her name is alice - revised and editedSpring Beard
Jayda moved into her new dream house, which had two bedrooms and one bathroom. She planned to use one bedroom as an office to write novels. After unpacking, she made a quick pasta dinner. Later that night, she heard a noise and found a little girl named Alice sitting on her couch, who claimed the house was hers. When Jayda said she would call the police, Alice disappeared. That night, Jayda was suffocated in her sleep by Alice, who told her she would sleep forever since it was Alice's house.
The Lord instructed Moses to send spies, one from each Israelite tribe, to explore the land of Canaan that God had promised to give them. The spies surveyed the land and people for 40 days. Upon their return, they reported that the land was indeed fertile and prosperous, "flowing with milk and honey." However, they exaggerated the strength of the people living there, saying they were like giants and the cities were heavily fortified. All the spies except Caleb and Joshua said the Israelites could not be victorious in taking the land. This negative report discouraged the people and weakened their faith in God's promise.
The document discusses the importance of empathy and how it relates to the church body and hospitality. It states that all parts of the church body are necessary, though some may think some parts are less valuable. However, those parts thought to be less valuable are actually invaluable. It then discusses empathy as standing in someone else's shoes, feeling what they feel, and seeing from their perspective. Empathy is difficult to automate but makes the world a better place. It concludes that transformation begins with empathic hospitality.

The use of open-source platforms like Omeka allows for extensible and sustainable digital curation of cities.
This document outlines a landscape architecture project for students to redesign part of a road infrastructure site in Manchester, England called the Mancunian Way. The project aims to address problems caused by the road's construction, like separating the city, and to find productive uses for unused spaces. It is divided into three parts: observing the site, generating design concepts, and presenting proposals. Students will work in groups to document the site and issues, and individually to propose transforming part of the site through an urban agriculture design informed by research into sustainability themes. The final portfolio will include documentation of the site and process, as well as designs, models, and precedents.

2019: Immersing in the ”Familiar City”: A case study based on walk through toursCătălina-Ionela Rezeanu
This project examines how citizens experience and engage with urban spaces in Brasov, Romania through ethnographic research methods. Researchers conducted walk-through tours with participants to understand how they navigate and interact with the city. They analyzed the data collected to identify themes of mobility, attentiveness, attachment, territoriality, and memory. The researchers involved students and community members to challenge their interpretations and ensure the project produces knowledge about the city from the perspective of its inhabitants. They aim to sustain the project by publishing academic papers, continuing research collaborations, and maintaining an online platform to engage the public.

From STEM to STEAM: Aerospace Partnerships with Cultural Heritage DiagnosticsAshley M. Richter
This document discusses promoting partnerships between aerospace engineering and cultural heritage diagnostics. It argues that the fields should collaborate more on developing and using diagnostic imaging and visualization technologies. Specifically, it proposes that they work together on spatial and temporal analysis and visualization, surveying, remote data processing, and science education. The document provides examples of cultural heritage diagnostic projects in places like Jordan, Italy, and the Mediterranean basin. It outlines a proposed workflow for acquiring diagnostic data, curating it, analyzing it, and disseminating it. The goal is to use engineering tools and fieldwork to better understand and engage the public with cultural artifacts and landscapes from the past while also providing hands-on experience for engineers.
The document summarizes a PhD thesis that examined how people value and use urban beaches along the Gold Coast in Australia. The research sought to understand the complex relationships between people and public spaces at beaches. It analyzed three beach precincts, examining the urban design attributes, public access to amenities, and expectations of different user groups. The research methods included literature reviews, observations of space use, and surveys. The findings suggest that the beach precincts are designed in a way that advantages active adult males while disadvantaging others like families and people with disabilities. The spaces have been politically allocated as sacred for some groups and profane for others.

