Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1992.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-109).
This thesis presents a propositIOn about a prevalent urban condition, that of marginal, left over, or disused space. It contends that these spaces, generally viewed as negative attributes by their communities have inherent value, and that appropriate and limited interventions will allow for new appreciation and greater use of these underutilized urban resources. The site explored in the thesis is an area along the Cambridge and Somerville border between Union Square and the McGrath highway. It supports a variety of light industrial uses that first located there because of proximity to the railroad line. The current actiVities that surround this open area of disused rail sidings are scrap yards, auto parts stores, and warehouses. The open character of the site and the location between residential areas of Cambridge and Somerville give it value. Because of its openness and nearness to dense residential areas it has value as a place from which to view the life of the city, to understand the history of the industrial worker in Somerville, and the growth of the city. It is a gathering place for young people, who are drawn to these sites partly because of their "unstructured" nature. The program chosen to activate this site is one which brings together a shop or production facility for bicycle frames with complementary uses, including an instruction area for bike repair, meeting rooms for bicycle groups, and a retail store. Additionally, there is an outdoor component to the program that consists of ramps and other architectural features where bicycle riding can take place unimpeded by automobile traffic. In giving this program architectural form, the layering, the additive quality of the surrounding buildings, and the "randomness" of the total environment are accommodated, and its vitality reinforced. The contention of the thesis is that this new set of uses is sensitive to the site, its natural characteristics, its architectural character and its community's needs. Understanding the landscape and the essential quality of a place is a crucial step in determining appropriate design solutions.

Abstract:
The peculiarities of Roman architecture, town planning, and landscape architecture are visible in many of the empire's remaining cities. However, evaluation of the landscapes; and analysis of the urban fabric, spatial compositions, and the concepts and characteristics of its open spaces are missing for Jerash (Gerasa in antiquity) in Jordan. Those missing elements will be discussed in this work, as an example of an urban arrangement that survived through different civilizations in history. To address the characteristics of the exterior spaces in Jerash, a study of the major concepts of planning in Classical Antiquity will be conducted, followed by a comparative analysis of the quality of space and architectural composition in Jerash. Through intensive investigation of data available for the area under study, the historical method used in this paper illustrates the uniqueness of the site's urban morphology and architectural disposition. An analysis will be performed to compare the design composition of the landscape, urban fabric, and open space of Jerash as a provincial Roman city with its existing excavated remains. Such an analysis will provide new information about the role these factors and their relationships played in determining the design layout of the city. Information, such as the relationship between void and solid, space shaping, the ground and ceiling, the composition of city elements, the ancient landscapes, and the relationship between the land and architecture, will be acquired. A computer simulation for a portion of the city will be developed to enable researchers, students and citizens interested in Jordan's past to visualize more clearly what the city looked like in its prime. Such a simulation could result in the revival of the old city of Jerash and help promote its tourism.

Abstract:
Trees in the urban fabric are often overlooked, and their significance in the effect of their presence that they hold is most often lost. Trees are seen as something of an afterthought, something purely aesthetic, or even something that poses a problem to the city instead of a solution to certain problems. Through my study project, the "Urban Arboretum", the objective is to explore all the different potential possibilities and opportunities that trees could have in the urban realm, not only pertaining to aesthetics, but also in terms of spatial and architectural qualities, as well as cultural connotations, and especially the productive and ecological potential that they hold. Through the study and understanding of these objectives they are applied to a chosen site through the concept of the dissertation which is "the Architecture of the Forest" This concept functions through the design and active maintenance of the scientific principles of succession of species.

This thesis proposes an urban sanctuary at Chapel Rocks, a peninsula extending into Boston Harbor. The sanctuary includes an ecumenical chapel. restaurant/meeting hall and designed features of the landscape. Several general issues guided this exploration: Architecture and Landscape: How can the design of architecture and the design of landscape be conceived of as equal contributors to the experience of a place? How can the designed landscape build a relationship between human activity and the natural landscape? The nature of a reclaimed landscape: After industrial culture transforms the natural features of a site by cutting, fIlling, drilling, stripping .... how can a new landscape be conceived which acknowledges these changes and the original features of the site? How can a further transformation take place which fuses human aspiration and the specific nature of the place? The nature of an urban sanctuary: How can a site at the edge of a modem industrial city foster an understanding about the ultimate role that nature plays to sustain our physical and spiritual well-being? Can this understanding provide a meeting ground for people of different faiths to share in an experience of the contemplative and sublime?

