Item Open Access A place for post-industrial learning in harlem, manhattan, new york: An adaptive resue of an abandoned p.s. 90 as a multi-use community center(1997) Becher, Paul Thomas; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access A seafarer's college(1996) Lemke, Christopher Philip; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Anchors: time, change and memory in the contemporary city(2010) Lamers, Matt; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Architecture in translation(2008) Antalikova, Livia; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Architecture: an interface of digital/social connectivity(2007) Polanski, Darren; Livesey, GrahamThis MDP examines the means by which a connection can be formed between virtual spaces and reality through architecture. It investigates the effects mobile technology has on spatial design, and envisages how the public spaces of cultural centre in Calgary could be infused with situated technologies. Traditional typologies of cultural , commercial and community space are confronted with spatial transformations caused by continuous connectivity to virtual communities and networks of information. Using contemporary notions of digital interactivity, a framework is generated to deal with ideas of architecture as an interface to virtual space. This framework discusses how the utilization of Ubiquitous Computing through interactive surfaces, bits & atoms, and ambient media can enhance the experiential qualities of the architecture, without technology becoming invasive or distracting from the purpose of the architecture.Item Open Access City of the dead: of architecture, artifact and the human body(1996) Marika, James P. W.; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Co-construction: the evolving relationship between architecture, science, and culture(2004) van Hemert, John; Livesey, Graham; Langford, Cooper H.Item Open Access Commodified space(2006) Hackett, Graeme; Livesey, GrahamThis thesis is a product of examining contemporary forms of public space in North America in relation to Henri Lefebvre's production triads. Through the lens of spatial production, it becomes evident that public space has been removed from its previous role of social instigator and has instead been absorbed into the private realm where specific sets of ideals can be re-enforced through laws associated with private ownership of property. Private ownership of public space has come to establish a hierarchical and exclusive public realm. In an ownership model physical space or property becomes a commodity within itself, in which, acts believed to be detrimental become banned, disconnecting the once inclusive public realm. In order to reinvigorate public space it became necessary to look at a form of site analysis that took into account the personal uses of individuals throughout an area. The form of analysis used in Inglewood was the creation of narratives from leftover information and public interactions. Recognizing the unique social interactions that imbue space with meaning it became possible to re-work the Inglewood narratives into a design process that was inclusive to all types of interaction found. By examining a non-commodifted realm, in which the traces of interactions are layered throughout the area, it becomes possible to generate programmatic extensions that act in an inclusive fashion re-constructing the past diversity of the public realm.Item Open Access Convergence house: evolving toward function(2009) Bremner, Kaz; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Dance traces reconfigured: exploring lightness and crossover in architecture (two bodies for dance)(1997) Bornstein, Sarah C.; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Design Studio Matrix: Supporting the Decision-Making Process as Part of a Reflective Practice(2021-04) Abegglen, Sandra; Dall'Ara, Enrica; Livesey, Graham; Neuhaus, Fabian; Taylor, Mary-EllenDesign is described as a process of making decisions based on reflection in and on action (Schön, 1983). This report outlines the findings of the Design Studio Matrix: Supporting the Decision-Making Process as Part of a Reflective Practice research project, and provides recommendations for both future research and teaching. The Design Studio Matrix was funded by the grants program of the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary. The principal grant holder was Dr. Fabian Neuhaus, Associate Professor at the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, University of Calgary. The project was carried out at the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, University of Calgary, with a focus on three Masters design studio courses: the EVDS 620 Urban Design Studio/EVDA 782.01 Senior Architecture Design Studio course in fall 2019, the EVDP 644 B02 Advanced Professional Planning Studio course in winter 2020 and the EVDP 616 Planning course in fall 2020. The project ran for two years, from spring 2019 to Spring 2021. Its aim was to analyze design studio pedagogy and to further develop the Design Studio Matrix (DSM), a teaching and learning tool that was developed by Dr. Graham Livesey, Dr. Enrica Dall’Ara and Dr. Fabian Neuhaus. The hypothesis was that the DSM would help shift the focus of design education away from the product towards the process and the reflection thereof. The research was led by Sandra Abegglen and adopted a mixed or multi method approach consisting of focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, in-class observations and questionnaires. In addition, material created by the students such as diagrams and survey data were analyzed. Ethical approval for the research was sought and granted by the University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Ethics Board in August 2019. A total of 100 students have worked with the DSM to date. Of those, 53 students were registered for one of the courses included in this study, with 38 students fully participating in the research and 3 students partially participating. Participation in the research project was voluntary, with students being able to opt in or out of all, or particular research elements.Item Open Access Earthwork: a garden of reversals(1994) Gill, Kamni J.; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Evolutive housing in the suburb: an achievable alternative(2000) Chase, David S.; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Field gallery(2012) Fritz, Tyler James; Livesey, GrahamThe following Master's Degree Project explores design responses that complement the innate dynamism of the urban condition by 'acilitating indeterminate futures and the emergence of m1cropolitical events. Particular attention is given to the immixing of social capital. Operative analytical and gener-ative tools are derived from Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattar1's theories of assemblage, desire & becoming and the aesthet1c/performative model of plastic dynamism in the Futurist arts. The target site, Railtown Par-k, Edmonton, Alberta (pedestrian green space corridor: I IO Street NW spanning Jasper avenue to I 04 avenue) is programmatically developed as a Field Gallery: the site of-and-for the exhibition of art and divergent '1elds by way of environmental variation and the registration of innate tr-ansitory effects including the productive occupation, movement and interaction of people. Developed design responses consist of variable spatial, material and performative definitions, including a material prototype for a performative semi-permeable membrane.Item Open Access Home is where the fax is: living and working within the home(1995) Hutchinson, Keesa Erin; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Identity through architecture: a north American headquarters and design facility for bang and olufsen(2001) Zyla, Chad Allan; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Inbetween: the configuration of a new metropolitan infill(2006) Hood, Kristopher Jayson; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Manufacturing speed: A factory for the design of the formula one race car(1999) Dow, Kirsten T.; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Memory: The story of a house(1998) Spagnolo, Vincent; Livesey, GrahamItem Open Access Mnemonic architecture: intervening in a city of forgetting(2010) Swift, Erin Elizabeth; Livesey, Graham
