Ch ter Sprague, Chairman Departmental Committee for Graduate Students Copyright 1978, Lisa Heschong RMte6 MAY 16 1978 Abstract THERMAL DELIGHT IN ARCHITECTURE Lisa Heschong Submitted to the Department of Architecture on February 14, 1978 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture. This thesis examines the broad range of influences that thermal qualities have on architectural space and peoples' response to it. It begins with the observation that proper thermal conditions are necessary for all life forms, and examines the various strategies used by plants and animals to survive in spite of adverse thermal conditions. Human beings have available to them the widest range of thermal strategies. These include the skillful use of building technologies to create favorable microclimates, and the use of ar- tificial power to maintain a comfortable thermal environment. Survival strategies and the provision of thermal comfort are only the most basic levels of our relationship to the thermal en- vironment. Our experience of the world is through our senses, in- cluding the thermal sense. Many examples demonstrate the relation- ship of the thermal sense to the other senses. The more sensory input we experience, and the more varied the contrasts, the richer is the experience and its associated feelings of delight.

  • Bosnian Muslim Reformists Between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina
    Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.

  • Portrait of Cedar Rapids
    Portrait of Cedar Rapids One of the oldest mosques in America, and the first Muslim cemetery in the U.S., can be found in a surprising place: Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cedar Rapids is one of the least ethnically diverse cities in the U.S.,1 and Iowa, a largely agricultural state, has more cows than people.2 Here, the “heartland” of America, is home to five generations of Muslim Americans. In the late 1800s, immigrants from Syria and Lebanon made their way across the U.S. Their main business was selling goods to the farmers as pacK-peddlers; they later established small stores, and many settled in Cedar Rapids. These early Syrian-Lebanese immigrants, both Christian and Muslim, slowly grew in number; once they began having families, they recognized the need for places of worship in Cedar Rapids. The earlyPost Muslim and Christian immigrant families were close-knit and supportive of each other: after the completion of St. George’s Orthodox Church, the Muslim community purchased a cross for the new building; shortly after, the two communities would celebrate the establishment of the mosque in 1934. Today, the “Mother Mosque of America” is on the National Register of Historic Places. The small, simple structure is an unassuming landmark, surrounded by a chain linK fence and tucKedOr into a modest neighborhood of Cedar Rapids. The green awning, dome, and crescent announce its presence as a mosque, yet the one-story building evokes a prairie schoolhouse. Over the years, the building went by many different names: in the early days, some referred to it as the nadi (“club” in Arabic),“The Rose of Fraternity Lodge,” and “The Moslem Temple”; later, it was Known as “The Islamic Center.”3 The community sold the building in the 1970s in order to build a new center; the original structure later fell into disrepair and was abandoned.

  • The Year of the River Incredible Damage
    THE YEAR OF THE RIVER Long before the floodwaters arrived, Cedar Rapids had designated 2008 as “The Year of the River” to celebrate the city’s connection to the Cedar River. The slogan also commemorated the 100th anniversary of the city’s purchase of May’s Island, a downtown, midchannel slice of land about the size and shape of a battleship. But the phrase quickly took on a new meaning after the river crested at over 31 feet above flood stage — and more than 11 feet above the previous record of 19.66 feet set National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. in 1961. About 60 percent of Iowa’s total 2008 flood damage occurred in Cedar Rapids.

Fine, Co-Chair Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Mary Kelley Professor Rudi Lindner Barbara Reeves-Ellington, University of Oxford © Nevila Pahumi 2016 For my family ii Acknowledgements This project has come to life thanks to the support of people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now the time and my great pleasure to acknowledge each of them and their efforts here. My long-time advisor John Fine set me on this path. John’s recovery, ten years ago, was instrumental in directing my plans for doctoral study. My parents, like many well-intended first generation immigrants before and after them, wanted me to become a different kind of doctor. Indeed, I made a now-broken promise to my father that I would follow in my mother’s footsteps, and study medicine. But then, I was his daughter, and like him, I followed my own dream. When made, the choice was not easy. But I will always be grateful to John for the years of unmatched guidance and support. In graduate school, I had the great fortune to study with outstanding teacher-scholars. It is my committee members whom I thank first and foremost: Pamela Ballinger, John Fine, Rudi Lindner, Müge Göcek, Mary Kelley, and Barbara Reeves-Ellington.

  • Coming of Age in Multiracial America: South Asian Political Incorporation
    Coming of Age in Multiracial America: South Asian Political Incorporation Sayu V. Bhojwani Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Sayu V. Bhojwani All rights reserved ABSTRACT Coming of Age in Multiracial America: South Asian Political Incorporation Sayu Bhojwani America has long been a nation of immigrants, but never before has it been as multiracial as it is today. This diversity coincides with an evolving political landscape, in which the role of political parties is declining, and nonprofits are increasingly more relevant in immigrant mobilization. In this multiracial and dynamic political arena, racial and ethnic groups are learning both how to build political power and how to negotiate for power across racial and ethnic lines. Among the many groups engaged in this process of political incorporation are South Asians, and this research looks at their political incorporation through a case study of New York City using elite interviews of nonprofit leaders, elected officials and political candidates. Often portrayed as a model minority, South Asians are perceived as well- integrated into American life. This study sought to assess whether in fact this perception applies to political incorporation, through the exploration of these questions: (1) In what ways do South Asians participate in electoral and non-electoral activities? What does their participation or nonparticipation indicate
