PLACE is a concept that addresses fundamental aspects of human existence; the external bonds of man with the world. It rests upon shared ways of life and knowledge which enable its physical expression into coherent and live environments. In our time, when the common languages and the processes that support them have broken down, it has become increasingly difficult for architects to set the ground for new PLACES. The lost order of organic evolution has been replaced by a new order based on control. Through the present study I intend to draw from my understanding of the physical environment and its transformations over time, in order to formulate a conceptual basis that can help me form a complete picture of the complex issue of PLACE. The use of a specific place - the immigrants' neighborhood in Kessariani, Athens, - which will shortly undergo a process of demolition and rebuilding, will serve as a background for testing the previous concepts through the experience of its space and through an attempt to design the physical conditions for its reemergence as a new place -an alternative to the design of control, reintroducing change. The study is also an exploration of the link between conceptual and formal expression, as processes that reinforce, perfect and are tested against each other.

This thesis is an exploration of the design of successful urban places, those that are filled with people enjoying the vitality present in a density of life.
The inspiration for this thesis came from a statement made by Jason Bergen. While walking through downtown Blacksburg, unsuccessful in our quest to find a place sit down and eat lunch, Jay said, "You know Jon, there are no good places to sit in Blacksburg." Without realizing it, Jay had made a simple observation that can be used to assess the quality of an urban environment.Master of Architecture

Jaafar, Norizan. "Place marketing and the antecedents of sustainable competitive places". Thesis, University of Stirling, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/3637.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The effect of globalization is recognized as the impetus which is forcing places to compete globally. Place marketing approach is an alternative for places to attract their target markets. Review on past literature indicates sustainable competitive concept is a possible solution to handling problem of place competition. The gap in knowledge indicated by rare studies on sustainable competitiveness implies the need to identify factors that describe sustainable competitive places. The sustainable competitive concept is explained through the assessment of the roles and the relationships among factors of place sustainability, place competitiveness, place attachment, place satisfaction, and place loyalty. Conceptual model of sustainable competitive factors demonstrates the relationships of these factors. Quantitative technique based on samples of two medium-sized Malaysian cities provides usable data on residents’ perception of the sustainable competitive factors. Variance based Structural Equation Modeling reveals the conceptual model’s explanatory power and predictive capability to explain sustainable competitiveness of places. The findings mark the importance of place attachment in explaining sustainable competitive places. Economic and social factors are the main components of place sustainability, and quality of life is the main component of place competitiveness. The findings reveal place loyalty as the main factor that influences sustainable competitive place. Inconsistencies in the conclusions of previous studies suggest that they fail to notice the aspect of attachment as an important predictor in investigating place - human relationships. Implications of the thesis findings are given to policymakers.

Sartor, Annette. "‘Children in place’: A phenomenography of children’s understandings of place, identity in place and looking after place". Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/18804.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Place as an entity is not fixed, but is constructed through subjective understandings. While past research on children and place has tended to focus on children’s special places, this study extends the research on children’s conceptualisations of place arising from everyday experiences. In particular, it explores children’s understandings of place as a phenomenon and insider understandings of place as a local area encompassing everyday life. This research, framed within the broad scope of place theory, explores children’s experiences to provide new insights into child-place relationships that encourage environmentally sustainable practices. The use of phenomenography as a research tool provides a snapshot of children’s conceptualisations of place and of themselves within it. Using an interpretive approach, variation in children’s understandings of the phenomena of place, children’s identity in relation to place and looking after place are explored. The participants are children aged 7 to 12 years living in a geographically and culturally distinct region, and data were collected using open-ended interview questions. Six categories of description were revealed: place is a space and a locality; place has a range of opportunities; place attachment, place identity and belonging; connections, caring and responsibility for place; the developing self in place. This research revealed a pattern of children’s place understandings spanning spatial awareness, the functionality of place, and connections to people and nature. Children develop care and responsibility for place that encompasses both community and environmental components. However, these understandings are affected by self-perceptions of identity in which being a ‘school child’ and ‘not important’ reveals an acute awareness of children’s position in society. Children expressed a conflict between wanting to protect place entities for which they have a close affinity for and value, and the limitations imposed on them as children which act as barriers to self-determination. Emerging ideas on children’s participation should continue to focus on enabling children’s voices and developing children’s capacities as active agents and future environmental citizens.

