Two Autonomous Spatial Systems and Their Juxtaposition
This thesis explores the idea of two autonomous spatial systems and their interaction: a syntactic grid and a pure formal volume. The juxtaposition of these two elements allows for insight into and exploration of their autonomous ordering potentialities, as well as the potential relationships or …

An analysis of spatial development paradigm for enhancing regional integration within national and it’s supporting spatial systems in Africa
The global aim of this research is to postulate a spatial development paradigm for regional integration in developing countries - more specifically, the research prospects to conceptualize form-based spatial planning theory for Africa. This was considered necessary on two grounds: first, the need …

Qualitative representation and reasoning for spatial and spatio-temporal systems
… is an in-depth study in the area of Qualitative Spatial Representation and Reasoning. The study is motivated by the potential advantages to be gained from the utilisation of qualitative representation and reasoning techniques in large spatial systems. Qualitative handling of spatial objects and …

Optimization and analysis of doubly-curved Kirigami space frames
… sheet of metal into a three-dimensional spatial frame. Previous iterations of this design were developed by Emily Baker of the University of Arkansas, mainly by making scaled models. Recently a frame assembly of Spin-Valence units was analyzed experimentally and computationally to …

Diversity in evolving systems : scaling and dynamics of genealogical trees
… is a fundamental property of all evolving systems. This thesis examines spatial and temporal patterns of diversity. The systems I will study consist of a population of individuals, each with a potentially unique state, together with a dynamics consisting of copying or reproduction of …

The living skyscraper : mapping the vertical neighborhood
… technological innovations. As it evolved, systems matured to provide comfort and safety while economic efficiency was always prioritized. The skyscraper and its systems reached its evolutionary plateau in the 1950s when mechanized systems transformed the building type into air-tight …

A Specific Elsewhere: Locating Masculinity in Jack Kerouac's On The Road
… to the postwar social ideal, an exchange in spatial systems that mobilised him beyond the confines of suburban conformity to experience the more marginalised aspects of American society. This dissertation offers an interpretative exploration of the ways in which Kerouac’s chronicling of his …

Extensions of systems : methods for structure and form in Silverton, Colorado
An understanding of spatial structural systems in an environment is seen as a valuable method for observation and projection in design. This thesis makes use of explicit systems of form and method by which future development and expansion would provide identity and continuity for the site. The …

Various forms of colonialism : the social and spatial reorganisation of the Brao in southern Laos and northeastern Cambodia
… engages with processes of social and spatial organisation of the Brao, a Mon-Khmer language-speaking ethnic group whose approximately 60,000 members reside mainly in the provinces of Attapeu and Champasak, in the southern-most part of Laos; and Ratanakiri and Stung Treng, in the …

Tracking Disaster Dynamics for Urban Resilience: Human-Mobility and Semantic Perspectives
… disasters on interactive human-environment systems as well as the dynamic process of resilience, including human mobility, spatial networks, and coupled mobility and sentiment perspectives. In the first, human-mobility perspective, I examine the nuanced impact of a severe winter storm on …

Spatial reuse in TDMA wireless networks
In this thesis we investigate the performance of spatial reuse in wireless networks. More specifically, we investigate the performance of location-based spatial reuse built upon the identification of links in the network that form Collision-Free Sets (CFSs). We develop algorithms that efficiently …
