Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Urbanismo apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Resultado de um crescimento desordenado e com um planeamento urbano pouco eficaz, Agualva-Cacém evidencia-se como uma área suburbana com diversas carências a nível urbanístico, enfrentando problemas decorrentes da multiplicação de barreiras infraestruturais e das diversas falhas de serviços urbanos. Este Projeto Final de Mestrado tem o objetivo de estudar soluções que respondam às descontinuidades e insuficiências territoriais aqui identificadas, potenciando os valores ambientais, urbanos e socioculturais que se reconhecem neste território. Ambicionando consolidar o espaço urbano preservando as suas preexistências e equipando-o com edificado e espaço público adequado às necessidades sociais ativas, apresenta-se uma proposta urbana desenvolvida a duas escalas diferentes. A proposta à escala alargada desenvolve-se entre a urbanização da Quinta da Fidalga e a Avenida dos Bons Amigos e visa a refuncionalização do sistema urbano existente numa lógica de estabelecer uma articulação entre o núcleo histórico e a zona mais emergente da cidade promovendo a relação entre o público e o privado e a construção do lugar contínuo. Na proposta à escala aproximada pretende-se a exploração de tipologias para um conjunto residencial entre o tecido urbano e os espaços intersticiais e a criação de um Centro Multifuncional de caráter cultural, complementado com um novo espaço público onde os espaços de transição assumem o papel principal à conceção do mesmo.
ABSTRACT: As a result of disorderly growth and poor urban planning, Agualva- Cacém stands out as a suburban area with several urban needs, facing problems arising from the multiplication of infrastructures barriers and the various defects of urban services. This Final Project aims to study solutions that respond to the discontinuities and territorial insufficiencies identified here, enhancing the environmental, urban and sociocultural values that are recognized in this territory. Aiming to consolidate the urban space preserving its preexistences and equipping it with built and public space suitable to the active social needs, we present an urban proposal developed at two different scales. The wide-scale proposal develops between the urbanization of Quinta da Fidalga and Avenida dos Bons Amigos aiming at the refunctionalization of the existing urban system in a logic of establishing an articulation between the historical nucleus and the emerging area of the city, promoting the relationship between public and private spaces, maintaining spatial cohesion and continuity. The approximate-scale proposal aims to explore typologies for a residential complex between the urban layout and the interstitial spaces, and intends to create a Multicultural Center, complemented with a new public space where the transitional spaces take the main role in its conception.

Full textAbstract:
Design drawings mediate between the world of ideas and the world of things, spanning the intangible and tangible. However, contemporary technical architectural drawings, in establishing a direct relationship between the drawing and its object, tend to base this relationship on a visual paradigm that authenticates the visible physical world over the conceptual invisible world, including that of the designer\'s imagination. The result is that the drawing may become a reduced utilitarian tool for documentation, devoid of any meaningful value in terms of a kind of knowledge that could potentially link the visible and invisible.The imaginal drawing, assuming mundus imaginalis, is an ontological third world mediating between the invisible and visible worlds. As such, it offers an alternative view of the architectural drawing. Inhabitants of this domain are subtle bodies that hold physical attributes (e.g. form, proportion, color), highly evocative, yet with no matter. Representing a world of similitudes, the imaginal is fundamental to the field of architectural representation, as it introduces a perspective in which the architectural drawing finds an ontological home, wherein the drawing becomes a true in-between territory, mediating between the invisible and visible. In this realm, the drawing becomes a subtle architecture in itself.
Prevalent Islamic geometric architectural drawings, namely girih, which lend themselves to the imaginal, provide clues by which the drawing is recognized as an in-between. The geometric interlocking patterns they feature, the girih mode, represent a creative agent by which the built transcends the physical world and penetrates realm of spirituality. An examination the girih mode in its intellectual, imaginative, and physical contexts re-identifies these geometric drawings as a productive realm of consciousness.
As an aperture to the imaginal, these architectural drawings open the door to a world of its own, wherein the drawing has a true subtle existence. In this view, the drawing starts from the domain of human imagination with the possibility of ascending to the realm of the intellect, while at the same time descending to the realm of the senses to guide the architect toward a built object. Seen this way, the imaginal drawing can offer an in-between state of being and becoming, a subtle matter, lighter than the building and denser than the idea"essentially representing a mode of consciousness involving the conscious imagination.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about openness in the architecture.
After traveling and experiencing many different cities in Europe, I was intrigued with open spaces in cities, which offer a stage for different public interactions. I discovered that all these public spaces are formed by the surrounding architecture. This made me wonder about how architecture, as it becomes more independent today, could express and embody this openness within itself.
I picked up my site at the end of the King Street in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia, which is currently unappealing to the public. I decided to create a urban plaza for the waterfront in an architectural way by generating a pavilion, which will provide various kinds of information and satisfy needs to the visitors and public.
The pavilion has several different services and lies in an area with flood issues. In response to these conditions, I made all the projects suspended between columns and assigned them different heights according to the context of the site and their own functions. The different levels of the projects generate vertical open spaces in order to let the surrounding environment flow seamlessly into the pavilion.
The entire project has been organized under a glass structured roof with a central staircase that ascends from King Street to the Potomac River, which has all the accesses to each level. There is a designed channel in the middle bay, placed within the girder to direct rain back into the river.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
My artwork is about juxtaposition and the presence of conflict. I search for the sublime in the somber realities associated with health, aging, and vulnerability. The dualities involved in human mortality produce a tension that inspires me to create. I also explore the physical relationships between contrasting media, and attempt to resolve their differences. I use narrative devices as well as the formal elements of art to work through visual problems. Mood is suggested through texture, color, form, and quality of line. Symbolism consists of walkers, wheelchairs, hand tools, earrings, children's toys, vacuum cleaners, and human silhouettes. My quilted textiles are a result of mixed media studies and printmaking techniques. Small surface explorations that combine drawing and collage help me develop compositional ideas as well as a visual vocabulary. From this information, I make rubbings, stencils, collagraphs, masks, and silk screens that I print on fabric. I seek to challenge and expand quilt making techniques by using both traditional and unorthodox materials. I layer, tear, stitch, and cut images from cotton, paper, polypropylene, canvas, and silk organza. The order of these processes is often displaced; instead of finishing with stitch I may use it as a starting point. Coupling imagery that is associated with the difficult reality of human transience with the beauty of materiality generates a dualism that I attempt to unite. It is within opposing principles that I challenge myself as an artist.