Includes bibliographical references (p. 135-137).
This thesis explores the relationship between building and green space in a dense urban environment in order to create a humane contemplative experience of individual and collective memory. The urban environment has the potential to inform a new attitude for open space which incorporates the building as a landscape element and weaves natural and architectural elements together physically and metaphorically. The building and the open space are inversions of each other while referencing the district around them, the cultural landscape. As a result, the form of the built urban context has the potential to define the urban edge along which everyday activity occurs while providing a place of refuge and protection for those who seek an occasional mental and physical retreat. The design, a small-scale public garden for Boston's Chinatown, references the urban Chinese landscape garden in order to reinforce the identity of this historic ethnic neighborhood within the downtown landscape of Boston. Two buildings - housing a tea house, restaurant, and information center- explore the zones of edge conditions between the outdoor and indoor spaces. Within the stratified realm of inhabitation, edge transitions between garden and architecture can establish new reference planes. By exploiting (and, perhaps, exploding) the edge between open space and building, the design process will treat the building as a landscape in itself as well as a landscape element in relationship to the garden.

"What is necessary, is an incomplete design; a design that has clarity without rigidity; one that could be called 'open' as against 'shut'. This is the essence of theatrical thinking: a true theater designer will think of their designs as being all the time in motion, in action ... " -- Peter Brook, The Empty Space. (1980). "What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are ... " -- Richard Serra, Torqued Ellipses. (1997). This project is an urban landscape: a proposal to strengthen the stance of the famous Theater am Schiffbauerdamm towards the city of Berlin and provide a connection to the Spree River. Historic forces (such as the wholesale destruction of the fabric of Berlin during the bombing raids at the close ofWWII), as well as a current reading of the city, shape and inform the design; while the theater itself provides great inspiration and guidance. The proposal transforms the core of the block containing Bertolt Brecht's Berliner Ensemble into a network (rhizome) of stages, aiming to provide focus at large for the theater community of Berlin as well as a public garden to be used by local residents when no performances are occurring. Conceptually, Brecht's subversive attitude towards political power structures as well as his concept of Verfremdungs (alienation) provide a bridge into the (phenomenological) design; Oscar Schlemmer focuses on the relationship between actor and audience and the importance of the stage as a place of ritual for our culture. Richard Serra informs the design in terms of mass, ~n, and intensity. Adolphe Appia provides a form language for performance which can easily flow into the garden ...

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find how to activate a public open space as a transportation hub in an urban environment with limited open spaces, and to propose alternative designs for an urban plaza. The public transportation system was used to analyze the city’s condition and to find potential areas for a transportation hub to be developed in an urban space. Using the analyses and findings of the existing public transportation, City Hall Plaza was chosen as the proposed site for its potential and the opportunities it offered. Space uses and their relationship to their surroundings were carefully analyzed in order to design an urban plaza that would provide recreational opportunities and a good quality of life for the city’s residents. Underground spaces were examined for use in the proposed plaza. The findings demonstrate the potential for a transportation station area to be activated as an urban public space. The proposal for designing an urban plaza improves its space and function and provides new experiences by introducing the use of underground spaces. The proposed plaza may become a prototype for urban plazas within the city area.

Abstract:

Humankind’s relationship with water began before our inception. Our very existence and evolution depended on it, as all life on our blue planet does. However, over time and perhaps more notably since the dawn of the industrial revolution, this relationship has shifted—changed. Riverfronts became dominated by railroads and industry severing access to the water in our urban environments. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the neighborhood of Manchester experienced further separation when the neighborhood was divided in two by a raised, walled highway and the industrial riverfront was renamed Chateau. Both neighborhoods have suffered from blight and vacancy subsequently. Using historic and GIS maps, sustainable design standards as well as scientific evidence of the effects of water on our health, well-being, creativity and happiness; this thesis seeks to examine why this connection to the Ohio River is vital to both residents and the city of Pittsburgh. And finally how we can redesign the industrial waterfront to reconnect both Chateau and Manchester with the river and serve as a model for sustainable redevelopment of these important cultural places.

