  • Open Thesis-Alireza Arabshahi.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Architecture FROM SYMBIOSIS TO INTEGRITY IMPROVING THE CONNECTIVITY OF BEAVER STADIUM TO THE UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS OF PENN STATE UNIVERSITY A Thesis in Architecture by Alireza Arabshahi © 2014 Alireza Arabshahi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture December 2014 ii The thesis of Alireza Arabshahi was reviewed and approved * by the following: Daniel Willis Professor of Architecture Thesis Advisor Scott Wing Associate Professor of Architecture Katsuhiko Muramoto Associate Professor of Architecture Ute Poerschke Professor of Architecture Architecture Graduate Program Chair * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract In 1959 the initial structure of the Beaver Stadium was disassembled and re-erected in its current location. Thanks to the abundance of open space adjacent to the stadium, the subsequent athletic structures were constructed on East Campus. However, Rec Hall that is one of the main athletic structures of the campus is still located on West Campus. The distance between the two structures, as well as the typology of spaces between them – to say, academic and residential buildings close to the Rec Hall and vast open parking spaces surrounding Beaver Stadium – further intensify the detachment of Rec Hall from the athletic department’s zone. My thesis is a design proposal for improving the connectivity of the stadium to the campus context. A set of architectural strategies are identified and their validity is explored via the analysis of the design approaches taken for addressing similar issue in five collegiate on-campus stadiums. iv Table of Contents List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………….……ix List of Tables……………………………………………………………………………………..xiii Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………..xiv Chapter 1………………………………………………………………………………….……….1 1.1.