Tese de Mestrado em ArquitecturaO objectivo da presente dissertação é abordar questões relativas aos espaços de transição: a forma como podem tornar‐se decisivos ao incentivo do contacto e coesão social, contrariando a tendência actual para o isolamento dos cidadãos; enquanto elementos que preservam a privacidade dos espaços que interligam, controlando a passagem de ruídos, luz ou poluição, assim como intrusões físicas ou visuais. São aspectos centrais de análise o espaço público, as relações entre os espaços público e privado, bem como as articulações espaciais dentro dos edifícios. O enfoque é dado às zonas de passagem e circulação, frequentemente encaradas de forma simplista e redutora. Propõe‐se que esses espaços – as ruas, os corredores, os átrios ou as antecâmaras de acesso –, sejam pensados como locais de permanência de forma a facilitar os contactos inter‐pessoais e a incentivar o sentido de comunidade, mas também como válvulas que controlam o acesso e a qualidade ambiental dos espaços privados. Dá‐se especial relevância à hierarquização dos espaços de distribuição ‐ com o fim de formar grupos de convivência a diferentes escalas e proteger o ambiente privado –, bem como à apropriação privada dos espaços semi‐públicos enquanto estímulo à responsabilização pelas zonas comuns e ao sentimento de pertença social. O estudo é feito através da análise de obras teóricas de referência, de exemplos práticos e do projecto realizado no âmbito da tese, que engloba um Centro Multifuncional e uma Residência de Estudantes, em cuja concepção se deu especial atenção aos espaços de transição – as relações entre varandas e pátios, as ruas de convívio interiores, as antecâmaras de entrada e uma praça. De entre as principais conclusões a retirar do trabalho há que destacar a necessidade de o espaço público e os espaços de transição dos edifícios constituírem lugares de convívio e comunicação capazes de incentivar a vivência social.
The present dissertation focuses on transitional spaces: their imperative role as inductors of social contact and cohesion, striving against today’s tendency towards personal isolation; their function as elements that preserve the privacy of the spaces they connect, by controlling the noise, light or pollution intrusion as well as physical or visual incursion. The main aspects of analysis are the public space, the relation between private and public spaces, plus the spatial articulation inside the buildings. The highlight will be given to circulation zones, frequently considered in a simplistic and reductive manner. These spaces – the streets, hallways, atriums or access vestibules – are analyzed as permanence places that ease inter‐personal contact and kindle a community sense, but also as valves that control the access and environmental quality of private spaces. Special importance is given to the hierarchy of distributional spaces (in order to form interactive groups at different scales and protect private spaces) and to the private appropriation of semi‐public areas (as a stimulus to social bonding and to common spaces personal accountability). The theme is studied through the analysis of chief theoretical oeuvres, practical examples and the project conceived in the context of this thesis, which includes a Multifunctional Center and an Undergraduate Residence. It was designed giving special attention to transitional spaces – the relations between balconies and courtyards, the enclosed streets devoted to the blooming of interaction, the entrance vestibules and a square. This text’s main conclusion is that public space and transitional building spaces are fundamental as communication and interaction places that prevent social alienation and stimulate community bonding.

A place for no place is a practice based research project that investigates the notion of in-between space. The focus of this project is to consider the nature of binary oppositions and the thresholds between, through the designing of memorial space. The key issue of this project is aimed at investigation of the nature of thresholds of dualism, contrasting dualities and binary oppositions.With help of this project, I attempt to discuss a design methodology by balancing the binarization in natural environment in terms of applying their principles to creating the space, meanwhile, making the space from outside Visually the practical part of the exegesis will grow from process of spatial analysis and detailing by consulting with the key spatial binary oppositions of the site specific projects – Flat Alleyway and Wen-chuan Earthquake Memorial Park. Spatial arrangement and function, along with their codified details will be domesticated with concerns of the special character of the site and the consideration of scale, function, body movement, interior and exterior decoration aspects of the space. The result will be a cohesive range that represents new spaces by the meaning of In-Between-Ness. Heuristic and practical projects are my main methodological approaches. My work does not seek to fix a solution by the notion of in-between, but open up area of ongoing discovery. The practical spatial design projects are regarded as a process of meditation for a self-development, which allows me to reconsider, renegotiate, reflect and renew my work throughout the practical process. In this way, hidden spatial codes can be brought out to the surface.