Harrison, Samuel Carey. "Place-based praxis : exploring place-based education and the philosophy of place". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/7566.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis interweaves two strands of inquiry, one educational, the other philosophical. The educational inquiry is seeded by the need to understand both embodiment and learning within experiences of place in education. The second strand is prompted by Evernden’s insight that the environmental crisis is a ‘crisis of being’ (1985). Evernden argues that our perceived separation from the world is at the root of the environmental issues we face. Highlighting the role that ‘place’ might have in both these inquiries, I examine the educational and philosophical debates around place, drawing especially on place-based education (Gruenewald & Smith, 2008), and phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty, 1968). Arguments from within these literatures indicate that experiences of, and in, place hold the potential to reexamine what it means to be part of the world, here, now. Three key research questions emerge from my examination of the literature: 1 – what role do experiences of place have in education? 2 – what is the ontology of place? and 3 – how does place affect thinking and learning? This third question is the meeting point of the philosophical and educational threads of the inquiry, and also reflects back on the process of the inquiry itself. Given the focus of these questions on the lived experience of place, phenomenology is chosen as a suitable methodology. However, I argue that the full potential of phenomenological research can only be met through a more participative and experiential approach. Drawing on literature on participative research, grouped under the term ‘action research,’ (Reason & Bradbury, 2001), a series of collaborative phenomenological research workshops were run in 2009 and 2010 with two groups of practicing educators. Descriptions of experiences of place and place-based education, from within the workshops and the participants’ workplaces, were distilled into themes by the groups. These themes served two purposes: the first was to explore the possibilities of place-based education in various working contexts, an inquiry which was completed during the workshops. The second was to seed a phenomenological investigation into the ontology of place, exploring questions from the philosophical debate on place. This second part of the inquiry was completed by myself. Both groups felt place-based education revealed aspects of place taken for granted or un-explored. This was summed up by one participant in the phrase ‘bringing place to life.’ The participants’ understandings of the different aspects of placebased education including the pedagogy involved, and the possible outcomes, show how place-based education was understood and applied in different contexts. The phenomenological analysis which builds on the participants’ understandings, describes a contrast between un-examined place and the intimate and immersive experience that can occur when place is ‘brought to life.’ The final part of the thesis explores in further depth the role of the mind in ‘bringing place to life,’ putting forward the idea of mind as a phenomenon which can adopt different scales. When learning and thinking on the same scale as the body, the mind is brought to place, and the dualism between mind and body breaks down. ‘Thinking in place’ is put forward as a way of understanding both the experience of learning in context, and the phenomenological immersion of both body and mind in place. The conclusions explore the implications of this research for the various fields touched on in the study: educational approaches such as environmental education, philosophical approaches to place, and research methodologies.

This is an exploration of how an understanding of place, sense of place and belongingness is affected by place promotion. Case study research captures the unique experience of a town in Cornwall, part of a WHS and SSSI, geographically close to the tourist resort of St Ives,yet devalorised and with no appetite for regeneration or restoration. The approach to planning for place promotion demonstrates a balancing act between planned development and protection of the existing place image, identified as protective belonging.

Purpose The aim of this study is to explore if there is a gap between brand identity and brand image in the city of Baku. Background Having a strong city brand based on the positive perceptions from both internal and external stakeholders’ point of view is very important in today’s world of globalization when cities have to constantly compete for the share of tourists, investors etc. Therefore, in terms of the thesis we aspire to investigate if Baku has been successful to build a strong brand identity and whether the brand image mirrors it from the Swedish people’s perception. Method The study constructed upon a mixed research method, which based simultaneously on inductive and deductive approach. Interviews representing the qualitative reasoning approach are utilized in order to reach the data related the city brand image and city brand identity. Conclusion The city has a firm and rationally established brand identity. The current research revealed the gap between brand image and brand identity in Baku. Thus, that the city’s brand image is not fully reflecting the real brand identity, in particular due to the internal facts.

Political SciencePh.D.
In this dissertation I explore the intersection of place and identity arguing that places figure prominently in our process(es) of becoming. To that end, my central thrust is that places matter, politically. My point of departure is that places aren’t vapid, disinterested sites, but are instead ones rich with meanings, values, assumptions and intersecting histories and our engagement in them is formative to a conception of self (and a conception of others because the self is only made intelligibly by being in relationship with others). I aim, then, to theorize the processes by and through which one’s identity (both social and individual) is shaped in and against place. Toward that end, I draw on a few different literatures: feminist and Black theories of embodiment, political theories of space and place and political theories of identity. Reading place through these literatures is critical to understanding its dynamism as one that is productive, produced, lived and embodied. Places, in other words, affect who we are becoming because of how its character settles into us as we move through them, literally affecting the way we comport through the world and at times in modes to which we are impervious. This, however, is the answer to the question: why a political theory of place? If we move to understand place and how it functions, we may better know how it is sometimes constructed to celebrate and affirm some at the cost of oppressing others. More, places are political in that they are implicated in shaping our identities. If some places are constructed to oppress others, one’s identity may be shaped in such a way to see the world as closed-off and projects of liberation and freedom may seem unrealistic and not worth pursuing. Places, therefore, shape what appear to us as options. This is absolutely political.

