boston: (1) the highly specific design constraints and unique physical aspects of the city's subway spaces; (2) evolving values and ideologies embedded within the transit agencies that are continuously seeking to promote a positive image of themselves; and (3) persisting public perceptions of subway spaces, many of which revolve around historical fears of the unknown and unfamiliar. By highlighting these complex hidden processes at work within Boston's underground realm, this thesis promotes a careful reexamination of a heavily used yet underappreciated urban space for the purposes of better understanding our experiences with and connections to the city.

To date, the reuse of abandoned railroad rights-of-way has occurred primarily in suburban and rural areas. However, a new generation of urban rail corridor conversions appears to be underway. More urban in more places than prior rail-to-trail projects, the next generation of rail corridor conversions reflects a broader and more complex notion of rail-to-trail projects. These urban projects are more likely to begin with goals and assumptions that look beyond the traditional emphasis on recreation and commuting. They also tend to be more sensitive to changing contexts along a single right-of-way, can serve as focal points or catalysts for other development efforts and involve a wide range of actors and funding sources. The unique opportunities and challenges of disused urban rail corridors suggest the need for new ways of designing and interpreting urban linear space, as well as the need for an expanded technical and financial resource base to support these efforts. This thesis pursues multiple objectives. Chapter 2 reflects on the basic characteristics of urban rail corridors, the linear attributes that make them desirable for reuse and the potential challenges of working in a linear landscape. The second part of this chapter describes the history and evolution of rail corridor conversions as a planning and urban design concept and surveys relevant literature on the subject. Chapter 3 considers existing urban rail-to-trail precedents and describes the most recent generation of urban rail-to-trail projects, drawing on the experience of five ongoing rail-to-trail conversion projects in Boston, Gainesville, Minneapolis, New York City and the District of Columbia. It identifies six typologies for thinking about urban rail-to-trail projects and highlights specific issues encountered in the planning and design of such projects. Chapter 4 contains a more detailed case study of efforts to convert the New Haven, Connecticut segment of the Farmington Canal rail corridor into a greenway. Chapter 5 concludes with a set of guiding principles and action items for future work in this area, as well as proposed directions for further research.

In the past few decades, arts organizations have played an increasingly significant role in the development of vibrant spaces that improve the livelihoods of people and transform the quality of the urban environment. Innovative art spaces - ones that devise new methods of approaching the creation of space using familiar elements - are gaining attention because of their ability to navigate the challenges of developing affordable and usable art space. These new models of art space, whether they are repurposed storefronts or sustainable buildings, have far-reaching effects on the physical, social, and economic fabric of their surrounding communities. This thesis examines four innovative art spaces in New York City, Boston, and the greater Los Angeles area. Each case study features unique approaches to space, programming, community engagement, cross-sector partnerships, funding, and sustainability. My focus is on the following questions: (1) What are the factors that make an art space innovative and transformative? (2) What are the successes and challenges in the development of these art spaces? (3) How can cities cultivate these types of art spaces? Through site visits, interviews with organizational leaders, funders, and other stakeholders, and research with secondary sources, I explore these questions and identify major themes that add to our understanding of how successful and innovative art spaces are conceived. This thesis offers recommendations for city planners, policymakers, arts organizations, and artist entrepreneurs on how to approach the development of art space, including adapting successful elements of these models in their own contexts.

Full textStay-at-home fathers, male primary caretakers of their children, represent an emergent form of fatherhood challenging gendered stereotypes related to breadwinning, caretaking, and parenting. This study explores, from a social constructionist and feminist perspective informed by critical men’s studies, social psychology, and psychoanalysis, how stay-at- home fathering is socially constructed across gendered everyday social spaces and places. More specifically, the focus is on how the social dynamics within the everyday spaces and places of these men are shaped by cultural stereotypes and gendered interactions. Nine White, middle-class, college-educated, heterosexual stay-at-home fathers taking care of at least one child under the age of 12 and married to a breadwinning wife were interviewed. The transcribed interviews were coded using an inductive thematic analysis applying a narrative methodology. A typology of five social spaces and places is proposed and theorized. Each gendered space and place identified is associated with distinct affective experiences by the stay-at-home fathers and gendered social dynamics that oppress, affirm, or validate the men’s identity as male caretakers. The gendered stereotypes of “The Hero,” “The Pervert of the Playground,” “The Unwelcome Intruder,” “The Man Among Men,” and “The Communal Father” are proposed. Conceptually, gender dualism, the repertoire of possible male caretaker identities, and the challenges of embodied masculine caretaking are discussed. Stay-at-home fathers struggle with documented loneliness and social isolation; the findings presented have important clinical implications for counselors and therapists working with stay-at-home fathers.
Key words: stay-at-home father, identity, loneliness, isolation, stereotype, social interaction, gendered space, social geography, public spaces, private spaces, social dynamics, social constructionism, doing gender, masculine care, emergent masculinity, playground, playgroup, volunteering.