Essa tese estudaa negociação cultural que a capoeiragem, enquanto universo dinâmico e inacabado do jogo da capoeira, instaurou através de sua prática no Brasil e Alemanha, a fim de promover uma maior dinamicidade e amplitude sobre o tema. Para isso, fez-se um debate crítico e reflexivo das produções acadêmicas vigentes sobre a capoeira, os movimentos pós-coloniais, as teorias sobre corpo e a influência metodológica e epistemológica do pesquisador, que é pesquisador e praticante de capoeira.Busca-se com issoentender o corpo-sujeito dos capoeiristas, inclusive do próprio pesquisador: um locus privilegiado de análise. A pesquisa etnográfica de dois anos entre as cidades de Freiburg, Munique, Bremen e Berlim teve como base as experiências pessoais e coletivas de alunos, professores e mestres, que permitiu identificar os diferentes momentos da capoeiragem na Alemanha e seus modos de subjetivação entre 1970 e 2013. Almejamos com seus resultados contribuir com novos questionamentos antropológicos sobre o tema da capoeira, entendendo-a como um movimento híbrido e rico em vertentes, estilos e modalidades; além de compreender esse universo de maneira in between, ou seja, entre mundos, e não mais de maneira polarizada.
Abstract : This thesis studies the cultural negotiation which the capoeiragem - as a dynamic and unfinished universe, surrounding the game of capoeira - has established through its practice in Brazil and Germany. The thesis situates it between different historical contexts, as such envisaging to promote a greater dynamism and coverage for a better understanding of the subject. Therefore, a critical and reflective discussion was developed, regarding the prevailing academic productions and studies about the universe of capoeira. Also, is raised the importance to discuss the native anthropologist position of the researcher, being a capoeira teacher, and its methodological and epistemological influences. The approach is based upon the postcolonial theories, combined with theories about body, subject and embodiment. The intention is to understand the bodysubject of the agents, including the researcher himself, as a privileged locus of analysis. Besides, an ethnographic research of two years between the cities of Freiburg, Munich, Bremen and Berlin was done, observing the personal and collective experiences of capoeira students, teachers and masters since 1970 until 2013. In this way, it envisages to contribute to a new anthropological approach about the universe of capoeira, not understood as polarized but as an ?in between? worlds: a relational space that offers a multiplicity of hybrid options in sources, styles and forms to its practitioners.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Tomemos como exemplo um edifício vazio; os donos que ainda não lhe encontraram um novo uso e não querem investir dinheiro nos custos de manutenção; e pessoas que procuram um espaço a custo acessível. Nestas circunstâncias, a opção por usos intermediários deveria ser mais frequentemente considerada e simples, mas na realidade ainda não o é. Por um lado, enfrentamos um período crítico na oferta de habitação e espaços de trabalho acessíveis. Por outro lado, existem inúmeros espaços vazios e inutilizados. Terrenos vagos podem ser recursos importantes para o desenvolvimento de cidades e regiões mas têm de ser analisados e reativados. Re-imaginar e propor novos usos para estes lugares requer não apenas coragem, mas também estratégias e linhas de intervenção concretas. O principal objectivo do trabalho apresentado é o de clarificar as possibilidades e potencial dos usos temporários dos edifícios e espaços, desenvolvendo um manual de procedimentos relativos a como intervir em terrenos ou edifícios vagos, desde o fim da vida útil do seu uso actual e até que um novo uso permanente lhe seja encontrado. Expressa-se a intenção de simplificar e otimizar soluções e processos, com vista a abordar a questão dos espaços e edifícios vazios e inutilizados. Este trabalho de Mestrado consistirá em duas partes principais: a primeira trata-se do estudo teórico, e a segunda do projecto prático. Na primeira parte os aspectos teóricos dos usos temporários e processos participativos serão clarificados com base na literatura científica corrente, análise e estudos de caso prévios e actuais. Na segunda parte, prática, será introduzido o projeto que consiste também em duas partes, um guia de procedimentos para o uso intermediário dos espaços abandonados de Lisboa e a introdução da fábrica Tinturaria Portugália. A minha proposta de intervenção tem como objectivo demonstrar as possibilidades de um projecto intermidiário de âmbito comunitário. A Tinturaria Portugália é apenas um exemplo dos numerosos edifícios abandonados que podem ser encontrados na zona do Vale de Chelas. É importante notar a clara falta de um sentimento coeso de comunidade, e do interesse que terá desenvolver iniciativas que potenciem o crescimento e integrem a comunidade durante o desenvolvimento e vida útil do projecto. A ideia é a criação de um sistema que possa ser inserido em qualquer espaço vago e que possa ser o início do desenvolvimento de um projecto intermediário. A comunidade local deverá ser envolvida tanto quanto possível na reinvenção destes espaços e no estabelecimento de uma ligação mais directa entre os utilizadores e o espaço. No caso da Tinturaria Portugália, o ponto de partida para o desenvolvimento do seu novo uso será a plataforma de informação Come In - We’re Open!. Com a ajuda do processo de desenho participativo que foi iniciado com a plataforma de intervenção Come In - We’re Open!, será desenvolvido um uso temporário adequado. A fábrica Tinturaria Portugália será transformada num centro cultural, social e económico que servirá primeiramente a comunidade local, mas criará também um ecossistema que atrairá um espectro diverso de actores externos ao bairro e facilitará a partilha de conhecimento e de experiências.
ABSTRACT: Let’s take for example an empty building, the owners who don’t have a use for it yet and don’t want to spend money on operating costs and people who are looking for affordable spaces. In circumstances like this the in-between use of such a building should actually be simple to realise but in reality, it isn’t. On one hand we’re facing problems in finding affordable living and working spaces but on the other hand a lot of empty and unused spaces exist. Vacant lands could be important resources for the development of cities and villages but they have to be analysed and reactivated. To re-imagine or repurpose these empty spaces for new use requires not only courage but concrete strategies and frameworks. The main goal of my presented study is to make people more aware of the possibility and potential for the temporary use of buildings and spaces by developing a kind of a procedural manual on how to deal with vacant buildings or places at the end of their currant use and until a new permanent use for them can be found. This intends to simplify and optimise solutions and processes in order to address the issue of vacant and unused buildings and spaces. My masters thesis will consist of two main parts: first the theoretical and secondly the practical part. In the first part the theoretical aspects of temporary use and participatory processes will be clarified on the basis of current literature, analysis and studies of past and currant examples. And in the second practical part I intend to introduce my project which consists of two parts, a procedural guideline for the in-between use of Lisbon’s abandoned spaces and secondly the introduction of Tinturaria Portugalia my proposed intervention aimed at demonstrating the possibilities of a community focused in-between use project. Tinturaria Portugalia is just one example of numerous abandoned buildings that can be found around the Valley of Chelas. It is also important to note the distinct lack of a cohesive community feel and it would be interesting to find a way to develop initiatives that foster growth and integrates the community during the development process and lifetime of the project. The idea is to create a system one can insert in any kind of empty space to serve as a starting point for the development of an in-between use project. The local community should be involved as much as possible to reinvent the vacant spaces and to establish a more direct connection between the users and the spaces. In the case of Tinturaria Portugalia the starting point for the development of it’s new use will be the information platform Come in - We’re open! With the aid of the participative design process that started in the (Come in - We’re open!) information platform a suitable temporary use will be developed. Tinturaria Portugalia will be transformed into a cultural, social and economic centre that serves primarily the local community but also creates an ecosystem that attracts diverse range of actors from outside the neighbourhood and facilitates the sharing of knowledge and experiences.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the shifts in the relationship between the state and civil society in Brazil between 1995 and 2010. Following a period when ‘civil society’ was nearly abandoned as an analytical category, a number of studies from the 1980s onwards have developed links between ideas of democracy and civil society. Seeking to understand the roles played by civil society and their relevance for Brazil’s recent democracy, this work proposes an analytical framework that associates a relational approach with the application of analytical tools from Chantal Mouffe’s agonistic theory of democracy. The thesis’ period of analysis covers the administrations of presidents Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The main hypothesis examined is that during this period there occurred a shift from an ‘apoliticalconsensual’ to a ‘political-conflictual’ pattern of relationship between state and civil society. The work undertaken in this investigation is conveyed through eight sections. Following a brief introduction, Chapter 1 is dedicated to a review of the literature on civil society; it also includes a justification of the use of the relational approach and an introduction to this thesis’ main analytical categories. Chapter 2 traces an overview of the historical trajectory of civil society in Brazil and its key characteristics. Chapter 3 explores the discourses and practical measures relating to civil society which have been adopted by the Cardoso and Lula governments. Chapter 4 discusses the literature on participation in Brazil and its formulations on the modes of interaction between the state and civil society. It also explores tenets of Mouffe’s agonistic theory and proposes an analytical framework through which the case studies will be interpreted. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the two selected case studies: respectively, the National Council for Health and the 1st National Conference of Communications. The concluding chapter outlines the thesis’ main findings. This thesis intends to expand understanding of the realms of civil society action; the forms of relationship between civil society organisations and the state; and, finally, the projects’ potentialities for expanding participation and deepening democracy in Brazil.

Those who eat share a relationship with design. The Museum of Gastronomy, a museum located at the Washington D.C. National Mall, would dedicate a space to a full-sense experience pursuing a relationship between food, culture, and design. The National Mall is a symbolic setting dedicated to U.S. heritage via museums, memorials, and the honoring of legacies accessible to the public. As the U.S. is a melting pot of different nationalities, this museum would fill an open niche devoted to celebrating the cultural heritage of cooking throughout the cycle of food consumption.
As consumers, regardless of notice or intention, we have an intimate relationship with food as means of survival. Cooking, the method for preparing this vital element, is also an expression of culture, style, and use of available resources. In essence, cooking is an everyday design: a crucial aspect of our very survival.
Therefore:
food - cooking - design - survival - food - cooking.
Similarly, it is the architectâ s mission to reach an effective design with available â ingredients,â forces, or kit-of-parts within a project. In the Museum of Gastronomy, the architect would become the unifying source between a relationship literally built between food, people, and design in an interactive experience. This would result in a space dedicated to showcasing and combining the concept of â cooking is designing.â
Incorporating these components into a museum located at the National Mall would personify an experience of the cooking processes as a building block of every-day observation of design.Master of Architecture

Tese de Mestrado em ArquitecturaNeste trabalho estudamos os objectos intermediários nos espaços de transição, uma fronteira que está à escala do corpo e que estabelece a mediação entre o construído e o vivenciado. Procuramos compreender os diferentes dispositivos espaciais envolvidos na construção de um ambiente propício ao estabelecimento humano. Analisamos o papel que os objectos intermediários desempenham na construção de lugares intermédios onde o sujeito estabelece laços sociais, a fim de consolidarmos o conhecimento e estabelecermos a sistematização dos princípios gerais de composição arquitectónica que possibilitam a reinterpretação de qualidades espaciais na prática do projecto. Estudamos, em particular, o conceito de ‘in-between’ de Aldo Van Eyck. Evidenciamos o papel funcional dos objectos intermediários a partir da análise de Casos de Estudo. Demonstramos que a correlação de diversos componentes construtivos que atribuem ao espaço a dimensão do homem o evidenciam enquanto elemento central na arquitectura.
ABSTRACT - This paper is about in-between objects in spaces of transition, a limit that is at the scale of the body and establishes a transition between the built and the experienced. We seek to understand the different spatial devices involved in the construction of na advantageous environment to human settlement. We analyze the role that in-between objects play in the construction of intermediate positions where the subject establishes social bounds in order to improve the knowledge and establish the systematization of the general principles of architectural composition that allow the reinterpretation of spatial qualities in the practice of this project. We focus on the concept 'in between’ by Aldo Van Eyck. We confirm the functional role of in-between objects from the analysis of Case Studies. We show that the correlation of various building components that assign the dimension of the human being to space make him a central element in architecture.