Henry, Keith. "Knowing one’s place: publicness of public places in Northern Ireland". Thesis, Ulster University, 2015. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.685424.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Public places, viewed as a core component of cities for centuries, have become a field of research subject to broad concern for more than two decades. Typically under the influence of globalisation and privatisation, attractive and alluring public places have been placed at the centre of both major world and old-industrial cities, competing in search of new niches in competitive urban markets The research undertaken in this thesis represents an inquiry into the nature of public places in Northern Ireland. Its scope is threefold. First, it proposes a means of conceptualising the publicness of public place as a social, historical and cultural product, with publicness defined as the sum of characteristics that make a public place perceived as being public. Second, to create a methodology that acknowledges that there is no homogenous public with a singular standardised experience of public place, and conduct an empirical study that understands the individuality and temporal dynamics that are at work within public places. Third, it tests this methodology on several public place case studies across Northern Ireland to better understand the unique myriad of issues which influence the perceived publicness of public places in Northern Ireland, such as the social turbulent period colloquially referred to as the Troubles. The thesis, informed by the research methodology of new institutionalism, is founded on the understanding that publicness is more complex than perhaps initially understood. Publicness may be understood as a cultural reality and a historical artefact. All public places have been created at a certain time within a specific sociocultural setting, with Madanipour (2003) asserting that public places reflect the society in which they are located. In addition to the cultural reality, public places are shaped by the incidents and events that occur within them with peoples' perceptions of the place being influenced by their own personal experiences or insights of the place. Subsequently, the public place is a historical artefact in a constant state of 'becoming'. This understanding of public places was adopted to study the socially turbulent context of Northern Ireland. The socially embedded sectarianism and segregation that inhibits social interaction between communities, manifested most profoundly within the residential segregation that is prevalent in many urban areas, has had a severe impact upon perceived publicness of public places. The delicately balanced post-conflict society provides an interesting juxtaposition of simmering conflict and waking peace with public places seemingly taking the stage as the fulcrum of the delicate balance that exists within perceived publicness. The social contestation over land and space has had a profound impact on perceptions of ownership but also control and identity of public places to create urban areas in which people 'know one's place'.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La visita al dentista ha sido tradicionalmente reconocida con un evento desagradable y doloroso, esta idea perdura hoy en día a pesar de la creciente preocupación de los profesionales por crear ambientes cómodos y de confianza junto con el empleo de técnicas alternativas. La ansiedad por acudir a la consulta dental cuenta con una prevalencia en la población general que ronda el 50% . La alta incidencia reportada por diferentes estudios ha llamado la atención de psicólogos y odontólogos por las consecuencias directas en la salud oral y en el bienestar de los pacientes. Por esto creamos un nuevo concepto de tratamiento odontológico en el cual se adicionan terapias alternativas para disminuir la ansiedad y el stress antes, durante y después del tratamiento odontológico. DENTAL PLACE se basa en mejorar la estética dental ofreciendo lo mejor en tratamientos odontológicos interrelacionando con la reflexología y acupuntura, técnicas de medicina alternativa que ayudarán a relajar a los pacientes. DENTAL PLACE, es una clínica enfocada en cambiar la ansiedad y el stress que genera la consulta, empleando métodos y técnicas diferentes. Nos basamos en estudios de medicina complementaria, en el optimismo y el buen humor para cambiar el concepto de la ansiedad . Daremos tratamiento al 20% de los pacientes que presentan niveles altos de estrés y temor a la consulta odontológica. La clínica estará ubicada en el distrito de San Borja y brindará sus servicios a toda persona que lo requiera. En el primer año esperamos atender a 1.5% de nuestro mercado objetivo que equivalen a 1,560 atenciones aproximadamente. Para el quinto año esperamos atender al 5.2% el cual equivale a 6,500 atenciones. Nuestro mercado objetivo son personas pertenecientes a los Niveles Socioeconómicos (NSE) A y B, ya que son los que tienen mayor poder adquisitivo y son más afines a nuestros plan de marketing. Nuestro segmento de mercado requiere un plan de marketing agresivo. Por eso dentro de nuestro plan está la promoción por medios de comunicación como la radio y televisión y medios escritos. Nuestra propuesta de valor para el cliente es incorporar terapias alternativas como son acupuntura y reflexología, orientados disminuir y eliminar el uso de anestésicos locales, que está demostrado que incrementa los niveles de ansiedad y de esta manera disminuir el stress que se genera durante la consulta. La inversión inicial será de S/. 190,000.00 (Ciento Noventa Mil con 00/100 Nuevos Soles), siendo la principal inversión la compra de equipos y los gastos iniciales de la operatividad del negocio que llega a un monto de S/. 98,552.00. Debido a que es una empresa nueva y no cuenta con líneas de crédito, inicialmente los accionistas asumirán el 100% del financiamiento, sin embargo al tercer año ya podrán recuperar una parte de su inversión. De acuerdo al flujo de caja realizado y a los supuestos establecidos, como resultados financieros se estima un Valor Actual Neto (VAN) de S/. 158 (Ciento cincuenta y ocho soles), un Costo de Oportunidad de 32.5% y una Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR) de 51%, lo cual es bastante atractivo considerando el riesgo del negocio y las rentabilidades de negocios similares tales como clínicas dentales, laboratorios de análisis médicos, etc. Incluso la inversión inicial tiene un monto menor frente a negocios similares.Tesis

