Show moreThis thesis is an examination of the conception and creation of architecture through the use of human sensory perception, specifically, architecture through the perception of sound. Furthermore it is a study on the relationship between architecture and the human experience. This thesis focuses on the phenomenon of sound and hearing relative to how the human body engages architecture. The core of the research will elaborate on two specific questions: #1 (Can Architecture be heard?) and #2 (How can hearing and the phenomenon of sound potentially shape architectural form ?).

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

This study is a content analysis that examines how issues and events impacted news coverage in three Whig newspapers: the Florida Whig, the A Florida Sentinel and the Florida Republican. All were printed in Florida between 1848 and 1852, a time when the Whig Party led state and national government. Content analysis was chosen to track any changes in article length, article frequency, news hole, and topic prominence of articles about slavery and the 1850 Compromise. This study shows that the...
Show moreThis study is a content analysis that examines how issues and events impacted news coverage in three Whig newspapers: the Florida Whig, the A Florida Sentinel and the Florida Republican. All were printed in Florida between 1848 and 1852, a time when the Whig Party led state and national government. Content analysis was chosen to track any changes in article length, article frequency, news hole, and topic prominence of articles about slavery and the 1850 Compromise. This study shows that the length and frequency of articles in the three Florida Whig newspapers increased or decreased with fluctuations of Whig Party emphasis on slavery and the 1850 Compromise. it also shows slavery and the 1850 Compromise were seldom the primary topics of any article. Normally the topics would be coupled with others: state's rights, territorial annexation, and economics. The study suggests that emphasis was heightened, not only by the Whig drive to persuade Floridians to their political side, but by specific events such as presidential elections and the d

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.

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.