"Authenticity, Citizenship and Accommodation: LGBT Rights in a Red State" examines the discourse around volunteerism, exceptionalism, and queer citizenship that emerged within the context of a statewide (anti-gay) ballot initiative campaign in the American Southwest. I argue that the ways in which local volunteers and activists define themselves and their attempts to defeat the ballot initiative is tied to the struggle over the authority to represent local LGBT organizational culture and an emergent New West identity. In such a way, local debates over authentic western lifestyles that divide regional communities intertwine with intergenerational debates over gay liberation and rights frameworks, and the polarized discourse on blue and red states which have dominated the U.S. political climate of the past decade. While statewide campaign leaders with a base in Phoenix (the state capital) focused on polling data and messaging in order to stop the passage of the amendment, many Tucson activists and organizational leaders tied to the LGBT community center sought to strategize a long-term grassroots approach to change hearts and minds. Within this debate over campaign strategy and internal decision-making, both groups drew attention to the differences between the metropolitan areas. This regional example speaks to the ways in which established theoretical frameworks anthropologists utilize to understand social movements may prove insufficient for understanding the diversity that exists within the everyday processes of collective action. The internal messaging war that spilled outside of the confines of the campaign steering committee meetings into the pages of the statewide gossip and newspaper editorial sections also speaks to the ways in which official declarations of ideological stance should not be taken as the actual intent of those seeking change. One may shape one's personal story to be on message, choose to defy those constraints, or use the rhetorical strategy of the message without actually committing to the underlying premise. The broader national concerns are localized symbolically in the notion of blue and red counties, but also take on a regional flavor in the satirical call to statehood for the Southern Arizona. Here issues of authenticity emerge not only within the context of the campaign disputes around messaging, and by extension, who has the right to speak for and about the LGBT organizational community, but also in the realm of derisive banter that travels back and forth between the two major metropolitan areas over what it means to live an authentic western lifestyle. Within the southern metropolis, this discourse is framed by the notion that the western desert is a different sort of place, with a different sort of people and way of life that is threatened by snowbirds, retirees, Midwestern lifestyles and corporate interests. Often Phoenix to the north is seen as a representation of all these negative influences. In addition, Center-based activists and volunteers, describe their southern city in idealistic terms as an oasis for LGBT community, artists, activists, migrants, refugees, and all manner of progressive politics. Memory enacted through the telling of one's story at a Coming Out Day testimonial, political rallies and in dialogue with an anthropologist are shaped by these notions of difference. These notions of difference also emerge as a pattern in the narrative construction of space, violence and memory within activist life histories. These life histories in turn reveal a fragment of local LGBT organizational culture, in which the process of professionalization transforms the meaning of community, and the act of representation transforms the role of activist into that of the citizen volunteer. The community center in this sense is a memorialization of community and movement culture, and by idealizing what came before it masks material conditions at the same time that it offers up the potential of a more radical present/future. While the community center, Tucson and Pima County are coded as oases of safety, this image is continually disrupted by counter narratives, including the state-wide campaign to stop the marriage amendment; local support for the Protect Marriage and anti-immigrant amendments; and evidence of on-going violence directed against racial, ethnic and religious minorities and those who transgress hetero and gender normative expectations. These disruptions however appear to be cyclical in that they allow both professionals and concerned community members (citizen volunteers) to rally together in a show of strength and solidarity and in so doing represent the authentic, legitimate community. However, these disruptions may also allow for counter narratives to enter into public discourse, thereby offering up a more radical envisioning of community beyond the limits of LGBT organizational culture.