Full textAbstract:
As a contribution to the emerging field of practice-based research in the arts, this thesis aims to activate space, experience and the concept in-between. As the in-between cannot be defined ahead of the rhythmic process it carries out and of which it is a part – a rhythm inherent in the city itself and in knowledge production – it is necessary to produce rhythmic relations between bodies, sites and concepts. An art experiment, a forty-two meter high swing mounted on the bridge, Älvborgsbron, in Gothenburg harbour, Sweden, serves as the point of entry to the thesis. A dancer in the swing moved slowly between the bridge and the ground, captured in a rhythmic experience of being earthbound and then weightless. The swing project, together with other rhythmic processes such as walking, weaving and acting physics, activate spatial, temporal and theoretical dimensions of the in-between. Merging my roles as an artist, teacher and researcher by pragmatic production, perception and concepts it becomes possible to transform the rhythms between the examples: 1. A swing mounted on a bridge; one of my art projects. 2. Walking and mapping strategies; as developed in my courses taught at the School of Architecture. 3. The myth about Penelope weaving. 4. Rhythmic relations between bodies and machines at CERN, the particle physics laboratory outside Geneva, a place that is important for several of my art projects. Creative production aims to expand the capacity of the body. By employing a bridging structure, spaces in-between are activated thus revealing the power and danger in-between. In that production collective processes merge, creating “social and collective machines” and another reality between: 1. bridge/swing/dancer, 2. map/walking/site, 3. war/loom/weaving, 4. theory/detector/bodies. These rhythmic processes oscillate between representation and the complex forces of daily activities. However, it is not the rhythm itself that activates spaces in-between but, rather, the changing of directions of the rhythm: from moving to be in motion; from walking forward to walking and falling; from weaving cloth to producing time; from doing physics to acting physics. Activating in-between spaces means activating differences and another way of producing knowledge, a well-known strategy in contemporary art: a production of potential realities, in a constant interaction between concepts and spatial transformations.QC 20100909

Architecture develops from both the art and science of construction. Therefore, structure influences the pursuit of architectural ideas. Devoid of ornamentation, common objects can be enhanced through improving function and articulating their structure. Quality of construction and material durability have an immediate impact on how a thing is perceived. A thing is built once, but observed, studied, and used for its entire existence. It is important to investigate today's building necessities, such as a door, a path, or a wall, to discover inherent opportunities in order to transcend these everyday things and create extraordinary architectural moments. Separating a thing from its general context draws attention to it or to some aspect of it being enhanced. Otherwise, an ordinary thing such as a door can be quite uneventful. But, a door encased in a vertical plane of wood offset from the remaining enclosure draws attention to the quality, texture, and color of the wood.
In this thesis, the design of a multi-use, commercial and residential building, bridges between corresponding zoning districts. The project is used as a vehicle to explore the complexities and nuances involved in developing extraordinary architectural form using initially common conditions, local zoning laws, and standard construction techniques.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Community-based organizations increasingly face the need to systematically gather and provide data, information, and insights on the quality of their services and performances to governments, donors, and funding agencies. To meet these demands, community-based organizations have identified the need to build their own evaluation capacity. Increasing the evaluation capacity of an organization requires evaluation capacity building at an individual level, which might be affected by other factors like employee work motivation. This quantitative study uncovers the relationship between employee work motivation and individual evaluation capacity using the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale and the Evaluation Capacity Assessment Instrument. I found that employees with higher intrinsic motivation have higher evaluation capacity, whereas, those with higher amotivation have lower evaluation capacity. Apart from that, this study also investigates the relationships motivation - evaluative thinking, and evaluation capacity - evaluative thinking, finding that individual evaluation capacity and evaluative thinking are closely related. This study elucidates the link between employee motivation, evaluation capacity, and evaluative thinking, which will not only benefit the organizations to better their practice of evaluation, but also help the employees to make progress in their career paths.Master of Science in Life Sciences

En undersökning av alternativa boenden i Hovsjö, Södertälje, anpassade efter ett varmare svenskt klimat. En typ av kollektivboenden inom befintligt hyresrättsystem där hyresgästerna gemensamt sköter dagvattensystem och odling för att förbereda sig för ett folktätare och varmare Stockholm. Projektet är en sammanställning av en rad typologier av alternativa boendemiljöer som framkommit under processens gång. Alla typologier följer samma tema där fasaden blivit ett rum, ett klimatskikt för reglering av dagsljus och isolering - en förlängning och omprogrammering av det privata rummet. Projektet är ett resultat utifrån en undersökning av aktuella klimatrapporter utgivna av Stockholms län, i första hand baserade på undersökningar av SMHI. Övriga inspirationskällor och undersökningar har varit svenskt eko-vänligt byggande och traditionell japansk arkitektur i form av relation mellan natur och boende. Huvudsyftet har varit att undersöka en annorlunda stadsstruktur som inte ser klimatförändringarna som enbart problem utan tar tillvara på ett varmare och blötare klimat som i sin tur gynnar sociala aspekter och hållbart byggande.A research of alternative living in Hovsjö, Södertälje, adapting to the circumstances of a warmer, Swedish climate. It is a sort of collective housing within the existing network of apartments, where residents together operate the surface water and urban farming to prepare for a more warm and densely populated capital. The project consist of a number of typologies of alternative housing, where the facade has become a room its self. It regulates daylight and offers isolation but is also an extension of the private room and a connection to the surrounding nature and neighbors. The project is a result of a climate research based on reports published by the Stockholm county. It’s basic data for the surrounding municipalities to adapt and prepare for a warmer climate year 2100. Other sources of inspiration has been Swedish eco-friendly architecture and a study trip to Japan regarding their traditional housing, where nature blends with indoor spaces. The main purpose has been to consider a warmer climate as an opportunity to change rather than an obstacle, and therefor take advantage of its circumstances to strengthen social aspects and sustainable housing.

Full textAbstract:
A collection of reflective essays on the personal relationship with identity, land and travel. All of the essays are united by common themes of liminality, transformation and neutral space, set against the backdrop of Iceland and Hawaii.
Anthropologist Arnold Van Gennep writes how certain geographical "zones," those that are semi-civilized with less precise boundaries are neutral zones. For example, deserts, marshes and virgin forests equally accessible to everyone because they are places in between. Whoever passes through these sacred spaces finds herself physically and magico-religiously in a special situation for a length of time—wavering between two worlds. Travel neutralizes the traveler, forces her into a space of imbalance and liminality (i.e. the threshold), where as an outsider she is as equally weak as she is powerful.
I am interested in exploring this liminal space as it relates to my own personal relationship with identity and belonging. Throughout my life the topic of symbolic and spatial liminality appears again and again: through my identity as a "third-culture kid" raised in Saudi Arabia; through my own biraciality; through travel in general or even the physical act of the journey. I imagine this self as part of the Earth (a secular relationship represented by Hawaii) and part of the Sky (a metaphysical relationship represented by Iceland).

