M. Arch thesis: Living Arts Center in Phnom Penh
This slideshow breaks down design strategies from midterm for my project regarding program, site, facade and performance.
The document appears to be a design portfolio for Allison N. Byrd that includes her contact information and examples of interior design projects. Some of the projects featured include designs for a boutique hotel honoring the heritage of Valdese, NC, sustainable building and music recording studio designs, renderings of commercial and residential interiors, and café, retail, and coffee cart designs for a natural science museum. The portfolio showcases Byrd's range of interior design work through drawings, diagrams, and renderings.
Nathan Lanzetti is an architecture student at Clemson University expected to graduate in May 2013 with a Bachelor of Art and Design degree concentrating in Architecture and a minor in Music performance. He has experience working at South Chase Custom Homes, LLC where he designed and planned architectural projects including preparation of plans, elevations, sections, and renderings. Nathan is an accomplished cellist and has won several national awards for his CAD skills. He is proficient in various design software and seeks to intern at a successful firm that excels in architectural and inter-disciplinary design.
The Pylon Design Competition shortlisted designs. An exhibition featuring models of the designs runs until the 5 October 2011 at the V&A museum, London.
This document summarizes a graduate thesis proposal for a design project focused on courtyard architecture. The proposal involves designing the headquarters for a bookstore and music franchise in Pune, India centered around three internal courtyards. The design aims to incorporate courtyard principles like natural light, ventilation, and indoor green spaces to create a sustainable and pleasant work environment. Schematic plans and sections depict the building organized around the courtyards with different types of spaces and activities arranged around each one.
This document is a thesis submitted in 2014 to the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. It examines the relationship between UNESCO, the State Party of Ukraine, and the city of L'viv regarding the preservation of L'viv as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The thesis will explore L'viv's nomination process to become a World Heritage site, the subsequent requirements and reports from UNESCO, and the political issues that have arisen between L'viv and the capital city of Kiev. It will also address the need for greater public education in L'viv about the preservation of the historic sites. The thesis utilizes documents from UNESCO and Ukraine, as well as interviews with L'viv city officials

Exploring Cultural Heritage and Value creation - A Case Study of DR’s Cultura...Miriam Lerkenfeld
Written by Tobias Golodnoff / Miriam Lerkenfeld
The objective of the research is to give a theoretical understanding of the value created when digitising a cultural heritage.
This research is grounded in a case study of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s Cultural Heritage Project. The project deals with the digitisation of an analogue radio and television collection of more than 500.000 hours of content, and with the work being done after digitisation ensuring archive content in collaboration with other public cultural institutions and the research community becomes available to the public. The project group is an inter-organisational team combining expertise from many places within the organisation.
When establishing a project of this kind, some aspects have significance on the value creation. Findings are, that flexibility is key, and hence, the use of resources within the budget should not be too specific, because it is unpredictable where cost can be cut, or where extra resources will be needed. Also, a scanning process is essential for defining the objectives of future tasks, and focus should not be to solve one problem, but exploring challenges that can be useful for different scenarios.
In addition, findings are that collaboration is a good tool for diffusing digitised cultural heritage, and these collaborations should have a variable, decentralised structure, in order to facilitate different needs and objectives. Another emphasis should be put on the openness towards collaboration partners, so shared value can be created and utilised - benefiting not just the organisations, but society in general. Conclusively, the overall goal when digitising the cultural heritage is always to make it accessible for the users. The conclusion leads to four principle guidelines which are: use is value, transparent boxes, open source collective, flexible frameworks, and project economy.
Finally, a vision is presented, a society where public service is substituted for public resources, constructing a all-encompassing cultural production system with fluid borders and autonomous projects based on a set of clearly defined objectives.
Introduction to a graduate thesis in architecture- culmination of design program- for the undergraduate course B.Arch in India. It gives a broad outlay & fundamental understanding of the thesis program for the final year students.

Master thesis Architecture: research on Wuxi's industrial heritage (China): w...Marco Bencivenga
The thesis is a part of an on-going academic research promoted by the cooperation between Interdepartmental Research Center Urban/Eco (University Federico II of Naples, Italy) and the School of design (Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China). The thesis argues about the evolution of the historical city centre of Wuxi, hand in hand with the industrial development, to understand the conversion process and necessary strategies required to install new architectural programme within the existing industrial sites, recognizing their unique conditions. Embracing multi-scaled approach, the thesis proposes new landscape chances of uses by putting the remains of industrial cores in a network that constitutes a clustering of art, history, leisure and entertainment. Among them, more attention is given to Taibaodun area, main industrial core of Wuxi, and Maoxin site, the former industrial site of Taibaodun area.
The document proposes the Chair Oneergo Tech Recliner, a reclining chair with integrated technology for personal use and public spaces. It features adjustable zero-gravity positions, a touch screen interface for controls and entertainment, and a sleek modern design to save space. accompanying stasis rooms are also proposed, which would provide private spaces to fully experience the chair and its control of ambient conditions like temperature, lighting and sound.
Urban renewal quiapo sta cruz district thesis 2011 aiaAleli Arafol
The document provides information on two barangays located in District III of Manila. Barangay 306 has 20 blocks, 2 plazas, 1 church and 15 streets, while Barangay 384 has 16 blocks, 11 streets and 1 mosque. Together the barangays cover an area of 95,164.58 square meters, which is 16% of District III. The document then discusses the history and development of the area, including the influence of different religions, its role as a trading center, and current land uses and urban renewal plans. Figures and tables provide additional data on population, land area breakdown, and inventory of informal/formal vendors.
The document discusses the design of a new arts center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia called the Living Arts Incubator. It will be built for Cambodian Living Arts (CLA), an organization that aims to revive Cambodian traditional art forms and inspire contemporary artistic expression. The center aims to celebrate Cambodia's rich artistic heritage and help define a new Cambodian cultural identity that balances tradition and modernity. It will support CLA's mission and help realize their vision of making the arts Cambodia's international signature by 2020.
The document discusses four case studies on the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and structures based on different schools of thought. It focuses on the restoration of the Bhaudaji Lad Museum in Mumbai and the adaptive reuse of traditional pol houses in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The pol houses showcase the rich culture and traditions of the past but now face issues due to modernization. The case study proposes sensitively adapting the structures for new uses while preserving original fabric to promote heritage conservation and generate funds for maintenance. This allows the buildings to be sustainably reused in a way that benefits both inhabitants and preservation of cultural heritage.
