Investigations into the nature of architectural space
The concern of my work is primarily epistemological in nature. It is centered on the question of architectural space and the manner in which the framing of the definition of space affects architectural outcomes. This interest in definition dictated that the context of the work be theoretical as …

Daylight variability and contrast-driven architectural effect
… and ephemeral tool for expressing the quality of architectural space. As a compliment to more traditional avenues of daylighting research that assess performance in terms of quantitative illuminance goals and glare-based discomfort, my thesis defines light variability and contrast as a finely …

Settlement in an Amereican landscape : a place of work amidst a particle accelerator's transformation of the Texas prarie
This thesis considers the design of the research facility accompanying the Superconducting Super Collider, a large particle accelerator planned for central Texas. It will focus on this Pl'Qject as a form of human settlement in a prairie landscape altered by the presence of a technological …

Grid Structure and Space
From the ancient times, people used various kinds of natural material to build architecture. Because of the characteristics of natural materials, there are many limits to challenge the possibility of the architectural structure.After the fire of 1871 in Chicago, there were many incentives to …

Universe phenomenology as understood from gravitational theories with non-vanishing torsion: cosmology and black holes
… theories for which the natural choice of an affine connection is metric compatible while not being symmetric. More specifically, we study gravitational theories constructed on the Riemann-Cartan and Weitzenböck space-times. Firstly, we outline the mathematical notions needed to …
