1. Abstract The process of delivering architecture has taken on many new faces-faces which now include the contractor, architect and owner as integral participants in the overall delivery of a project. With these new changing faces have come new roles and responsibilities for each of the major players to include the addition of other players. These changes have caused the birth of construction managers and engineers who play integral roles in the delivery of the project. With the addition of...
Show more1. Abstract The process of delivering architecture has taken on many new faces-faces which now include the contractor, architect and owner as integral participants in the overall delivery of a project. With these new changing faces have come new roles and responsibilities for each of the major players to include the addition of other players. These changes have caused the birth of construction managers and engineers who play integral roles in the delivery of the project. With the addition of these players come new delivery methods that try to build on the traditional design- bid—construct method. These new methods of Construction Management (CM) and Design Build (DB), are slowly becoming the choice methods of major sponsors both private and public. Because these methods offer the client a faster delivery time and more control of cost than the traditional delivery method, owners are rushing to make use of the benefits of these methods. Therefore, the owner must make choices about how to rate these methods and select one which will fit their needs. The State University System (SUS) of Florida is an owner large enough to use all three of these methods. It makes choices based on project criteria, rules, regulations, politics, economics, time, efficiency and laws about which method it will and can use. This thesis will investigate the SUS’s criteria used for the selection of one of these delivery methods. Then it will compare how these and other potential alternative methods could be used by the SUS. The investigation will yield some insight into how these systems (Design-Bid, DB and CM) relate to each other in similar building types and the similar types of organizations which are needed to back these systems. It is my belief that these project delivery systems perform very differently under very similar conditions. i also believe that these delivery systems do not perform to their full potential if they are ill matched to the project scope and needs. This thesis will then make an assessment on whether the

Suburban Sprawl Development is the growth pattern that predominated after World War ll. This model had a jump-start given by public policies, and put the nuclear family in a suburban landscape. In this thesis some of the problems that sprawl generates are identified. Loss of public space, loss of sense of place and loss of community identity are the most characteristic ones. It also reviews the characteristics of Suburban Sprawl, Transit Oriented Development and Traditional Neighborhood...
Show moreSuburban Sprawl Development is the growth pattern that predominated after World War ll. This model had a jump-start given by public policies, and put the nuclear family in a suburban landscape. In this thesis some of the problems that sprawl generates are identified. Loss of public space, loss of sense of place and loss of community identity are the most characteristic ones. It also reviews the characteristics of Suburban Sprawl, Transit Oriented Development and Traditional Neighborhood Patterns. This thesis also examines how some of these development patterns can be used to improve an existing community, and how sometimes they degrade it. In this study, sustainability patterns that break down use separations; sustainability patterns that mix activities and bring people together will be validated. The proposed improvements reestablish communities and make neighborhoods more livable, by sharing spaces, and by creating pedestrian friendly environments and open recreational areas. The first part of this research is the study of the different patterns of community development, and is followed by an evaluation of different existing neighborhoods located in Vancouver-Canada and Jacksonville-Florida. This evaluation indicates how projects intended to revitalize existing neighborhoods are feasible. It also shows how the principles proposed to redevelop these areas could be applied in the area selected for the revitalization. xivFor this thesis an existing neighborhood, located in the south side of Tallahassee, was selected for revitalization, planning and design. Traditional neighborhood elements were considered for the revitalization. The inhabitant’s social classes are determined; the market for which the project is oriented is also determined; and the neighborhood’s development is analyzed in terms of its quality. The improvement of this existing community by the incorporation of traditional neighborhood pattern's design and planning principles is the goal of this thesis. The work demonstrates a practical application of traditional neighborhood patterns in order to improve an existing community’s quality. It also shows how architects are able to choose a healthier option for communities’ design and development. XV

Juvenile intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers assess and detain youth who have committed a delinquent or criminal act. The performance goals for these facilities are SECURITY, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, and STAFF AND YOUTH COMFORT. These goals complement each other, however, usually due to limited budgets, issues of comfort are not always implemented. This report examines comfort issues as related to juvenile intake screening facilities and admission/release area of...
Show moreJuvenile intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers assess and detain youth who have committed a delinquent or criminal act. The performance goals for these facilities are SECURITY, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, and STAFF AND YOUTH COMFORT. These goals complement each other, however, usually due to limited budgets, issues of comfort are not always implemented. This report examines comfort issues as related to juvenile intake screening facilities and admission/release area of juvenile detention centers. The psychological goals which address comfort issues in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers are: REDUCE TENSION, REDUCE ANXIETY, provide a NON-THREATENING ATMOSPHERE, REDUCE CHANCES OF CONFLICT, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF TIME, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF SPACE, MAINTAIN STAFF CONTROL, and increase COMMUNICATION AMONG STAFF. The comfort issues examined in this report are related to: PROXEMICS, FURNITURE, NATURAL LIGHT, PRIVACY, and CHOICE. The results of this report indicate that architectural elements relating to staff and youth comfort be incorporated in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers. The benefits of incorporating comfort issues can be applied to the remaining areas of juvenile detention centers, and to other residential juvenile delinquent program facilities.