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In the beginning of the 2004 video essay Los Angeles plays itself, the Hollywood critical film theorist Thom Andersen states ‘The city is big. The image is small’. What Andersen refers to, as a long-time citizen of Los Angeles, is the way Hollywood tends to create a romanticised and narrowed image of its city through film. The three-hour long documentary by Andersen is built up mainly by the use of clips from different Hollywood movies through its history of filmmaking. By representing and reproducing these clips, he examines the ways the city has been depicted through decades. Utilizing and disassembling these misinterpreted images and stories, Andersen creates his own story which further reveals what he believes to be the truth. What interests me in Andersen’s case is the way he works with a city and its architecture, displaying the embedded social and political structures, by twisting the perspectives through the use and repetition of these historically recognizable clips. When he takes something that already exists and alters its presence or meaning, other questions might be evoked, making it more visible by exposing its opposites.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation explores how children communicate their experiences of place. It focuses on the qualitative methods of group interviews, walks, drawings and photographs, and asks how children communicate different aspects of place. Drawing on feminist theory and qualitative methodology, the importance of situated knowledge for understanding children’s narratives is argued. Through studies in Sweden and England, it is shown how children’s place experiences are multi-dimensional, consisting of both concrete and abstract processes, places and objects. The different methods reveal different aspects of these dimensions and the children provided rich evidence of their experience of place in regard to physical, social and cultural aspects. It is found that children’s individuality affects the success of the methods, rather than factors such as gender, age or nationality. The methods’ different characteristics, such as creative and interactive aspects, and how power relations are reflected through them are determining factors as to how and what children communicate. Place-interactive methods allow children to communicate the direct experience of place and include subconscious actions as communication occurs through movement and play. The creative aspects of the methods allow children to focus more on their abstract experiences and to include experiences based on a wider time perspective than the present. Walking is discussed as a critical method for the researcher to include place as an active and multi-sensuous phenomenon. As it is shown that the methods reveal different aspects of the children’s place experiences, it is also discussed how this can be used from an adult perspective.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis is the first sustained study of a new wave of Spanish writers. Known in the press as the “Nocilla Generation”, after Agustín Fernández Mallo’s Nocilla Project trilogy, the work of these authors responds to changing relations between urban subjects, virtual spaces and local places. This study portrays a broad group of writers, but it focuses on four texts: Agustín Fernández Mallo’s Nocilla Dream, Javier Calvo’s “Una belleza rusa” [“A Russian Beauty”], Gabi Martínez’s Ático [Top Floor Apartment] and Esther García Llovet’s Coda. The new wave authors have been described as belonging to a new digital consciousness wholly shaped by audiovisual media and the Internet. I argue instead that their narrative represents an effort to assimilate global and virtual space with local and physical places. Their varied texts converge around the theme of how subjects locate themselves within a fragmented and interconnected world. They create hybrid fictional spaces where social practices and meaning are produced through a continuous negotiation of the physical and virtual realms.
Within this overall theme I delineate two general tendencies. The first emphasizes the subject’s immersion in a global sphere of networked relations, portraying what Roland Robertson defines as a world space where “the local is merely a ‘micro’ manifestation of the global”. The second focuses on the subject’s relation to the particular places where this global space is manifested. However, while each text can be placed closer to one or the other conceptions, both these ideas are present to some degree in all of these narratives. This creates a persistent dialectic tension and shows the difficulty of reconciling the superimposed physical and cultural contexts that shape subjectivity in the contemporary world.
What drives these narratives is the search for new subjectivities, open to the plurality of today’s interconnected and fluctuating spaces. However, the hypothetical or metaphorical character of the new fluid subjectivities presented in these fictions underlines the ambiguities involved in seeking this new way of inhabiting the world. These fictions do not present or reflect new subjectivities but rather participate in an ongoing societal dialogue about how to confront a changing cultural environment.

