unCommon ground
… a set of calibrated relationships with the ground and floating infrastructure, stitches together people within the open core and works against the detritus of old divisions. Through this intervention, a new grain emerges which connects Brooklyn's blocks and transforms the residual slivers …

Play-ground
… landscape strategies of municipal playgrounds found in urban America and the rubber-stamping strategies of big-box retail which are disseminated throughout the American suburban landscape, this thesis attempts to recover the surface parking lot by equating park and parking in a …

Breaking Ground
The project evolved from a series of questions regarding the possibilities/interactions between building and site. The project consists of housing, a chapel and the relationship to the land they occupy.

Playable Ground
… as adults. Yet the colorful and ubiquitous playground structures found in most parks often fall short of their full potential. These plastic playgrounds, which should serve as catalysts for creative thought and action in children, are limited in their sameness. Furthermore, the playground …

Analytical methods to interpret ground deformations due to soft ground tunneling
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, February 2000.

Passenger-Centric Ground Holding : including connections in ground delay program decisions
… modifications to the way that ground holding delays are allocated in Ground Delay Programs. The allocation of landing slots to arriving flights during time periods when the overall capacity at an airport is reduced due to adverse weather conditions or other circumstances is a …

Ground and Relative Fundamentality
<p>Ground is a distinctively metaphysical notion of explanation. Often expressed with the phrase `in virtue of', ground has recently found some popularity among metaphysicians. In this dissertation I argue that the notion is well understood and useful, but not primitive. I argue that we should …

Air-ground temperature exchange
… the exchange of temperature between the air and ground surface remains constant. However, secular changes in boundary-layer factors can generate anomalous ground temperatures. This dissertation is an investigation of factors that cause separation of air and ground temperatures on a seasonal to …

Wind Induced Ground Motion
… good understanding of the mechanism of the wind-ground coupling. This thesis investigates the driving pressure and shear stress perturbations on the ground surface associated with wind-induced ground motions. A prediction of the ground displacements spectra from the measured ground properties and …

Ground zero : three novellas
… ending is, on reflection, deeply problematic. "Ground Zero" is darker in tone, dealing with dissolution and disintegration. "Pesadilla Beach" involves memory and different generations in the same community. These stories are told through limited third person from the point of view of the young …

From The Ground Up
This thesis studies the relationship between the internal characteristics of the site, based on an existing set of artifacts, abandoned concrete railroad trestles, and external views of them. The project establishes orthogonal and non-orthogonal geometries in re-developing this urban site creating …

The African burial ground
This thesis is tripartite. It is at once a search for the universal principles of good architecture, an architect's personal search for what is valuable, and the exploration of some particular ideas in a particular project. The successful thesis joins the universal and the particular and calls into …

Evaluation of analytical methods to interpret ground deformations due to soft ground tunneling
… of analytical solutions in describing ground movements induced by soft ground tunneling. The analytical solutions that were examined consider both isotropic and anisotropic stiffness parameters and were proposed by Pinto and Whittle (1999) and Chatzigiannelis and Whittle (2001) …

Simulation of a vertical ground-coupled heat pump system with optimal ground loop design
… the thermal energy found in the earth's crust. Ground coupled heat pumps (GCHP) consist of a water-to-air or water-to-water heat pump, a circulator pump, a buried pipe grid and an interconnecting header. Heat is extracted from or rejected to the ground through this buried pipe grid that …