I grew up in Philadelphia. The waterfront and its urban character motivated my original focus combined with architectural interests in dealing with public spaces. The search began for a site which was a locus of intensity and contained elements of time, sense of place, the character of the city and a particular relationship with the waterfront. Venice Island, located in the Schuylkill River at Manayunk, a Northwest neighborhood, was chosen due to its intimate scale, localized community and richness of natural and manmade environment. The equal strength of the context pushed the thesis to explore the transformation of the site using the influence of these existing forces. The site contains physical boundaries that include river, island, canal, and Main Street. These suggest threshold and propose a journey or passage to connect the Main Street to the river. Thus the importance of memory and identity to the formation of place combined with that of a journey incorporates existing remains on the island and interventions that intensify the experience. By introducing aspects of the city to the island and further connections to the river, I propose it is a place for people to learn about the environment as an integration of existing forces through the physical forms and sense of place generated by the transformation. The thesis is organized into three parts, which follows the development of the exploration, the first being the urban waterfront and examining ideas relating to public space, inhabiting the edge and the important of the River. The second part outlines the early ideas and study of the site and the city and issues of built and natural environment and design approach. The final section documents the design and transformation of the site related to landscape experience, journey and the urban rivers edge.

At the proceedings of the Second Vatican Council from 1963 to 1965, landmark decisions called for the inculturation of the Roman Catholic faith - an attempt to have the faith made more accessible within the context of culture and society. This has led to changes in monastic life for the individual monk and his cloistered community. This thesis explores the repercussions of Vatican lion the time-honored typology of a medieval Cistercian monastery. A hypothetical community of twenty-four Cistercian monks attempting to locate on a strip of land on the edge of the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, is the vehicle used to implement some of the architectural possibilities to reflect the evolution of Cistercian Monasticism to date.

Abstract:
The turn of the Century in this country brought with it the introduction and ensuing growth of water-born trade markets, facilitating the establishment of a series of metropolitan hubs scattered along the coastline. The subsequent hundred years has seen a major increase in population within these areas accompanied by an economic shift away from maritime trade. Older ports have been abandoned, leaving behind antiquated urban infrastructure. The subsequent dismantling of these vast waterfront industrial areas has provided an opportunity for the reconfiguration of these spaces and the implementation of new urban and landscape strategies. Through a recycling of the existing fabric and introduction of new uses, many cities have revitalized their industrial wastelands and integrated these areas within the existing urban fabric. Other coastal cities have merely overlooked these neglected districts and focused development in their periphery, transforming these former economic focal point into physical and typological barriers.

Abstract:
Within an. urban context, if multiple level thinking associated with landscape architectural design principles are applied to roof spaces, these can be activated for specific purposes. The space on top of roofs has the potential to be converted into areas for production, recreation , socializing and even for healing. Today, in the urban context it is difficult to find spare spaces that can be actively used by people; most public squares focus on improving the micro-economy, leaving almost no space for recreation. Also, within the urban context many buildings are designed in an "unfriendly manner" creating dark and damp spaces on ground level where people are not willing to stay. These kinds of dark, damp and "un-friendly" environments are not beneficial to people. Because people are looking for recreational spaces in an urban environment, the recreational, multi-purpose use of roof spaces is becoming necessary. There are many examples within the urban context of people trying to use roof space for the growing of vegetables, or creating gardens for biodiversity purposes. Currently many green roofs only focus on increasing the ecological value of the space, a seemingly simple function , causing many people to lose interest in the concept. Landscape architects should not only work on ground level but on multiple levels within the urban environment. James Corner who designed the "High Line Project" worked on an abandoned bridge, activating the dead space and thus allowing the space to be used for human activity and at the same time improving the urban ecology. Urban hospitals require a comfortable environment for their patients, who can benefit from the right kind of healing environment. Roof spaces have the potential to be used for this purpose. When designing a roof space, landscape architects should not only focus on the ecological and cultural aspects, but also focus on space making for a specific group of people (patients). Creative ways of re thinking the healing landscape environment and bringing healing landscape principles and ideas while applying them to a completely artificial environment is the challenge.