The investigation is a rendering of research and writings on Australian Aboriginal religion, a recording of general views on research on religion and space, a recounting of written material of three theoretical standpoints on place (the Insider standpoint, the Outsider Standpoint and the Meshwork standpoint), and a comparison of the research on the Aboriginal religion to the three different standpoints. The results show that no single standpoint is gratifying for studies of the Aboriginal conceptions of place, but all three standpoints contribute in different ways. There are aspects from all three standpoints revealing the importance of place to the Aboriginal peoples. The most useful theoretical approaches for studies on the Australian Aboriginal conceptions of place are: Place as a living entity, an ancestor and an extension of itself; place as movement, transformation and continuity; place as connection, existential orientation and the paramount focus, and; place as the very foundation of the entire religion.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study began with a personal recognition of the importance of space in my creative process. As a theatre director, I need to see and feel the space for a work before I know how to direct or create the performance. Once I know what the space is everything falls into place. This fascination with space in my creative process has triggered a larger investigation into the operations of place in the making of contemporary performance.
The first part of the thesis embarks on a series of theoretical and creative journeys to learn more about place and how it is positioned within contemporary performance. It journeys
through contemporary theory on place in the work of Gaston Bachelard, Edward S. Casey, Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau and Marc Auge. These theorists think about place as a product of human dwelling and social production, and its conceived dimensions as psychic structures for a culture that embodies the fantasies, desires and visions of our places.
The thesis traces my physical journey from Australia to the Wooster Group in New York City and Forced Entertainment in Sheffield where I observed and worked with two significant contemporary performance companies, each in their own place. The Wooster Group has maintained an ongoing osmotic relationship with SoHo, absorbing the underground experimentations of performance makers in the 1960s, to the retail experimentations of Prada today in the now gentrified district. Similarly, Forced Entertainment has lived through a rejuvenation of Sheffield, which is examined in relation to a shift in the companys aesthetic and style. I also encountered these
companies and another, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, at festivals in Australia. Societas Raffaello Sanzio avoid endless repetition on tour with Tragedia Endogonidia a project that creates a new work for each place it performs in balancing the desires of the international performing arts market with a portable strategy towards place.
The second part of the thesis returns to examine the imaginaries of Australia and Adelaide, the nation and city in which I work. It considers the impact of these imaginaries in a performance laboratory called The Rope Project, which explores Adelaides myth of The Family and Alfred Hitchcocks Rope. Lacans notion of the imaginary is used to examine the national imaginary of Australia as place where people disappear, an imaginary maintained by representations that imbue the Australian landscape with a hostile agency. The thesis argues that the erasure implicit in the colonial concept of terra nullius has informed a national imaginary obsessed with disappearance. A dossier of The Rope Project reveals the myth of The Family explored as a representation in the performance laboratory. The Family is the result of two competing imaginaries connected to the city of Adelaide: its founding utopian imaginary, the Athens of the South, and its horror-inverse, The Worlds Murder Capital. This mythology was generated as a conservative backlash to the social reforms of Premier Don Dunstan and maintains a perceived connection between homosexuality and deviance. The thesis offers in conclusion fresh insights into the use of the imaginary and lived aspects of place in the creation of new performance works.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The relevance of places to people has been questioned in recent times, as the world has become increasingly globalised and people more mobile. The aim of this research was to explore the relationship between sense of place and people’s behaviour in ‘ordinary’, everyday places. This contrasts with much prior research, which has focused on ‘special’ places, such as national parks and impressive landscapes in order to investigate the components of sense of place. Most people do not live in such places, but inhabit ordinary places in (sub) urban contexts. The research questions were: How does sense of place manifest in an ordinary, everyday landscape? In what ways can social learning impact upon the dynamics of sense of place? Can a more salient sense of place affect people’s attitudes towards and behaviour within their local area? Using an action research approach, pre- and post-interviews and three workshops to create a sustainable future vision at a neighbourhood level of scale, and the town as a whole, were held with fourteen residents of East Bolton, in the North West of England. The activities were designed to facilitate interaction between the participants, so that meanings attributed to places could be shared and discussed. This approach allowed participants to see familiar places in new ways and to share perspectives. The key themes that emerged from this research were: the importance of childhood places; the impact of mobility – both physical and social mobility; the interdependence of places at various scales; and also self-efficacy and people’s ability to influence their surroundings. A key finding was that sense of place can be made more salient for people in ‘ordinary’ landscapes, particularly if people are given direct experience of their places and opportunities to share and reflect on their perceptions relating to place. Social learning, however, takes time and requires resources to create opportunities to influence the salience of sense of place. The findings point to the value of promoting social learning through engagement activities. Planners, regeneration project officers and citizen groups could utilise sense of place as an organising principle to explore place meanings and as a catalyst for stimulating local action. Participants found it more difficult to discuss sense of place at the neighbourhood level of scale than the town level of scale, partly owing to their differing conception of boundaries and lack of awareness of the neighbourhood beyond the home. This has implications for implementing the localism agenda, suggesting that local action and visioning needs to be situated within activities nested at a range of scales in order to be most effective. The drive towards localism may lead to more self-organising and activism emerging from outside of the formal planning system and becoming a force for collective place shaping. Thus, the benefits of developing a more salient sense of place may also have impacts in less formal ways, such as greater interest and involvement in neighbourhood affairs and increased capacity-building, from which community action could potentially emerge.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
While landscape has long been an active field of study within archaeology, little attention has been given to place. However, as conceptions of landscapes become increasingly nuanced and complex, it becomes increasingly appropriate to shift the focus of analysis to place in order to better engage with the experiential, sensory, and emotive aspects of lived spaces and worlds. Furthermore, place encourages a broader perspective and holistic approach in which the past and present are intertwined and therefore equally significant to interpretations. This thesis investigates the relationship between archaeology and senses of place in order to examine the ways in which the remains of the past are relevant to the present. Two Irish islands - Valentia Island and Achill Island - are explored through engagement with their archaeological landscapes, historical research, and ethnography. The study shows that conceptions of the islands as places are characterised by perceptions and relationships with their pasts. Furthermore, both places are largely identified by their more recent histories, particularly the 19th century, demonstrating the importance of historical and contemporary archaeology. In short, this study shows that archaeology and senses of place are linked, and that each influences the other. Thus it is suggested that in order to fully understand the archaeology of a particular place some engagement with such aspects of place are necessary. Furthermore, in order to best serve the communities and societies which inhabit these spaces and landscapes, archaeology should take into account contemporary perspectives and experiences, and this means engaging with place as a conceptual framework

