  • A Historical Bibliography of Commercial Architecture in the United States
    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE UNITED STATES Compiled by Richard Longstreth, 2002; last revised 7 May 2019 I have focused on historical accounts giving substantive coverage of the commercial building types that traditionally distinguish city and town centers, outlying business districts, and roadside development. These types include financial institutions, hotels and motels, office buildings, restaurants, retail and wholesale facilities, and theaters. Buildings devoted primarily to manufacturing and other forms of production, transportation, and storage are not included. Citations of writings devoted to the work of an architect or firm and to the buildings of a community are limited to a few of the most important relative to this topic. For purposes of convenience, listings are divided into the following categories: Banks; Hotels-Motels; Office Buildings; Restaurants; Taverns, etc.; Retail and Wholesale Buildings; Roadside Buildings, Miscellaneous; Theaters; Architecture and Place; Urbanism; Architects; Materials-Technology; and Miscellaneous. Most accounts are scholarly in nature, but I have included some popular accounts that are particularly rich in the historical material presented. Any additions or corrections are welcome and will be included in updated editions of this bibliography. Please send them to me at [email protected].

Committee Chair signature: Skywalks as Heritage: Exploring Alternatives for the Cincinnati Skywalk System A thesis submitted to Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF COMMUNITY PLANNING School of Planning College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning August 2009 By SILVIA GUGU Bachelor of Urban Design, Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Design, Bucharest Thesis Committee: Chair: MAHYAR AREFI, Ph. D. Faculty Member: FRANK RUSSELL, AIA. Abstract Skywalks are a unique typology of second level covered pedestrian networks linking parking and downtown destinations. They were implemented throughout North American cities to attract pedestrians and sustain retail in central business districts. The relative rarity of skywalk systems (Robertson 1994), their relevance to the particularities of American urban design history (Fruin 1971; Robertson 1994) and their position at the intersection of major concerns of the 20th century American city: traffic (Fruin 1971; Robertson 1994), downtown revitalization (Robertson 1994), and identity (McMorough 2001) provided the departure point for examining skywalks as 20th Century heritage. As the viability of skywalks is questioned, this paper employs a toolkit based on the theory and values of heritage preservation to evaluate skywalks as built heritage.

  • Economics in Asset Management, the Highway Economic Requirements Sys- Tem–State Version, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis, and Bridge Manage- Ment
    Transportation Asset Management Case Studies1 Presented by ECONOMICS IN ASSET MANAGEMENT The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments Experience John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, connecting Covington, KY and Cincinnati, OH. FRONT COVER PHOTO: Interstate 471, Campbell County, KY. Note From the Associate Administrator The Federal Highway Administration’s Office of Asset Manage - ment is promoting a different way for transportation agencies to distribute their resources among alternative investment options. This new way of doing business, referred to as “Asset Management,” is a strategic approach to maximizing the ben- efits resulting from the expenditure of agency resources. For any transportation agency, the progression toward Asset Management will involve a myriad of activities. These endeav - ors will differ from State to State. For example, some agencies will pursue a data integration strategy in order to ensure comparable data for the evaluation of investment alterna - tives across asset classes. Others will move to deploy economic analysis tools to generate fact-based information for decision makers. Still others will want to integrate new inventory assessment methods into their decision-making processes. Much can be learned from those who are readying for or have transitioned their organizations to Asset Management. To spark the exchange of information, we are conducting a series of case studies focused on agencies that are leading the way. To date, we have established five tracks of emphasis regarding Asset Management: data integration, economics in Asset Management, the Highway Economic Requirements Sys- tem–State Version, life-cycle cost analysis, and bridge manage- ment. In upcoming years we will continue to add new State and local reports to each of the tracks and will create new tracks addressing additional facets of Asset Management such as change management and performance measurement.