Re-Evaluating the Undergraduate Internship: New STEAM Pathways Towards Interd...Ashley M. Richter
This document describes the CISA3 Undergraduate Research Innovation Internship (CURII) program. The CURII program aims to train undergraduates in interdisciplinary collaborative research through hands-on cultural heritage diagnostic projects. Students design and conduct research projects under faculty advisement, with the goal of bridging communication between fields of study. The program emphasizes flexibility, hands-on experience, and science communication. Case studies provide examples of past student projects and career outcomes. The conclusion discusses the benefits of flexible experiential learning in creating opportunities for sustainable collaboration.
The document discusses two charrette sites in Blacksburg, Virginia that were the focus of an "Xtreme LA" event hosted by Virginia Tech. For the former middle school site (called "Middle Hill"), the team proposed mixed-use and mixed-density housing, connected open spaces, and pedestrian-friendly streets to create a diverse, connected new neighborhood. For the second site ("The Cradle") between a forest and trail, the team proposed preserving ecology, increasing connectivity and green space, and higher density housing while protecting natural areas. The charrette brought together professionals and students to develop creative planning solutions for managing growth in Blacksburg through sustainable development.
This document summarizes a partnership project between Kansas State University and the National Park Service focused on revitalizing the National Historic Site in Nicodemus, Kansas. The partnership engaged over 20 faculty and 41 students across 6 university colleges. Students developed economic development strategies for Nicodemus and proposals to enhance public inclusion in the National Park System. Challenges included limited resources in rural towns, but the sustained engagement of stakeholders through meetings and critiques helped address competing interests and find merits in multiple proposals. The university is committed to long-term support for developing community sustainability strategies in Nicodemus.
The document provides an overview of the Manchester School of Architecture's (MSA) BA (Hons) Architecture program for years 1, 2, and 3.

The project used ethnographic methods like observations, touchstone tours, focus groups, and reflective logs to understand student behavior and needs. A student UX team helped with mapping, observing, and gathering feedback. The project provided recommendations for existing spaces and new buildings based on the findings. It demonstrated how UX methodology can provide valuable insights for improving services and facilities from the student perspective.
Blending in-person and online library services by utilizing mobile technologyJason Casden
This document summarizes three projects at North Carolina State University Libraries that utilize mobile technology to better integrate in-person and online library services. The projects discussed are WolfWalk, which provides a mobile tour of campus history; Suma, a system for collecting and analyzing data on physical space usage; and an iPad kiosk application to provide reference help. The presentation considers how mobility can be used to reach new users, extend in-person services, better understand space usage, and enhance staff performance.
This document discusses designing library learning spaces through participatory and values-based processes. It describes a "charrette", which is an intensive workshop bringing together stakeholders to collaboratively develop a conceptual design for a school library. The "Mosaic" approach and "VAST" heuristic are also presented as inclusive methods to evaluate an existing library space from multiple perspectives. Recommendations emphasize identifying all stakeholders, consulting them early and often, and allowing time for relationships and understandings to develop before planning. The goal is to enable stakeholders to collectively imagine and reimagine the space.

Brenna_cv_2016
1. Summary:
I am a hybrid creative professional with over 14 years of experience bringing a well-rounded
and scholarly approach that emerges from an interdisciplinary design paradigm and field
experience. Shaped by deep research and driven by strategic rigor, my work sits at the
intersection of architecture, spatial cognition, gerontology, anthropometry, material culture
and anthropometrics to design optimal user experiences.
I bring a clear understanding of the design process through actualization with experience in
conceptualization, planning, research, documentation, understanding vernacular variables
and ensuring clear communication along the way. I specialize in translating strategic insights
into elegant, tangible spatial experiences and universal design solutions. It is this process
that forges desirable spatial experiences which are functional, efficient, sustainable and
pleasing to all our senses.
I am passionately engaged in studying the sociocultural undercurrents of the past to have a
grounded understanding of the present and bring a more informed and inspired mind along
with an open ear to conceptualizing and actualize possible futures.