Abstract:
Hong Kong’s compacted urban form brings about potential problems including mental illness. Meanwhile stressful life mainly originates from working pressure brought a lot of physical and mental problems for the people themselves and generating serious family and social problems. As more and more people start to aware mental health issue, the current mental health services system is no longer sustainable due to increasing number of patients. This thesis aims to excavate the potential for landscape to become element in healthcare delivery in the context of community as following: refine the definition of therapeutic landscape, define the scope of work, and identify components essential for therapeutic environment. Last but not least, dig out possible interpretation/physical form through set an example of a particular design introduce for a typical site. Therapeutic landscape which introduce to community recreation system will become a new approach to backup mental health service system as well provide people more convenient and broad healthcare service to cultivate healthy personality. Thus promote community organic development to become a thoughtful and institutional environment.

The aim of this MFA Research Documentation is to present the ideas behind the photographs produced during the MFA Degree. In Chapter 2 I will briefly analyse photographers who have influenced or provided structure for my practice. In Chapter 3 I will detail my earliest work and follow with an analysis of the recent projects completed within the research time frame for this MFA Degree. These recent projects have been summarised under the following headings: Transition, which explores the different stages in the architectural construction and deconstruction process in particular sites that would generally be considered unpresentable - sites that are in either a state of decay or dereliction or a state of re-building; Frontier, which looks at new housing developments in outer Sydney suburbs and examines the influence of social imperatives and relevance at a time when aspects of environmental concern are at the forefront of social commentary; and Monolith, examines the remnant modernist vision of high-rise residential architecture, in Sydney and London. Land Mark Architecture ??? in an age of non-discovery is the urban landscape of landmarks and marks on the land. They should be viewed in the context of documentary photography. I have ignored the buildings that are deemed landmarks, and by following a less obvious path, have explored local, unclassified, and aesthetically uncertain areas of the built environment.

Landscape architects are challenged with finding appropriate solutions to adequately address the dynamic nature of urban environments. In the 1970's C.S. Holling began to develop resilience theory, which is intended to provide a holistic understanding of the way socio-ecological systems change and interact across scales. Resilience theory addresses the challenges and complexities of contemporary urban environments and can serve as a theoretical basis for engaging urban design practice. To test the validity of resilience theory as a theoretical basis for urban design, this thesis is an exploration of the addition of resilience theory to current landscape architecture literature and theory through a three-part methodology: a literature review that spans a breadth of research, case study analyses, and an application of resilience theory through a design framework in two projective design experiments. The resilience framework bridges between complex theory and design goals/strategies in a holistic approach. Through the identification of key connections in the reviewed literature that situate the relevance of resilience theory to landscape architecture and the subsequent case study analysis, specific methods for applying resilience theory to urban design practice are defined within the proposed framework. These methods fit within five main categories: identify and respond to thresholds, promote diversity, develop redundancies, create multi-scale networks and connectivity, and implement adaptive planning/management/design practices. The framework is validated by the success of the projective design application in the winning 2013 ULI/Hines Urban Design Competition entry, The Armory. Resilience theory and the proposed design framework have the potential to continue to advance the prominence of landscape architecture as the primary leader in urban design practice.

Abstract:
Prior to the Iraqi invasion and occupation, there was limited landscaping in Kuwait. Public gardens, highways, streets, governmental and private buildings had been planted to some extent. In the post invasion days the Amir of Kuwait has set a goal to beautify Kuwait by intensified landscaping. Responsibility for this Plan was given to the Public Authority for Agriculture and Fisheries (PAAF) which in turn, commissioned the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) to develop the Plan, in collaboration with PAAF staff. Currently, a Strategic and Master Plan for "Greenery" Development (1995-2010) is being prepared. The plan will consist of guidelines for the gradual landscaping of Kuwait focusing on the urban areas. The objectives of this thesis is to ensure the development of guidelines into a comprehensive body of knowledge which takes these categories into consideration: sociocultural factors, functional factors, environmental/ecological factors and aesthetic factors. It is hoped that this information could be synthesized into a thoughtful, utilitarian landscape design guideline for Kuwait.