The public role of effectively guiding, evaluating and prescribing the physical places, patterns and forms we produce and live in according to commonly held external socio-political ideals has been extremely constrained by our limited knowledge of the significance and consequences of the physical environments we produce and live in, and by incomplete social and planning theories that isolate intentions from actions, processes from ideals, individuals from institutions, and space from society . Central to all of these limits of knowledge and fragments of theory is an inadequately developed theory of human act, acting, and action in space and time. We are unable to identify the significant patterns of human activity , in their forms and consequences, and we are unable to do so in an easily understandable way. Action is confused with acts and acting. For there to be an effective, significant and qualitative public debate we must first extend our knowledge of the significance and consequences of the environments we produce and live in, to include a theory of human action in these environments. Only after this theory has been developed can we effectively debate the forms that we produce according to commonly held socio-political ideals. Justice can exist in environments, and environments do contribute to justice. They can and do if we understand environments as structures of human action in time and space, and if we understand justice as a complex ideal consisting of aspects of equality, liberty, opportunity, participation, and difference.

Full textLos espacios públicos de pequeña escala forman una parte esencial del desarrollo urbano de Barcelona. Al inicio de la era democrática, Oriol Bohigas empezó la reconstrucción de la ciudad creando espacios públicos de pequeña escala pero de gran calidad con el objetivo de “higienizar el centro y monumentalizar la periferia”. Estas intervenciones tuvieron lugar en todos los distritos de Barcelona, intentando así compensar la pérdida de espacios abiertos y la segregación causada durante la dictadura. De esa forma, la ciudad ganó una serie de espacios públicos de pequeña escala que contribuyeron a recuperar el tejido urbano y mejoraron la calidad de vida y la coexistencia. El medio para crear dichos espacios públicos de pequeña escala es el “esponjamiento” del tejido urbano, que implicaba una selección destructiva de zonas específicas deterioradas así como del desarrollo de espacios residuales. El estudio del marco histórico de estas operaciones en Barcelona demuestra que la creación de espacios públicos de pequeña escala a través del “esponjamiento” es atribuido al plan de higiene para la ciudad vieja de GATPAC y a las intervenciones de Adolfo Florensa en la ciduad. Este método tuvo su origen en la preocupación por la higiene urbana del siglo XIX. Las ciudades industriales europeas sufrían de epidemias, sobrepoblación e insalubridad general, Las primeras medidas de higiene urbana se llevaron a cabo a través del “eventrement” de la ciudad, abriendo largos ejes rectos que cruzaban el tejido urbano eliminando todo a su paso. En Barcelona, la primera iniciativa implicó la destrucción de las murallas y la extensión hacia el Llano. Ildefons Cerdà esbozó su plan de expansión centrándose en gran parte en la higiene y la ventilación y equipando los diferentes bloques de jardines interiores de pequeña escala. Con respecto a la ciudad vieja, se tomaron una serie de medidas iniciales mediante el “eventrement” del tejido antiguo propuesto inicialmente por Cerdà y luego reedificado por Àngel Baixeras. De esta forma, se empezó con la apertura de la Via Laietana que resultó en la pérdida de grandes cantidades de edificios históricos y monumentales. Desde ese momento, la creación de espacios públicos de pequeña escala mediante el “esponjamiento” se constituyó como una solución alternativa a las demoliciones y expropiaciones a gran escala. Y gracias a este proceso, Barcelona ganó una red de espacios públicos de pequeña escala que todavía juegan un rol importante a día de hoy.