Full textAbstract:
For some time now, social scientists, literary critics and others who have examined socio-political developments characterised by intercultural interaction (e.g. colonialism or globalisation), have emphasised the creative, transformative and hybrid character of the space 'in-between' (e.g. Bhabha 1994; Young 1995). Even though 'hybridity discourses' have principally explored spheres of intercultural interaction in order to dismantle traditional binary oppositions used in colonial studies, or to describe the subtleties of our contemporary globalised environment, they have also raised awareness of the need to integrate such insights into accounts that explore and theorise a range of social phenomena (e.g. Nederveen Pieterse 2009). Whilst this integration has taken place in the wider context of the social sciences, scant attention has been given within the reflective arena of post-processualism to devising theoretical approaches which allow for analyses either of the space 'in-between' or the 'multivoicedness' (Bakhtin 1981) of material culture (for an exception see Fahlander 2007). This thesis seeks to define the theoretical as well as methodological strategies needed to incorporate the notion of 'hybridity' into the post-processual discourse. Although the effects of hybridity can take various forms (e.g. linguistics, culture, politics, religion) (Ashcroft et al. 1998), our possibilities for exploring this concept in archaeology amount to identifying the effects of hybridity on the realm of material culture. This research focuses on developing a theoretical and methodological approach that allows intercultural interaction to be examined through the identification of material patterning. To do so, the notion of 'diffusion' is reconsidered as an analytical concept in archaeology. This thesis then draws upon this approach to explore developments within the Orcadian Neolithic during the later fourth millennium BC. As a period of structural change in the islands, it has been the breeding ground for the development of various differing approaches to interpretation (e.g. Renfrew 1979b, Hodder 1982a; Sharples 1985). On this occasion, I will argue that this period represented a classic example of the formation of hybrid identities. Whilst a self-unified image of society was sought in these islands during this period, it is suggested that the cultural expressions used to depict identity reflected intercultural interaction with the Boyne Valley (Ireland).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis identifies the defining signifiers for the Kemalist discourse as the West and Islam. Kemalism mainly related to the West through the hegemonic discourse of Orientalism, and the Kemalist attitude towards Islam was characterised by its peculiar brand of secularism. Orientalism portrayed the East as irrational in all aspects of the economic, political and social realms. In contrast the West was rational, enlightened, scientific, determined to keep its destiny at its hands, hardworking, honest, and efficient. There was an essential difference between the two realms, which prevented the East to progress. The numerous aspects of the West-East dichotomy are investigated in detail by utilising a number of Western sources including newspaper stories, travel accounts, and diplomatic correspondence and a plethora of Kemalist texts. The documentary analysis in the thesis is based on original research. The Orientalist view even prescribed a recipe for Turkey’s progress, and Kemalism is defined in the thesis as a discourse whıch argues that Turkey must adopt Western civilization in its totality, including music, dress, alphabet, etc, and completely erase its past as symbolized by Islam. The Kemalist reform agenda amounted to a utopia, to transform Turkey in such a radical manner that Turkey would appear indistinguishable from the West, in its script, dress, music, political organisation, etc. However, this meant a total re-activation o f t he ‘ the s ocial’ i n T urkey a nd everything becoming part of ‘the political.’ But then, Kemalism never acknowledged the antagonistic and conflictual nature of the political. The relationship between ‘Kemalism and Orientalism’ and that between ‘Kemalism and secularism’ have been studied by various authors, however the originality of this work lies in its emphasis on the relationship between ‘the social’ and the political,’ and its careful analysis on the total re-activation of the social through the Kemalist reforms. In its ambitious project, Kemalism regarded Islam, which represented the Ottoman Turkish tradition, as the ‘main problem’ with the potential to nurture formidable opposition. Hence, Kemalist secularism was first and foremost an attack against Islam. Secularism, supported by a strong belief on the power of science and rationality to organise human life, and a strong aversion towards the religious and the traditional, was the central pillar of Kemalism. The thesis shows how Kemalism was caught between Islam and the West, and argues that secularism is the most important aspect of Kemalism, because Kemalism is an ‘Orientalism from within.’

Thesis, University of Westminster, 2010. https://westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk/item/905vw/articulations-of-memory-in-northern-cyprus-between-turkishness-europeanness-and-cypriotness.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores how memory and national identity have been articulated in the context of competing discourses after the presentation of the Annan Plan in Northern Cyprus. Focussing on key mechanisms of memory such as history textbooks, commemorations (national days, museums, monuments), traditions (flags, national anthem and myths) and the media (especially newspapers) the thesis explores the mobilization, articulation and construction of memory/ies in relation to national identity. It is argued that the Annan Plan constitutes a turning point in Cypriot politics as it proposes a possible participation of Northern Cyprus in the European Union after a solution of the Cyprus problem. Furthermore, the Cyprus problem is understood as the outcome of the clash between two antagonistic nationalisms which has caused the division of the island since 1974. Thus, the Annan Plan is the most serious step on the way to the reunification of the island since then and, as such, it has functioned as a catalyst and precipitated an intense competition between alternative, often opposing, discourses on Turkish Cypriot national identity. The primary goal of this study is to open up the field of knowledge about the reconciliation of physically and/ or mentally divided communities through a critical analysis of the ‘mechanisms of memory’, of how they construct and articulate the ‘past’, in the present, for the future. The theoretical framework of the research draws upon approaches from a variety of fields such as social psychology, sociology, history, politics and media studies, while the empirical investigation consists of in depth interviews. The analysis of the respondents’ narratives is informed by textual analysis and in particular ‘Critical Discourse Analysis’ (i.e Wodak, Fairclough). Furthermore, the discourse theories of Foucault, Laclau and Mouffe are adopted in the examination of memories and their articulation, construction and transformation.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers an investigation of the discursive function of national identity in the project of European integration. Its focus is the discursive dynamics created in the context of European Union Enlargement to the former communist states, and its geographical locus is the Balkan region. Exploring the transformations of national identity narratives in two Balkan states – Bulgaria and Macedonia – the analysis aims to uncover the discursive mechanisms of accommodating national identity in the process of empowering Europeanization. In the theoretical and meta-theoretical frame of poststructuralist discourse theory and within the structure of a small-number comparative case study, the investigation selects six narrative groups. They are centred around key elements in the narration of national identity: nationhood, territory, purpose, statehood, language, minorities. Traditionally interpreted within the hegemony of nationalism, these elements are identifiable in the national identity constructs of both of the studied states. Using qualitative methodology based on discourse analysis, the empirical study traces variations in these narratives in the course of the democratic transition and the preparation for EU membership at the macro level – the state. The purpose of the investigation is to reveal the logic of reading national identity within the empowering discourse of Europeanization. The findings demonstrate that the discursive space of the European project upholds a positive, emancipatory, optimistic vision of national subjectivity. Marginalizing antagonistic interpretations of national identity narrated in the discourse of nationalism, Europeanization reveals the potential to significantly increase the credibility of national identity as a source of collective self-iden tification at the level of the state. This can stabilize the discursive space of European integration and ensure the political relevance of the European project. Where nationalist readings of identity succeed in challenging the hegemony of Europeanization, national identity appears more antagonistic and less compatible with the progress of integration in Europe. In this sense reading national identity emerges as the touchstone of the integration project.

