Ballweg, MArch (Member) date iii AFIT/GEM/ENV/06M-06 Abstract United States (U.S.) outpost building after World War II tended to neglect local design in favor of imported American style and at the expense of efficiency and local acceptance (Gillem, 2005: 70). The numerous expeditionary installations established throughout the Middle East in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) offer a clean slate for transition to a policy that favors sustainable design as well as host nation acceptance through the use of indigenous architecture. By investigating desert indigenous architecture, low-tech design elements could be rediscovered and combined with modern technology to build new, environmentally-responsible buildings that are identifiable by the local culture. The potential of indigenous architecture was investigated by comparing its energy performance, force protection and fire safety characteristics, and ease of procurement to the same criteria for a standard prefabricated metal building. The core of the research was a literature review of current Department of Defense (DoD) construction standards and an examination of past and present examples of desert architecture including the Middle East and the southwestern U.S. Architectural drawings for a typical administration facility were created to show how traditional building materials and methods could be employed to match or exceed current standards. Results indicated that indigenous design offers advantages in energy performance and force protection, but initial cost and procurement time are not favorable. Therefore, selection of the optimum building construction technique depends on decision-maker values. iv Table of Contents Page Abstract ......................................................................................................................iv Table of Contents .........................................................................................................v List of Figures ............................................................................................................ vii List of Tables ...............................................................................................................x I.

Abstract Sommer, Caitlin Ariel, M.A. (Anthropology Department) Title: Animacy, Symbolism, and Feathers from Mantle’s Cave, Colorado Thesis directed by Dr. Stephen H. Lekson Rediscovered in the 1930s by the Mantle family, Mantle’s Cave contained excellently preserved feather bundles, a feather headdress, moccasins, a deer-scalp headdress, baskets, stone tools, and other perishable goods. From the start of excavations, Mantle’s Cave appeared to display influences from both Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples, leading Burgh and Scoggin to determine that the cave was used by Fremont people displaying traits heavily influenced by Basketmaker peoples. Researchers have analyzed the baskets, cordage, and feather headdress in the hopes of obtaining both radiocarbon dates and clues as to which culture group used Mantle’s Cave. This thesis attempts to derive the cultural influence of the artifacts from Mantle’s Cave by analyzing the feathers.

    Anno 1778 m # # PHILLIPS ACADEMY # # # OLIVER-WENDELL- HOLMES # # # LIBRARY # # # # Lulie Anderson Fuess Fund The discovery and recording of the “vernacular” architec¬ ture of the Americas was a unique adventure. There were no guide books. Sibyl Moholy-Nagy’s search involved some 15,000 miles of travel between the St. Lawrence River and the Antilles by every conceivable means of transportation. Here in this handsome volume, illustrated with 105 photo¬ graphs and 21 drawings, are some of the amazing examples of architecture—from 1600 on—to be found in the Americas.

  • A Study of Vernacular Architecture and Indigenous Construction Techniques of the Kullu Region, Himachal Pradesh
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 A study of vernacular architecture and indigenous construction techniques of the Kullu Region, Himachal Pradesh Manoj Panwar#1, Sandeep Sharma2 1 D. C. R. University of Science & Technology, Murthal, India 131001 2 National Institute of Technology Hamirpur, Hamirpur, India 177005 Abstract: The architecture of a place depends on the climate, geography, resource availability, material and knowledge of construction techniques, geography, building rules and regulations, socio-economic conditions, household characteristics, culture, infrastructure availability, and other natural forces. The hilly regions remain less connected to outside regions, both in physical and information linkages. The exchange of materials and information about the construction techniques has endangered the usage of indigenous material and construction techniques for the development of climate-responsive architecture. The authors thoroughly investigated the local materials and contemporary construction techniques of the Kullu region, Himachal Pradesh. Vernacular buildings constructed by using indigenous materials and construction techniques are more responsive to their geo-climatic conditions. The lessons of traditional wisdom in building construction can be a very powerful tool for sustainable development. The paper concludes with the plausible policy required for the preservation of indigenous construction techniques for sustainable development. Keywords: Vernacular Architecture; Indigenous Construction Techniques; Hilly Region; Sustainable Development. Note: This paper is a revised and expanded version of a paper entitled ‘study of vernacular architecture and indigenous construction techniques of the Kullu Region, Himachal Pradesh’ presented at International Conference on Advances in Construction Materials and Structures (ACMS-2018) organised by Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India [March 7-8, 2018].

  • Inalienable Interiors : Consumerism and Anthropology, 1890 to 1920
    INALIENABLE INTERIORS: CONSUMERISM AND ANTHROPOLOGY, 1890 TO 1920 By Aaron Wayne McCullough A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of American Studies—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT INALIENABLE INTERIORS: CONSUMERISM AND ANTHROPOLOGY, 1890 TO 1920 By Aaron Wayne McCullough In this dissertation, I examine how and why anthropology became a significant discourse through which consumers, taste makers, and authors attempted to understand and navigate the consumer marketplace of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century United States. Anthropology, in its focus on “primitive” material cultures, perceived primitive objects as unconscious and unchanging expressions of identities defined by culture, race, or natural physiography. In a marketplace of alienable commodities, of objects circulating not only from producer to consumer, but also within and across the boundaries of identities, anthropology allowed consumers a discourse through which they could understand the objects of others; and through which they could imagine, identify, or idealize objects that expressed their own racial, national, class, or cultural identity. I call the consumer that emerged from this discourse of consumption, borrowing from historian James Clifford, an ethnographic consumer: an anthropologically aware, rational, consumer self, capable of navigating a cosmopolitan marketplace by perceiving and idealizing objects as cultural. I trace this figure, a version of Walter Benjamin’s flâneur,

  • 3.1.7 Architectural and Physical Characteristics of Indigenous Limas’ Houses in South Sumatra
    A. Indigenous Architecture as Basic Architectural Design 3.1.7 ARCHITECTURAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIGENOUS LIMAS’ HOUSES IN SOUTH SUMATRA Ari Siswanto (1),Azizah Salim Binti Syed Salim (2),Nur Dalilah Dahlan (3),Ahmad Hariza (4) (1) Ph.D. Student Universiti Putra Malaysia from University of Sriwijaya, Indonesia [email protected] (2) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Universiti Putra Malaysia (3) Dr. Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT The architecture of Limas traditional house in South Sumatra is influenced by culture and environment. Limas house, differing heights of the floors, divided into 3 parts which are functioning as follows front, middle and rear. Veranda is in the front for the guests and the sons. The middle part as a centre of the house which has highest levels is for the parents and the brides or for important guests, while the rear part is for the daughters and kitchen. The way of life and the way they use their houses influence the layout, ornament and size. Culture has a huge effect on the interior and exterior of Limas house, often beautify buildings in relation to local traditions and way of life. Limas house in tropical climates is constructed by wooden materials. It allows not only significant cross- ventilation through openings of the windows and but also useful up lift swing doors and pagar tenggalung. The houses on stilts mostly built along the riverbanks and they facing the water. Traditional Limas house is perfect example of sustainability; it demonstrates good environmental adaptation and will not threaten its environmental. Indigenous Limas’ houses meet the cultural aspects and environmental comfort in local setting.
