  • 68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan A
    Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Professer C. Greig Crysler Professor Richard Walker Summer 2015 Sagan Copyright page Sagan Abstract Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Political protest is an increasingly frequent occurrence in urban public space. During times of protest, the use of urban space transforms according to special regulatory circumstances and dictates. The reorganization of economic relationships under neoliberalism carries with it changes in the regulation of urban space. Environmental design is part of the toolkit of protest control. Existing literature on the interrelation of protest, policing, and urban space can be broken down into four general categories: radical politics, criminological, technocratic, and technical- professional. Each of these bodies of literature problematizes core ideas of crowds, space, and protest differently. This leads to entirely different philosophical and methodological approaches to protests from different parties and agencies. This paper approaches protest, policing, and urban space using a critical-theoretical methodology coupled with person-environment relations methods. This paper examines political protest at American Presidential National Conventions. Using genealogical-historical analysis and discourse analysis, this paper examines two historical protest event-sites to develop baselines for comparison: Chicago 1968 and Dallas 1984. Two contemporary protest event-sites are examined using direct observation and discourse analysis: Denver 2008 and St.

  • Preliminary Bedrock Geologic Map of the Chittenden Quadrangle Rutland County, Vermont
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Preliminary Bedrock Geologic Map of the Chittenden Quadrangle Rutland County, Vermont By Nicholas M. Ratcliffe U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 97-703 1997 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards nor with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. INTRODUCTION The bedrock of the Chittenden quadrangle consists of Middle Proterozoic through Cambrian metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks that lie along the western flank of the Green Mountain massif in south-central Vermont. The Green Mountain massif is cored by highly deformed and extensively retrograded schists and schistose gneisses derived from once high-grade gneisses that were intruded and originally metamorphosed during the Grenville orogeny prior to about 950 Ma. Upper Proterozoic through Cambrian metaclastic rocks, referred to as the western cover sequence, form a cover sequence that was deposited unconformably on the older schists and gneisses. The upper part of the cover sequence consists of marine-shelf carbonate rocks of the Vermont Valley sequence that developed on the stable Atlantic-type continental margin prior to the deformation in the Taconian orogeny during the Middle to Upper Ordovician. In the Taconian orogeny, rocks of this area were thrust faulted and metamorphosed to biotite grade. The basement rocks were altered by low-grade remetamorphism and hydration to such an extent that the Grenvillian mineral assemblages, schistosity, and gneissosity are presently barely recognizable.

  • Dorset Village Plan
    Revitalizing Southern Vermont’s Villages Dorset, Vermont August 2013 Dorset Revitalization Planning Dorset VT Dorset is a town in Bennington County, Vermont, United States. Dorset is famous for being the location of Cephas Kent's Inn, where four meetings of the Convention that signed the Dorset Accords led to the independent Vermont Republic, and future statehood. Dorset is home to America's oldest marble quarry and is the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W. East Dorset is the setting of the Bill Wilson House and the Griffith Library. The East Dorset marble quarry was established by Bill W's great grandfather and stayed in the family for 3 generations. Marble from these quarries provided stone for the New York Public Library Main Branch building in New York City The Town of Dorset has an area of 29,463 acres, or 46.04 square miles, made up of many types of land and waterways: flat valley land, swamps, rolling hills, steep mountains, streams and rivers. 14,228 acres contain slopes in excess of 20%, and 2,880 acres have elevations above 2500 feet. The physiography of the Town may be described as two roughly north-south valleys, which contain most of Dorset's development, together with parts of three north-south mountainous areas, which define the valleys. The eastern edge of the Town runs along the western slope of the Green Mountains. The southwestern corner of the Town occupies the northeastern slope of Mother Myrick Mountain, in the Taconic Mountain Range. Thrusting into Dorset from the north is a mountainous area, also part of the Taconic Range, extending south from Dorset Mountain, whose summit, close to the northern town line, is over 3800 feet above sea level.