Dissertação para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitetura, apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitetura.Este trabalho tem como objectivo estudar as relações e os limites que o objecto arquitectónico estabelece entre lugares exteriores e interiores, públicos e privados. Procura-se para isso compreender de que modo o edifício gera espaço público pela sua presença e com que dispositivos convida a comunidade a entrar no seu interior. Define-se o conceito de limite e como este dispositivo inerente ao edificado gera relações entre espaços de carácter diferente, e também como este limite se expande para dar lugar a um espaço intermédio. Para sustentar esta investigação teórica, procede-se ao estudo de um conjunto de casos de estudo paradigmáticos nas diferentes formas como separam, unem ou colocam em confronto as dicotomias exterior/interior e público/privado. Demonstra-se a importância de realizar transições entre lugares dicotómicos através de variados mecanismos, de modo a que a relação do edifício com o utilizador seja tornada complexa e significativa pela sua estabilização no tempo e no espaço. Estas conclusões são expressas num trabalho prático projectual, onde se expressam várias ideias exploradas no corpo de texto.
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to study the connections and boundaries that the building establishes between exterior and interior places, as well as between public and private domains. One of its goals is to understand in which ways the building generates public space by its presence, and through which architectural devices it invites its users to its interior. The concept of boundary is defined, and it is established how this device confronts different places, and also how the boundary expands its dimensions to become an intermediary place. To support these arguments, some architectural case studies are picked and laid out by their different ways of separating, uniting or relating the exterior/interior and public/private contrasting places. The importance of providing transitions between contrasting places through various mechanisms is proven. As such, it is concluded as of utmost importance to consider the relationship between the building and the user as complex and meaningful, which is obtained by the building's ability to stabilize through time and in its space. These conclusions are expressed in an architectural project, where various concepts explored throughout the paper are expressed.

Contemporary urban development seems to, globally and simultaneously, aim for the same results; densification, connections and an active urban life. In Stockholm this is emphasized through the comprehensive plan, The Walkable City. This thesis aims to research the com- plexities of open space, in-between areas and cultural practices on borders of territories. I have visited two neighborhoods, one in Stureby, Stockholm and one in Madison, Wisconsin as part of an art-based research where places for cultural practices have been observed and performed by me as a way to investigate in-between areas and what role they take in everyday lives. I have met with inhabitants for observations and interviews as well as performing an everyday life of my own when staying in Madison for two weeks. I have used a few different pictures of neighborliness to see what exists between the frame of the pictures and the situation, and related this to Miwon Kwon’s notion about places situated next to each other. I have also looked into the concept of territory, the ambiguous space between them and the communication that occurs on interfaces. In Stockholm's comprehensive plan and the research of Alexander Ståhle, I see an aiming for densification through connections, e.g. in walkability. I emphasize on a difference between connections and communication. With this thesis I suggest to change the topic of a planning discussion going on in Stockholm as well as globally, from how to create walkability to how to make use of interfaces of ambiguous open space when densifying cities.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this creative exercise is to explore the unity of opposites through the plurality of the in-between-ness in architecture. The exploration holds the promise of revealing a larger and more complex reality that speaks to contemporary times and the making of contemporary architecture. To investigate this proposition a program has been created to bring multiple readings of singular objects including "dynamic pluralism between life and death".1As a consequence, this creative project will allow me to speculate on how physical space can be deliberately experienced simultaneously. As a result, the building will service my proposition in light of liminal-driven architecture and how this proposal will contribute, to some extent, to enrich our world, our society through architecture by making the practice more challenging and motivating.The term threshold evokes images of entering and leaving, passages, crossings and change. It marks the point at which choices and decisions must be made in order to move on, and it would be unusual to think of it as a place to stay, a place of permanent existence. There are, however, situations in the lives of people in which transitions from an old situation to a new one, one social position to another, are hampered or cannot be completed successfully. In this case, Architecture has the potential to make people engage with the space, having the ability to speak to a person and stir their emotions. In the case of absence, the atmosphere of the space plays an important role in suggesting this attitude of meditation. Adjectives such as somber, solemn, reverent, joyful, etc. come to mind. In creating a space described by these terms, light and darkness might become the key. Natural, artificial, and hidden source lighting all can be utilized in various ways in defining the atmosphere of the space as somber, joyful, etc. Another key component in giving a space a certain feel is materiality. Concrete, wood, sheetrock, glass, etc. all change the mood of a space dramatically. The approach and progression to and through the building can also serve and important role in establishing the atmosphere as well as preparing the individual for reflection and/or celebration. The space in which one approaches, enters, and reflects in can make a significant difference in their spiritual experience. This begins to relate to the ideas of "transition, thresholds, boundaries" relevant to interstitial spaces, spaces of the in-between.1 Kisho Kurokawa & Associates Department of Architecture

Wilson, Megan. "Differences in Depression, Anxiety, and Life Satisfaction between Intercollegiate Athletes, Intramural Participants, and Non-Athletes." TopSCHOLAR®, 2016. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1739.
Full textAbstract:
It is widely supported that participation in athletics is positively correlated with increased overall health. However, some research indicates that participation in increased levels of competition is positively correlated with higher levels of depression and anxiety. This means, that if compared, athletes competing nationally or internationally would report higher levels of both depression and anxiety than athletes competing at the intercollegiate level. Research indicates that this could be caused by increased amounts of pressure, personal cost, and expectation.
This study examines potential differences between intercollegiate, intramural, and non-athletes in these areas on a college campus. The first hypothesis is that depression symptoms will be more present in intercollegiate athletes than in intramural participants. The second hypothesis states that anxiety symptoms will be more prevalent in intercollegiate athletes than in intramural participants. The third hypothesis states that life satisfaction will be greater in intramural participants than in intercollegiate athletes. Lastly, the fourth hypothesis states that perceived social support and athletic identity will mediate the relationship between level of athletic participation and psychopathology.
Participants in this study gave informed consent, completed a demographics questionnaire, and scales measuring depression and anxiety, life satisfaction, athletic identity, and perceived social support. The participants were recruited from intercollegiate teams, intramural teams, and psychology courses at Western Kentucky University.
The first and second hypotheses were not supported since intramural participants did not have significantly different levels of depression compared to intercollegiate athletes and non-athletes. Results revealed intramural participants are more satisfied with life than intercollegiate and non-athletes, which supports the third hypothesis. The results also revealed that life satisfaction is mediated by both athletic identity and perceived social support, which shows partial support for the fourth hypothesis. The fourth hypothesis was not supported for depression and anxiety because these factors did not have significant differences between the groups so finding a mediating factor was not possible.

My project for a civic hall in Gnesta has the overriding idea to face the square, where the streets Storgatan and Torggatan cross. I think this appeals to the strength of the site as it is a public building, but also, because the lake Frösjön is placed like a backdrop from that perspective. The design concept is to frame the site with two imposing buildings and to create an interesting room at the space in between, the place for an atrium. At the space in between, certain parts of the civic hall will be exposed as public from the viewpoint inside the atrium, bathed in sunlight. The public environment will be experienced as being outside, yet one is inside. The glass is meant to allow for experiencing the weather outside by its transparency. The façade in brick of the two building volumes become the loadbearing walls for the inside of the atrium – adding to the feeling of being outside.Förslaget för medborgarhus i Gnesta har som övergripande idé att vända sig mot torget, där Stor- och Torggatan korsas. Det verkar lämpligt eftersom det är en offentlig byggnad och dessutom är utsikten mot vattnet en tillgång på platsen. Tanken är att rama in platsen med två byggnadskroppar och skapa ett intressant mellanrum, platsen för ett atrium. I mellanrummet exponeras vissa delar av medborgarhuset som transparant och ljusinsläppet är påtagligt. Den offentliga miljön ska kännas som om man är utomhus fastän man är i ett inomhus klimat. Glaset är ett material som tillåter en att uppleva vädret till exempel genom droppljud på rutan. De två volymernas ytterväggar i tegel blir innerväggar för atriet. Detta ska förstärka känslan att man är utomhus.