Includes bibliographical references (pages 111-119).
The thesis is written as a theoretical presentation of the research I conducted at MIT between 2013 and 2015. I will discuss what I consider to be an important aspect of my artistic practice; creating places of exchange, through the works I have made at MIT, and through past projects and works (2002-2013). I will deal with the following questions: What does place of exchange mean? How do I create this? And for whom is it made? The term "place of exchange" is meant to replace the traditional term for art in public space, "public art." I argue that the term public art has been worshipped in the last decades by institutions, academia, curators, art historians, and artists. This term gives more importance to the location of the work, and the possible function it can or should have, than to the Public it is supposed to address. The space in which any work is built does not automatically turn the work into a public artwork. It is not only the space the work creates, but also the time the work creates, that turns a work into a public artwork. What I consider to be important in public space is the place of the Public in relation to the situation any artwork creates (it can be visual, auditory, written, performed, or printed). That created space is not "public" because of its existence, but because it managed to interact with and demand the public's time. What does "public time" mean? Both the artist and the artwork are seeking the actual time people can share with the work to enable a discussion, an exchange. What does attract and bring the public to interact and become active? How can the work invoke a spectator to question, doubt, and take/give time? I discuss in this thesis other aspects of my practice in relation to my research and final proposal. These are aspects such as: dialogue with the space the work will be built in (the medium; a room, a square, a book, or a poster), the surrounding (architecture), the history, the function, and the theme I am interested in questioning (context and content), as well as the individual perspective of the spectator (be it visual, sensual, intellectual, or physical). My aim is to create a work where an exchange can take place, where my participation or agency can come into play. In the thesis open conclusion, I present my current project: KARADA, an experimental opera installation. The project is a proposal for a stage/art installation that embraces both the performer and the audience. The visitor/spectator/audience/occupiers become both at once, through their movement in the space and through the physical experience of the music by means of vibration. The individual activates the sound by touch sensors, and conducts his experience in relation to his and other spectators' movement and interaction within the space and with its objects.

