    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date:___________________ I, _________________________________________________________, hereby submit this work as part of the requirements for the degree of: in: It is entitled: This work and its defense approved by: Chair: _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ The Creation of Hybrid Space Architecture 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 Architecture in the School of Architecture and Interior Design (SAID) of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) April 26, 2006 by: Gregory W. Eckert B.S. Architecture, University of Cincinnati, 2004 Committee chairs: Barry Stedman, PhD Michael McInturf Abstract: Today, people use the computer as part of their daily lives, whether it is at work, home, or in the palm of their hands. The increased popularity of online access has changed society in the areas of communication, commerce, research, and entertainment. As society changes, architecture will change with it. The retail industry is ready to undergo a transformation. Thus, this thesis explores the integration of virtual and physical environments to achieve a unique way of retailing that provides the customer with an enhanced experience, convenient service, and personalized stores. Communication among customers includes access to a virtual world, which allows them to interact with distant locations and individuals whether in the main physical store, virtually from a home computer, or from a branch location. Technology gives the retailer the ability to change quickly, access a larger customer base, and personalize advertising to individuals. Accordingly, it is hypothesized that the new retail environment will be a collection of inter-connected retail communities, both real and virtual, interacting in ways previously believed to be science fiction.

This is in response to the City of San Diego’s comment requesting that the Historic Property Survey Report identify the historic El Camino Real Mission Bells and discuss their importance and any project impacts on the bells. Construction of the El Camino Real As the nineteenth century came to a close, American industrial expansion generated opportunities for certain economic classes to enjoy a leisure lifestyle. Earlier in the century American presidents declared certain federal lands to be national assets, setting them aside as national reservations (Hot Springs, Arkansas), or national parks (Yellowstone 1872, which was modeled on California’s Yosemite State Park). By the last decade of the century, four more national parks had been established (Sequoia, General Grant, and Yosemite in 1890, and Mount Rainier in 1899). Improved access to these lands by way of rail lines, and cross-country tickets, and outfitters supplying pack trains with all necessary supplies meant that these destinations were comfortably approached by the middle and upper classes. Travelers returned with stories of fantastic vistas, and the photographs to illustrate them, filtered through society, creating additional desire by other people to visit. At the same time numerous cities and counties subscribed to illustrative books written by professionals to boost the advantages of their jurisdiction to the outside world.

  • Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park

    Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park

    Chapter 19 HISTORY OF THE CASA DEL PRADO IN BALBOA PARK Of buildings remaining from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, exhibit buildings north of El Prado in the agricultural section survived for many years. They were eventually absorbed by the San Diego Zoo. Buildings south of El Prado were gone by 1933, except for the New Mexico and Kansas Buildings. These survive today as the Balboa Park Club and the House of Italy. This left intact the Spanish-Colonial complex along El Prado, the main east-west avenue that separated north from south sections The Sacramento Valley Building, at the head of the Plaza de Panama in the approximate center of El Prado, was demolished in 1923 to make way for the Fine Arts Gallery. The Southern California Counties Building burned down in 1925. The San Joaquin Valley and the Kern-Tulare Counties Building, on the promenade south of the Plaza de Panama, were torn down in 1933. When the Science and Education and Home Economy buildings were razed in 1962, the only 1915 Exposition buildings on El Prado were the California Building and its annexes, the House of Charm, the House of Hospitality, the Botanical Building, the Electric Building, and the Food and Beverage Building. This paper will describe the ups and downs of the 1915 Varied Industries and Food Products Building (1935 Food and Beverage Building), today the Casa del Prado. When first conceived the Varied Industries and Food Products Building was called the Agriculture and Horticulture Building. The name was changed to conform to exhibits inside the building.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival Into Balboa Park

    Inspired by Mexico: Architect Bertram Goodhue Introduces Spanish Colonial Revival into Balboa Park By Iris H.W. Engstrand G. Aubrey Davidson’s laudatory address to an excited crowd attending the opening of the Panama-California Exposition on January 1, 1915, gave no inkling that the Spanish Colonial architectural legacy that is so familiar to San Diegans today was ever in doubt. The buildings of this exposition have not been thrown up with the careless unconcern that characterizes a transient pleasure resort. They are part of the surroundings, with the aspect of permanence and far-seeing design...Here is pictured this happy combination of splendid temples, the story of the friars, the thrilling tale of the pioneers, the orderly conquest of commerce, coupled with the hopes of an El Dorado where life 1 can expand in this fragrant land of opportunity. G Aubrey Davidson, ca. 1915. ©SDHC #UT: 9112.1. As early as 1909, Davidson, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, had suggested that San Diego hold an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. When City Park was selected as the site in 1910, it seemed appropriate to rename the park for Spanish explorer Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, who had discovered the Pacific Ocean and claimed the Iris H. W.