Take of your shoes and walk along a beach through the oceanâ s last thin sheet of water gliding landwards and seawards. You feel reconciled in a way you wouldnâ t feel if there were a forced dialogue between you and either one or the other of these great phenomena. For here, in - between land and ocean - in this in-between realm, something happens to you that is quite different from the sailorâ s nostalgia. No landward yearning from the sea, no seaward yearning from the land. No yearning for the alternative -no escape from one into the other.
Awareness of this in - between (in - between awareness) is essential. The ability to detect associative meanings simultaneously does not yet belong to our mental equipment. Since, however, the meaning of every real articulated in - between place is essentially a multiple one, we shall have to see to it that it does.
Awareness of the in - between creeps into the technology of construction.

For that reason, this document has developed a theoretical, conceptual framework and the study of referential projects of typology and emphasis. Similarly, the current situation of volleyball in the country and its users (selected athletes) have been analyzed in order to determine its specific characteristics and needs, that will be reflected in the architectural program.

Thesis (MA(VA))--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This work explores alternative ways of doing research within the field of art and design; ways that respect complexity and acknowledge the expansive, relational and performative nature of signifi- cation in arriving at ‘new’ knowledge. Through processes of designing in-between, I have been moving through opposites, connecting connections, and de(re)constructing structure. I have used my immediate locations as triggers to forge relations between an array of seeming disparate, albeit kindred, concepts. The scope of the work seems to have perpetually broadened, while theory and practice have dissolved in mercurial in- between states. Such exuding expansiveness has, at times, unsettled and unnerved, but ironically it has also intensely resembled our everyday ‘realities’. Designing in-between - compared to traditional, science-based research methods operating in barricaded systems of thought - thus allows for more faithful interrogation of the complexity of the world we live in. I believe this can be of great value in any attempt at innovative knowledge production, but especially attempts from within the field of art and design - a field often defined by its ability to challenge conventional ways of knowing. My work should not be regarded as yet another predetermined guideline for future research. It should rather be read as an example of a “conceptual tool” or “thought strateg[y]” (Hurst, 2010:242) suited to the complexity of the open systems we form part of every day. Neither the challenging, nor the advantageous, aspects of my work should be regarded as superior and exclusive to the other. The existence of dissonance and contrast is productive; a life force propelling the search for new significance and knowledge.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk ondersoek alternatiewe maniere van navorsing doen binne die veld van kuns en ontwerp; maniere wat die kompleksiteit en ewig-groeiende, verhoudingsgebaseerde en performa- tiewe aard van betekenis-konstruksie in die soeke na ‘nuwe’ kennis erken en respekteer. Deur prosesse van tussen-in ontwerp, het ek my weg probeer baan deur teenoorgesteldes, het ek konneksies gekonnekteer, en strukture gede(re)konstrueer. Ek het my onmiddellike omgewingskonteks as stimuli gebruik om verhoudings tussen ‘n verskeidenheid van kontrasterende, dog verwante, konsepte te bewerkstellig. Die omvang van hierdie navorsing het sodoende gedurig verbreed, terwyl teorie en praktyk in verstrengelde tussen-in toestande ontbind het. Alhoewel hierdie uitgestrekte, deurdringende kompleksiteit my dikwels ontsenu en laat weifel het, versinnebeeld dit ironies genoeg ons alledaagse ‘realiteite’ redelik getrou. Tussen-in ontwerp - in vergelyking met meer tradisionele, wetenskap-geba- seerde navorsingsmetodes wat binne begrensde gedagtesisteme funksioneer - laat ‘n mens dus die ruimte toe om die onvoorspelbare wisselwerking tussen die magdom veranderlikes aktief in die wêreld waarin ons leef, in ag te neem. Ek glo dat so ‘n benadering tot navorsing van besondere waarde kan wees in enige poging tot die innoverende bou van kennis, veral in pogings vanuit die veld van kuns en ontwerp - ‘n veld wat geken word aan sy/haar vermoë om gedurig konvensionele maniere van verstaan uit te daag. Ek wil nie hê dat my werk as net nog ‘n voorafbepaalde riglyn vir toekomstige navorsing gesien word nie. Dit moet eerder gelees word as ‘n voorbeeld van ‘n konseptuele instrument (“conceptual tool”) of gedagtestrategie (“thought strategy”) (Hurst, 2010:242) wat geskik is vir die kompleksiteit van die inherent oop sisteme wat ons alledaagse lewens definieer. Nie die uitdagende, nog die voordelige, aspekte van my werk moet as superieur en eksklusief tot die ander geag word nie. Dit is juis die bestaan van teenstrydighede en kontras wat produktiwiteit bewerkstellig. Dit voorsien ‘n lewenskrag wat die soeke na nuwe betekenis en kennis voortdryf.

Full textAbstract:
Cargo transfer between two vessels at sea requires the ramp connection between the vessels to be as stable as possible. The complex nature of the system makes employing control methods difficult. This thesis explores two ideas for improving performance of the interconnected system. First idea examines the possibility of actuating the smaller of the vessels with fins, so as to reduce the relative movement between the two points where the ramp is connected to the ships. The second idea using the larger ship to shield the smaller one from incoming waves. It is assumed that the total disturbance is minimized at a certain angle to the waves, and an Extremum-Seeking based controller is used to find this angle. To allow ship models to change dynamically as cargo offloads, the technique of extremum seeking is extended in this thesis to allow a certain type of model uncertainties.

My practice involves leveraging analog and digital techniques from many disciplines, but especially graphic design, craft/material studies, and sculpture. I embrace reproduction and repetition as both tools and means to visualize what is often unseen, and to recognize not only what is made, but what supports making— from the straightforward and immediate to the complex and conceptual.

The site is located across the P. St. Bridge,
before one enters DuPont Circle. This is an ideal
site for investigating the space of the inbetween.
The site is situated between the small scale
fabric of Georgetown and the moumental scale of
D.C. This site is also situated between nature
(Rock Creek Park) and the urban realm. This place
must function as a significant portal into and out
of the city. This concept of space precedes
program, through an intense investigation of the
site. Creating relationships and responding to
the site, a sense of place is developed by becoming
a player in its local context. Through this
process, two architectonic elements arise; the
wall and the tower. The wall functions like a
vessel holding in the city, as well as, a fortress
protecting the city. The tower acts as a beacon
of light or node appearing above the canopy. The
program is then introduced and informed by these
spatial concepts. An intense intertwining and
rediscovery of space, structure, and program occurs
through this process.Master of Architecture

