Ch ter Sprague, Chairman Departmental Committee for Graduate Students Copyright 1978, Lisa Heschong RMte6 MAY 16 1978 Abstract THERMAL DELIGHT IN ARCHITECTURE Lisa Heschong Submitted to the Department of Architecture on February 14, 1978 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture. This thesis examines the broad range of influences that thermal qualities have on architectural space and peoples' response to it. It begins with the observation that proper thermal conditions are necessary for all life forms, and examines the various strategies used by plants and animals to survive in spite of adverse thermal conditions. Human beings have available to them the widest range of thermal strategies. These include the skillful use of building technologies to create favorable microclimates, and the use of ar- tificial power to maintain a comfortable thermal environment. Survival strategies and the provision of thermal comfort are only the most basic levels of our relationship to the thermal en- vironment. Our experience of the world is through our senses, in- cluding the thermal sense. Many examples demonstrate the relation- ship of the thermal sense to the other senses. The more sensory input we experience, and the more varied the contrasts, the richer is the experience and its associated feelings of delight.

  • Bosnian Muslim Reformists Between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina
    Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.

  • Lustron Corporation Steel Houses Peter Lobner, 15 June 2020 The
    Lustron Corporation steel houses Peter Lobner, 15 June 2020 The Lustron Corporation was formed in 1947 by Carl Strandlund, in collaboration with Chicago Vitreous Enamel Corporation, to mass- produce steel-constructed housing after World War II (WW II). The name “Lustron” refers to the factory-applied, lustrous, permanent porcelain enamel finish on all steel components. Lustron received an initial $15,500,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to mass-produce steel pre-fabricated houses in a former Curtiss-Wright aircraft factory in Columbus, OH, with more than 1,000,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space. After WW II, steel was a rationed material controlled by the Department of Commerce. There was only a limited allocation for “non-essential” use, such as manufacturing pre-fabricated homes, and Lustron received a large share of that allocation. The only 2-bedroom Lustron “Esquire” prototype model. It was built in Hinsdale, IL. Source: http://instanthouse.blogspot.com 1 Lustron homes were FHA approved and financed. The customer could choose from three production models, Winchester, Newport and Meadowbrook, which could be ordered with 2- or 3-bedroom floor plans. The Winchester could be ordered in “Standard” or “Deluxe” finish. Representative Lustron floor plans. Source: Screenshot from video, “The History of the Lustron House,” Raleigh Historic Development Commission All houses came standard with porcelain enamel-coated steel exterior panels available in four colors: surf blue, maize yellow, desert tan, and dove gray. The houses also had an enamel-coated steel shingle roof, enamel-coated steel interior wall panels most often in a standard light grey color, metal ceiling tiles, interior pocket doors, metal cabinets, and service and storage areas.

  • Portrait of Cedar Rapids
    Portrait of Cedar Rapids One of the oldest mosques in America, and the first Muslim cemetery in the U.S., can be found in a surprising place: Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cedar Rapids is one of the least ethnically diverse cities in the U.S.,1 and Iowa, a largely agricultural state, has more cows than people.2 Here, the “heartland” of America, is home to five generations of Muslim Americans. In the late 1800s, immigrants from Syria and Lebanon made their way across the U.S. Their main business was selling goods to the farmers as pacK-peddlers; they later established small stores, and many settled in Cedar Rapids. These early Syrian-Lebanese immigrants, both Christian and Muslim, slowly grew in number; once they began having families, they recognized the need for places of worship in Cedar Rapids. The earlyPost Muslim and Christian immigrant families were close-knit and supportive of each other: after the completion of St. George’s Orthodox Church, the Muslim community purchased a cross for the new building; shortly after, the two communities would celebrate the establishment of the mosque in 1934. Today, the “Mother Mosque of America” is on the National Register of Historic Places. The small, simple structure is an unassuming landmark, surrounded by a chain linK fence and tucKedOr into a modest neighborhood of Cedar Rapids. The green awning, dome, and crescent announce its presence as a mosque, yet the one-story building evokes a prairie schoolhouse. Over the years, the building went by many different names: in the early days, some referred to it as the nadi (“club” in Arabic),“The Rose of Fraternity Lodge,” and “The Moslem Temple”; later, it was Known as “The Islamic Center.”3 The community sold the building in the 1970s in order to build a new center; the original structure later fell into disrepair and was abandoned.