Full textUnder de senaste decennierna har begreppet ”co-working” spridit sig snabbt över världen, vilket också avspeglas i den akademiska litteraturen. Arbetshubbar, eller co-working places som de i studien kallas, förekommer dock främst i urbana områden. Denna studie fokuserade i stället på potentialen hos arbetshubbar i glesbefolkade inlandskommuner i Västerbotten – en region som sedan länge upplevt ojämn befolkningsutveckling. Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida arbetshubbar dels har potential att bidra till att vända de negativa befolkningsmönstren genom att göra glesbygdskommunerna till ett mer attraktivt alternativ för den växande gruppen distansarbetare, dels har potential att bidra till ökad hållbarhet, exempelvis genom att minska pendlingsberoendet. De frågeställningar som studien utgick från var följande: 1) Kan arbetshubbar ses som ett alternativ till den ordinarie arbetsplatsen bland stora arbetsgivare i Västerbotten, och i så fall, under vilka förutsättningar? 2) Har arbetshubbar potential att bidra till lokal utveckling i glesbygdskommuner i Västerbotten, och i så fall, under vilka förutsättningar? 3) Har arbetshubbar potential att bidra till att de olika hållbarhetsmålen nås? Eftersom det inte var de befintliga strukturerna som utvärderades, utan snarare potentialen hos en alternativ arbetsplatslösning, antog studien en utforskande form för vilken en kvalitativ metod bedömdes som den mest lämpliga. Nio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med företrädare för tre inlandskommuner, fyra större organisationer och två befintliga arbetshubbsprojekt utanför Västerbottens inland. I likhet med tidigare studier pekar intervjuerna på att arbetshubbar på flertalet sätt kan bidra till ökad hållbarhet. I synnerhet finns fördelar ur ett hälsoperspektiv, där arbetshubbar å ena sidan motverkar pendlingens negativa hälsoeffekter och å andra sidan minskar risken för social isolering kopplad till hemarbete, samt fördelar ur ett inkluderingsperspektiv, där arbetshubbar kan främja inkluderande tillväxt genom att göra det lättare att bo och verka i glesbygden. Dessutom har arbete från lokala hubbar troligen klimatfördelar tack vare minskat pendlingsberoende, även om denna aspekt endast berördes flyktigt i intervjuerna. Vidare kan arbetshubbar gynna företag genom att vara en plattform för kunskapsöverföring, men troligen främst om hubbens användare har liknande kompetens. Väl så viktigt ur ett företagsperspektiv är det förmodligen att vara lyhörd på vilka arbetssätt som medarbetarna efterfrågar, eftersom detta har påverkan på företagets roll som attraktiv arbetsgivare. Trots att såväl dessa intervjuer som tidigare studier pekar ut många teoretiska möjligheter med arbetshubbar i glesbygden, blir den sammanvägda bilden från intervjuerna att arbetshubbarnas potential i hög grad beror på det potentiella användarunderlaget lokalt, kommunernas specifika förutsättningar och pågående samtidstrender. Flera kommuner var intresserade av att satsa på en lokal arbetshubb, men menade samtidigt att osäkerheten kring hur stort intresset bland lokalbefolkningen var fick dem att tveka. Att en arbetshubb bör anpassas till de lokala förutsättningarna var de tillfrågade överens om. Enligt tidigare studier kan arbetshubbar förekomma i många olika former, vilket dels bekräftades av kommunernas olika bild av hur en eventuell arbetshubb skulle se ut i deras kommun, dels exemplifierades av företrädarna från de två arbetshubbsprojekten. Arbetshubbarnas potential påverkas också av andra trender och händelser i samhället, exempelvis digitalisering, distansarbete till följd av en pandemi och ruraliseringstrender. Bland länets stora arbetsgivare diskuterades främst frågan om distansarbetets vara eller icke-vara vid en återgång till ”det normala” efter Covid-19-pandemin. Ingen av de tillfrågade organisationerna hade gjort något offentligt ställningstagande angående arbetshubbar: flera menade att frågan om huruvida de anställda distansarbetade hemifrån eller från en arbetshubb hade mindre betydelse, så länge arbetsmiljön var tillfredsställande och de anställda var nöjda. Däremot vittnade organisationerna om att pandemin för dem inneburit en testperiod för distansarbete, som på det stora hela hade fallit väl ut. I studien diskuterades också om arbetshubbar i glesbygden behövs eller om ökningen av distansarbete är tillräcklig för att fler ska överväga att bo kvar i, eller flytta till, glesbygden. För att svara på den frågan krävs vidare undersökningar av hur medborgarna ställer sig till distansarbete, samt om deras inställning påverkas av om distansarbetet bedrivs hemifrån eller från en delad arbetsplats. Vidare konstateras att även om tillgången till arbetshubbar och distansarbete generellt skulle göra glesbygden till ett möjligt boendealternativ för fler, är det inte givet att den negativa befolkningsutvecklingen vänder – detta är till syvende och sist en fråga om ifall människor föredrar att bo i täta eller glesa miljöer. Slutligen visar denna studie att arbetshubbar i glesbygden är ett forskningsområde som blir alltmer relevant och förtjänar uppmärksamhet därefter.