A nivel nacional, Lima es el único departamento que cuenta con la mayor cantidad de oncólogos clínicos, es por ello, que niños que requieren tratamiento médico deben movilizarse a este departamento; y la gran mayoría no cuenta con solvencia económica para optar por un lugar donde alojarse. El albergue para niños con cáncer y familiares de provincia, nace como respuesta a esta necesidad; por lo que este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo, brindar un lugar de alojamiento para niños con cáncer que reciben tratamiento en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño – San Borja.
Los criterios de diseño están definidos por las necesidades que requieren los niños, y más aún con diagnóstico de cáncer, desde la estructura tipológica hasta la identificación de los espacios que ayudan en el estado de ánimo y su pronta recuperación, al igual que el énfasis de espacios intermedios que permite la relación de lo exterior e interior, aportando a una mejor solución arquitectónica.
Es así que este albergue para niños con cáncer y familiares de provincia, busca brindar un aporte social y arquitectónico a los niños diagnosticados con cáncer, quienes no cuentan con un lugar que les brinde el apoyo que necesitan, y más aún si no cuentan con los medios económicos y vienen de diversas partes del Perú.[At the national level, Lima is the only department that has the largest number of clinical oncologists, which is why children who seek medical treatment should move to this department; and the vast majority do not have the financial solvency to uproot their lives to find treatment. A shelter for children with cancer and provincial family members, could be the solution to this need; therefore, this research aims to present how to provide a place of accommodation for children with cancer receiving treatment at the National Institute of Child Health - San Borja. The criteria for design are determined by the needs that children require, and even more so with a diagnosis of cancer. From the typological structure to the identification of safe spaces that help prompt recovery, as well as the emphasis on intermediate spaces that allow the facilitate architectural solutions from within and outside the proposed project. Therefore, such a shelter for children with cancer and relatives seeks to provide a social and architectural solution to children diagnosed with cancer, who do not have a place that provides the support they need, especially if they do not have the economic means to relocate near medical providers.

Full textAbstract:
SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Undernäring är ett återkommande och stort problem inom sjukvården, i genomsnitt är var tredje patient undernärd. På ett sjukhus i mellansverige finns rutiner att mellanmål ska serveras, men varje avdelning får ansvara att det serveras. I november 2015 genomfördes en intervention för att öka serveringen av mellanmål på avdelning 1. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att genom en punktprevalensmätning, Dagen nutrition, mäta i vilken grad patienter på ortopedisk avdelning 1 och 2 på ett sjukhus i mellansverige uppnår beräknat energibehov. Samt se om interventionen om servering av mellanmål har bidragit till att fler mellanmål har serverats på avdelning 1. Studien kommer även se över hur väl avdelningarna följer rutinen för att riskbedöma patienter för undernäring vid inskrivningen och uppföljningen till vårdplaner. Metod: En punktprevalensmätning utfördes på avdelning 1 och avdelning 2 under ett dygn. Under mätdygnet uppmättes även antalet serverade mellanmål och riskbedömningar på avdelningarna. Resultat: Resultatet visade att endast fyra patienter uppnådde ett energiintag på mer än 75 % på avdelningarna avdelning 1 och avdelning 2, skillnader i energiintaget mellan avdelningar förekom efter mellanmålsinterventionen. Interventionen kan ha bidragit till att fler antal mellanmål har serverats på sikt. Endast 8 % av patienterna var riskbedömda vid inskrivningen. Slutsats: Studiens huvudresultat visar att majoriteten av patienterna inte uppnår ett energiintag mer än 75 %. Anledningarna till att en låg andel patienter kommer upp i ett energiintag mer än 75 % beror förmodligen på många olika faktorer. Interventionen från november 2015, kan ha bidragit till att flera mellanmål har serverats sedan förmätningen samt att personalen fått inspiration och vägledning i arbetet med nutritionen för patienterna. För att ytterligare kunna fastställa vad som kan göras för att öka patienternas energiintag behöver forskning som redan finns implementeras i den kliniska vården.ABSTRACT Background: Malnutrition is a frequent and serious problem in health care, on average, every third patient malnourished. At a hospital in central Sweden routines are that in-between-meal should be served, but each ward will be responsible to have it served. To increase the serving of in between meals at ward 1 a intervention was conducted in November 2015. Objective: The purpose of the study was that through a point prevalence survey, Day Nutrition, measure the degree to which patients on the orthopedic wards 1 and 2 at achieves calculated energy intake at a hospital in central Sweden. And see if the intervention of the serving of in-between-meal has helped more in-between-meal have been served on ward 1. The study will also look at how well departments are following the routine for risk assessment of patients for malnutrition at enrollment and follow-up to the care plans. Method: A point prevalence survey was conducted on wards 1 and 2 for one day. During the survey the number of served in-between-meal and risk assessments were measured. Results: The results showed that only four patients achieved an energy intake of more than 75 % of the wards 1 and 2, differences in energy intake between wards occurred after in-between-meal intervention. The intervention may have contributed to a number of more served in-between-meal. Only 8 % of patients were risk assessed at enrollment. Conclusion: The study's main results show that the majority of patients do not achieve an energy intake more than 75 %. The reasons for a low percentage of patients going into an energy intake greater than 75 % is probably due to many different factors. Intervention in November 2015 may have contributed to an increase of in-between-meal have been served since the preliminary measurement, and that staff received inspiration and guidance in the work of nutrition for there patients. To further determine what can be done to increase the patients' energy intake needs the research that already exists be implemented in clinical care.

Dissertação para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitectura, apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitectura.A transposição do limite é um tema pertinente à Arquitetura por ser inerente à nossa interpretação do espaço. O objetivo deste trabalho residirá em compreender e explorar diversos significados que o conceito de limiar poderá adquirir na arquitetura, para tal, a exploração de diferentes tipos e escalas de limites é compulsória. Projetar o limiar é refletir sobre a experiência da transição, estimulando e desafiando tanto o corpo como a mente dos usuários. Assente nesta aceção, este trabalho pretende expor não apenas bases ideológicas para uma sistematização do emprego do limiar no projeto de arquitetura, como também princípios que possibilitem a materialização dos conceitos explorados. Destacam-se como referências os autores Simon Unwin, Peter Zumthor e Aldo van Eyck. A intervenção projetual propõe o desenho de uma Escola de Artes Culinárias situada na cerca do Convento/Hospital de Santa Marta. O desenho da escola desenrolou-se apoiado na exploração de características formais e respetivo programa de ocupação. Nesta dinâmica, a Escola de Artes Culinárias foi projetada segundo premissas e critérios expostos ao longo da dissertação, através da implementação de dispositivos de transição, da exploração de materiais e de relações entre a envolvente próxima e o edificado. A transposição do limite consiste numa aproximação física e sensorial à arquitetura. Este trabalho objetiva constatar que ocorrem mudanças emocionais durante o trespasse de um limiar por desencadearem memórias nos usuários sendo esta uma forma de preservar a identidade do espaço.
ABSTRACT: The transposition of the limit is a relevant matter in architecture as it is intrinsic to our interpretation of the space. The aim of this work lies in understanding and exploring the several meanings of threshold in architecture. Therefore, the exploration of different types and scales of limits is mandatory. To design the limit means to consider about the experience of transition, stimulating and challenging both body and mind. Settled on this purpose, this work aims to expose not only ideological foundation to systematize the use of the threshold in the architectural project, but also to choose assumptions that seek the efficiency of the concept. We highlight the authors Simon Unwin, Peter Zumthor and Aldo van Eyck. The approach to the design project proposes the design of a Culinary Arts School in the wall of the Convent/Hospital of Santa Marta. The design was developed and supported by the exploration of formal characteristics and the relevance of the occupancy program. With this dynamic the School of Culinary Arts was designed according to the assumptions and criteria exposed along the dissertation and throughout the development of devices, exploration of materials and relationships between the nearby surroundings and the building.