Abstract:
This thesis compares the landscape planning goals and procedures of Pima County and Landkreis Hannover as they enter regional planworks. The literature provides three significant approaches to landscape planning, from which are extracted significant valuation criteria including biophysical and sociocultural landscape characteristics as well as data handling and implementation considerations. Landkreis Hannover employs a landscape and a comprehensive planwork, the latter coordinating the missions of all spatial disciplines and the first representing a conservation component. Pima County develops a comprehensive plan based on pro-growth policy which attempts primary issue integration. Both counties demonstrate strengths and weaknesses uncovered by assessment of the valuation criteria. Learning from each other, Hannover can improve in data handling whereas Pima County can improve in organizational cooperation and promotion of the concept of sustainable development.

Abstract:
Storstaden är idag människans kanske mest naturliga miljö. Det är där de flesta av oss bor, lever och konsumerar en stor mängd mat.  I det här projektet har jag använt mig av mat som ett redskap i min designprocess och skapat en fiskodling mitt på Skeppsbron. Jag har undersökt hur en fiskmarknad i Gamla stan skulle kunna utnyttja de befintliga resurserna på platsen och ritat en miljö där människan lever i symbios med naturen. En flexibel arkitektur som är formad utefter landskapets unika struktur och som förändras parallellt med det växlande vattenrummet.  Stockholms karaktäristiska vatten kopplar ihop staden med Östersjön i öst och långt i landet i väst. För att utnyttja platsens fulla potential har marknaden ett antal flyttbara element som kan transporteras med båt mellan olika kajplatser. Dessa element består av olika typer av fiskodlingspooler som renas med hjälp av akvaponi (odling) och byggnadens biogasanläggning. Detta genererar i sin tur energi som värmer upp poolerna och förser byggnaden med elektricitet.  Tillsammans utgör dessa element ett unikt landskap där människan kommer i kontakt med vattnet, djurlivet och naturligtvis maten.
Investigating the the Urban Fishfarm Today, the city might be our most natural environment. This is where most of us live and consume a large amount of food. In this project, I have used food as a designtool and created a fish farm in the middle of Stockholm City. I have examined how a fish market in the old town could use the existing resources on site and designed an environment where people could live in symbiosis with nature. A flexible architecture that could grow och change in time. Stockholm water connects the city with the Baltic Sea in the east, and far into the country in the west. In order to utilize the site's full potential, the market has a number of movable elements that can be transported by sea between different quays. These elements consist of a number of fish farming pools which are purified by akvaponi (farming).

Abstract:
Kampung is a pervasive concept in Malay Culture and considered counter urban in contemporary discourse. Rural to urban migration of the Malays from kampung to cities occur at an accelerated pace in urbanizing Malaysia. Rural migrants are said to remain attached to their rural kampung lifestyles and find the socio-spatial character of urban environment difficult to adapt to. Previous studies on rural kampung by anthropologists and social scientists have unpacked the socio-economic and cultural aspects of kampung Malays in rural area. My study of migrants in Alor Star and Kuala Lumpur is focused on the landscape meanings of kampung and explores how these ideas have been brought across to a city environment. I investigated the meanings and symbolic values that kampung holds to the rural-urban migrants through a ‘landscape lens’. I recorded the experiences of the rural-urban migrants in adapting to an urban landscape, identified kampung elements to which people have strong attachment with and highlighted the kampung characteristics that could be maintained or replicated in order to address the maladaptation of the migrants and enhance their urban living experience. Study participants were rural-urban migrant respondents from rural kampung in Yan, Kedah who have either moved to Kuala Lumpur or Alor Star. The case studies in the two cities were carried out using qualitative methods including photo elicitation, in-depth interviews, model mapping techniques and participant observation. Respondents provided narratives of their journey from kampung, moving to the city, and their process of adapting and settling in cities. Challenges in adaptation to city living spaces included spatial use, privacy, social relationships, safety and surveillance. My findings demonstrated that the memory of kampung plays a significant part in guiding the life of respondents in the city, and that the image of kampung is pervasive in the daily social and spatial practice of rural-urban migrants, guiding respondents’ level of adaptation and place-making in the city landscape. The use of landscape as lens was helpful in interpreting the complex and multivalent kampung meanings. Addressing a dynamic kampung idea through a landscape framework highlights the strong parallels between kampung and the early landscape concepts. The process of unweaving the meanings of kampung have illustrated that kampung ideas have the potential to inspire a landscape design language that could mitigate the harsh contrast between rural and urban Malaysia.

