Second Faculty Member- Frank Russell, A.I.A. Abstract It is a planner’s role to not only address the problems of a city, but to try to understand the city and its many components. Addressing these problems requires an in-depth awareness of the neighborhoods, communities and other cultural elements, which make up the city. Therefore, in its general sense, the purpose of this thesis is to understand a community setting in a deeper, more holistic fashion. This was completed though comparing the Villages of Mariemont and Fairfax in Ohio. There were several reasons as to why the Villages of Mariemont and Fairfax were chosen for this study, the overall theme being the differences present between the two communities, even though they reside in the same region. Thus, another purpose behind the study is to determine and analyze the nuances of the differences and thoroughly investigate the relationships present within the communities. To gain a deeper understanding of the two communities, Henri Lefebvre’s Triad of space is used to examine the mental (conceived), physical (perceived) and social (lived) facets that exist within a community space. Also, a framework for discovering both the perceived and lived layers were developed through synthesizing methods of observation and analysis as described by Kevin Lynch, Grady Clay, and Allen Jacobs. Through analyzing the relationships present in the conceived, perceived and lives layers of space, as well as the manner in which the layers of space interrelate, community themes and profiles are discovered and explored within each of the communities studied.

Addressing these problems requires an in-depth awareness of the neighborhoods, communities and other cultural elements, which make up the city. From a design point of view, it is easy for people to look at cities with a superficial eye, seeing things as they appear on the surface without understanding everything that went into the making of a community. While first impressions can be important, they do not necessarily tell the whole story when it comes to fully comprehending a community. Ali Madanipour stated in his articles, Ambiguities of Urban Design, that a major misconception is to think of urban design as just a study of the visuals of a community. He then stated “The way out of this confusion is to realize that visual qualities are but one element among the spatial qualities of the built environment” (Madanipour 1982, 370). Rossi indicated in his book, Architecture of the City, that if we do not study all of the urban artifacts “we come up with theories that are artificial” (Rossi.1982, 372). Therefore, in its most general sense, the purpose of this thesis is to understand a community setting in