People are sociable creatures. we need social interaction of various sorts, including casual contact with strangers as well as planned meetings with friends and acquaintances. It is the task of the designer to understand these needs and help provide appropriate settings for social contact. This thesis examines one such setting: public outdoor spaces, or gathering places, and attempts to discover design elements which can help these places support social contact and gathering. These elements are presented in the form of design criteria, which are then applied to a short design study. Finally, this thesis proposes that we incorporate more of these places with in smaller cities and neighborhoods, to bolster existing social networks and to provide greater opportunities for meeting and gathering within communities.

College and university campuses have the potential to organize buildings, outdoor spaces, pedestrian corridors, roadways, parking lots, and infrastructure all within one cohesive and unified place. Dynamic but unified spaces are typically the result of thoughtful architecture, landscape architecture, and years of planning. Recognizable design styles, material use, and plant palettes work together to create something bigger than simply a collection of buildings, transportation corridors, and outdoor spaces. Each building, group of buildings, series of spaces, transportation feature, and infrastructural component needs to be designed and implemented with the entire campus in mind to be truly successful. When planned correctly, a unified campus can harbor innovation, provide inspiration, and initiate interaction. Stouffer Place Apartments has evolved into a secluded housing development within the midst of the busy University of Kansas (KU) campus. Apartments are only available to graduate students, international students, students with families, non-traditional students, and post-doctoral researchers. Stouffer Place has maintained a quiet and peaceful atmosphere at the corner of 19th and Iowa in Lawrence, Kansas since 1957. Like so many of the university housing developments built after World War II, Stouffer Place is full of aging infrastructure, providing the basis for a discussion of a new or renovated development on the site (Casey-Powell 1999, 86). Not only are the aging Stouffer Place buildings an eyesore to many people in the community, but their existing arrangement limits community interaction and shared space. Additionally, many of the Stouffer Place apartment buildings are near the end of their lifetime, but they can they be recycled, reused, and deconstructed to create dynamic spaces for the residents. In short, Stouffer Place can be redeveloped to create a new model of affordable, sustainable, and self-sufficient on-campus apartments that attract and retain students as well as create a higher quality of life. With the growing trend of sustainable building practices, KU’s Department of Student Housing (DSH) has an immense opportunity to transform this student community into a model for other universities nationwide. By implementing a design strategy that successfully reuses and phases out the existing built infrastructure of the site, a place that facilitates sustainable living and community interaction will be created. Through this project, the culture and identity of Stouffer Place is revealed and catalyzed, using the missions of KU and DSH to create a plan that supports, sustains, and creates.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa, para obtenção do grau de mestre em Arquitetura.Como desenhar uma habitação que proporcione uma maior qualidade de vida para a população idosa? Foi esta a questão de partida para o trabalho final de mestrado, que procurou dar resposta a um aspecto do envelhecimento demográfico que se tem vindo a fazer notar nas últimas décadas. O objectivo passou por pensar a habitação como parte da solução, e não mais um problema, entre muitos, que assola a população de uma faixa etária acima dos 65 anos. Para isto foi explorado o conceito de aging in place, aliado ao de design inclusivo, culminando numa habitação-protótipo que já inclui no seu desenho original muitas das soluções que melhoram a qualidade de vida de quem já está numa fase avançada da vida. O território escolhido, na zona do Braço de Prata (em Marvila), encontra-se hoje com um edificado degradado, com uma população de antigos operários com um baixo nível de escolaridade, e com uma grande percentagem de idosos. Estes factores constituiram o pretexto ideal para uma intervenção de grande escala, permitindo resolver questões relacionadas com a própria configuração do terreno e aplicar os conceitos estudados, num projecto multifuncional contendo habitação, equipamento, comércio e espaço de co-work. A proposta procura assim revitalizar uma zona da cidade, impedindo um processo de gentrificação e de segregação social. Espera-se que este projecto tenha um efeito catalisador na envolvente, promovendo uma maior dinâmica na vivência do espaço público e oferecendo condições para o surgimento de novas construções que consigam, no futuro, transformar o Braço de Prata num elo de ligação entre o centro histórico (Baixa Pombalina) e o centro actual (Parque das Nações).
ABSTRACT: How to draw a housing that provides a higher quality of life for the elderly? This was the starting point for the master’s degree final work, which tried to respond to demographic aging, which has been growing in the past decades. The aim was to think housing as part of the solution, instead of another problem among many that the population over 65 faces. To do this, we explored the concept of aging in place, coupled with design for all, culminating in a housing prototype that already includes in its original design many of the solutions that improve the quality of life of those who are already at an advanced stage of life. The chosen territory, the Braço de Prata area (in Marvila), is highly degraded nowadays and has a population of older workers with a low education level, and a large percentage of the elderly. These two factors constituted the ideal pretext for a large-scale intervention, solving issues related to the very configuration of the land and applying the concepts studied in a multifunctional project containing housing, equipment, stores and co-work spaces. This proposal seeks to revitalize an area of the city, preventing a process of gentrification and social segregation. It is expected that this project has a catalytic effect on the environment, promoting a more dynamic experience in the public space and offering conditions for the emergence of new construction that may in the future make Braço de Prata the link between the historic center (Baixa Pombalina) and the current center (Parque das Nações).