Nature and Gnosticism are problematic terms. With the discovery of a library of so called heretical Gnostic texts in 1945, theologians, historians, and believers the world over have been exposed to Christian texts that call into question the liturgical lineage of the "one holy catholic and apostolic Church" and question the very biblical canon which informs almost all sects of Christianity. The texts in question span religious and cultural boundaries and give us a glimpse of a tradition, more mystical than political, that was lost to mainstream Western history and absorbed into the religions of the East. Understanding the term Nature require a form of extreme self-consciousness, what Peter Fritzell calls "a tolerance for ambiguity that is very difficult to sustain. It is, in essence, a dedication to paradox, and even an occasional delight in uncertainty, that can be extremely unsettling." This thesis proposes is a temple for gnosis in upper Manhattan that creates a space of meditation, reflection, and communion with the knowledge of God employing the theoretical ideas found in the "Gospel of Thomas". The site, located in Inwood Hill Park on the extreme northern end of the island of Manhattan. The park contains true virgin forestland, a salt marsh, Native American cave shelters, and a clandestine and pastoral aspect unknown in the City of New York. An opportunity exists in the lack of ecclesiastical and traditional continuity in the individual relationship to god in the Gnostic gospels, and the ambiguity inherent in the displaced historiography of the texts in question is used as the foundation from which to reform the idea of "church."

Abstract:
Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia currently serves a dual purpose, providing both a transient space that links the city to its suburban roots and creating a physical barrier between the city and its watercourse. Ultimately, the existing station denies Melbourne the fulfillment of its need for centrality. Historically, the Yarra River was a source of life and sacred feature of the Australian Aboriginal landscape. A renewed interest in the riverfront as the new focus for Melbourne, an emerging global city, has turned the area into an urban destination following years of neglect. Flinders Station stands at the new centre of Melbourne on the North Banks of the Yarra River. The geographical isolation and entrenched suburban nature of Melbourne has led to the celebration of train travel as a cultural phenomenon. Twice daily Flinders Station filters Melbourne's commuters en route between the city and suburbia. The integration of a new public space as a commuter thoroughfare into the existing rail station introduces a transitory space between the disconnected urban/suburban landscapes of the commuter experience. The train station is seen as a fascinating place of cultural significance where the world of fast movement is intermittently juxtaposed with that of dwelling and leisure. This thesis redesigns Flinders Street Station, filtering travelers through a new public landscape to activate the connection between city, river, and suburbia while heightening the sense of urban arrival and departure.

Interactive technology is rapidly affecting our society, extending opportunities for convenience, communication, function, and pleasure. Defined as electronic or computation-based entities that reciprocate human use or action, interactive technology allows people the opportunity to personalize how something looks, how it feels, what it does, and how it is perceived. Many physical objects, such as a home thermostat system or a motion-activated sculpture, are embedded with computation that allows them to detect certain environmental influences, and respond with a purposeful action. As suggested by Malcolm McCullough, interactive technologies will be implemented into the urban environment, grounding them to a specific place and reflecting the character and context. Interactive technology will be combined with traditional urban design practices to generate an interactive urban environment. The Civic Room in Downtown St. Louis is prime for renewal. Underutilized and monotonous, the park space is seen as a tear in the urban fabric and lacks diverse program opportunities. The Civic Room will be used as a testing ground for an interactive urban environment, utilizing three dimensions of interactive technology, including information exchange, creative expression, and kinetics, as well as the specific elements of an effective urban open space (Whyte, 1980). Then, the existing site and resulting interactive urban environment will be evaluated on its potential to improve certain dimensions of performance (Lynch, 1981), and its impact on the identity and use of the space. Engaging an interactive urban environment in the St. Louis Civic Room will promote an understanding of the effects that interactive technology can begin to have in a larger context. It will activate the space, promote social collaboration, and establish a dynamic atmosphere that reflects more closely the desired intent of all users. In turn, it can propel the opportunity to approach interactive urban environments as an alternative method of urban space design.
