Dulles Underground Station
Why has transportation architecture become a lost thought when there are so many possibilities to reach people with well thought out design? Shouldn't we as designers want to enhance the places were most people go, not just were few choose to visit. Shouldn't architecture be for the general public …

Design of spacecraft for exploration of the Moon and Mars
… generated are intended to operate within the transportation architecture developed during this project. Therefore, this thesis serves as a vehicle-level design exercise. Four vehicle architecture options are synthesized by combining system concepts in a logical fashion. These four options are …

Integrated transportation system design optimization
Traditionally, the design of a transportation system has focused on either the vehicle design or the network flow, assuming the other as given. However, to define a system level architecture for a transportation system, it is advantageous to expand the system boundary during the design process to …

Human-centered systems analysis of mixed equipage in ocean air traffic control
… CNS systems are integrated into oceanic air transportation architecture, the controller will have to manage the current low frequency surveillance and communication paths in parallel with future enhanced CNS. The cognitive effects of the mixed equipage environment were studied through field …

Dynamic network modeling for spaceflight logistics with time-expanded networks
… sequences in order to find an optimal space transportation architecture considering its technology trades over time. The proposed methodology is inspired by terrestrial logistics analysis techniques based on linear programming network optimization. A new model with a generalized …

Technology and architecture : informing investment decisions for the future of human space exploration
NASA's detailed programmatic goals, system architectures, and mission designs for future human spaceflight beyond Earth orbit remain unspecified. Given this uncertainty, it is not clear exactly which technologies are necessary for enabling future exploration. The process of establishing technology …

High speed suburbanism: Developing transit infrastructures in a disconnected metropolis
The current interest in developing mobility alternatives such as high-speed rail and commuter rail systems in our auto dominated American regions poses new possibilities to reimagine our sprawling, disconnected, suburban landscapes. Since the patterns of development that automobile infrastructures …

[D]urbanism: The revelation of repressed transgression
Detroit lays stunned as the product of abusive parenting. The loyal workhorse of the American Dream wallows in the dedicated obsolescence of an economic monoculture and fiends for the opiate of capitalism. Yet despite the neglect, a new vitality is brewing amongst the shadows of post-fordist …

On the social reception of material form and space, or, the SUV in the melee
This thesis explores social representations in architecture that have been objectified by various discourses on space and human activity. Using the sport-utility vehicle (SUV) as a multifaceted object in which these representations are seen, the possibility that a single material environment can …