Thesis is the quest to uncover, investigate and define the inherent, personal architectural principles that drive design. The thesis project is the vehicle that gives the boundaries and construct within which the discovery process takes place. Studying the thesis project as well as studio work from previous years is the process used to uncover where the opportunities for architecture lie.
The opportunities for discovery are found where forms, elements and/or materials meet, the connections. These connections are affected by the site and program, creating a unique structure for each project. The pulling apart of structure and materials to reveal what 'is,' provides the basis of these separations and connections. The separations show the individual components of the connection, allowing for clarity of structure. The place in which these components meet is the threshold.
Threshold is the key to this thesis and design. There have been many theories relating to the concept of threshold that have affected my thoughts and apply to this thesis design. In historical order, Plato’s Theory of Opposites, Aristotle's Theory of Contrariety, Van Eyck's Twin Phenomenon, Venturi's Both-And, Norberg-Schulz's Intermediary Objects, and von Meiss's Threshold Theory. Each theory deals with the connection between contradictory or opposing phenomenon. It is at the threshold that these phenomenon or forces are articulated. In studying the theories and the thesis design three clear types of threshold are apparent. They are separating, mediating and transitional. For all types, the threshold is where architecture comes alive.
The program and site for the thesis project gives a context in which to study architecture. The project chosen for thesis study is a Unitarian Universalist Church for the New River Valley Fellowship in Blacksburg, Virginia. The ideology of the Unitarian Universalist religion as well as the specific views of the Blacksburg congregation are important to the selection of the site, the division of the spaces, and the design of the structure. The program was set out by the congregation for the new facility recently completed. A new site was chosen in Blacksburg. The ideology of the Blacksburg congregation in combination with the program and site create boundaries for the thesis project. The design process takes them all into account, creating an inherent order and hierarchy to the building.
The thesis design is affected on all levels by the need to separate and reveal the structure, to articulate the joint, and explore the "in-between realm." This investigation of threshold is interwoven into all the design explorations such as geometry, path, structure, form and construction. The resulting building, its elements and materials, create the character of the building. The experience of sequence, color, form and feel of each place.Master of Architecture

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
"The Spinning Place" finds its impetus in the intersection of the spiritual and material, and while often dwelling in a domestic milieu, the poems move outward both figuratively and literally. For instance, one poem re-narrates the tale of Rumpelstiltskin, several poems are about divination by various means (frogs, animal behavior), and another performs an erasure of the last supper so that it instead tells a woman's experience in a delivery room. I borrow the title of the collection from a stanza of Dylan Thomas's poem "Fern Hill," and the excerpt (which will become an epigraph to the book) reads: "So it must have been after the birth of the simple light / In the first, spinning place, the spellbound horses walking warm / Out of the whinnying green stable / On to the fields of praise." Thomas refers to the newly created earth as the "spinning place," imagining the fleeting idyll and harmony of that scene. In a similar way, my new poems specifically explore moments of creation, birth, and discovery, drawing from a variety of inspirations, including recognizable narratives and myths, as well as personal experience.

A building is designed from a set of initial intended needs and uses. Yet, a building is a construction of its time and values that will stand for future generations long after the client and architect have faded. Therefore, an architectural intervention has a responsibility to the greater whole, the city.
The subject of the thesis is the design of a house in Wilmington, North Carolina. The concern of the design is not the building as an object. The design is a proposal in architectural terms of what is necessary to render concrete the possibilities of a specific location that will serve our ever-changing daily needs, uses and desires with dignity. The proposal is based on an investigation of the fabric of place into which the building will be woven. That fabric consists of the natural landscape and the human interventions that have transformed it throughout its history.Master of Architecture
