Landscape barkitecture : guidelines for behaviorally, mentally and physically responsive dog parks

In response to the growing dilemma surrounding urban companion animal management, municipalities are beginning to designate specific locations to offer dogs an opportunity to play, socialize, and exercise off-leash. Current dog park establishment practices utilized by municipalities typically give little consideration to the multiple needs of canines. The focus of this project is the introduction of new guidelines for designing urban dog parks to support the multiple needs of dogs and their owners. In the process of responding to major issues surrounding dog parks, six categories of research help direct the project. These categories include current practices in dog park design and management, the three basic needs of canines (behavioral, mental, and physical), needs and use patterns of dog owners, and the demands of the surrounding community. Several city parks departments have established dog park design guidelines. With the multiple needs of dogs and their owners in mind, the existing guidelines and design principles are analyzed, compared, and critiqued. In addition to these guidelines, information on current dog park design is gathered through interviews with Andre Denman, the principle park planner for Indy Parks, and Ryan Geismar, Graduate Landscape Architect at Human Nature, Inc. These guidelines are applied and tested with the design development of a new dog park in Indianapolis, Indiana. The guidelines help develop a list of programmatic elements appropriate for a fourteen-acre urban dog park, while specific site inventory and analysis promote a complete understanding of the site and its character. This process, utilized by landscape architects, offers a new approach to dog park design.Thesis (M.L.A.)Department of Landscape Architectur

Dogs’ participation in human social life: Furniture design for dogs

A growing number of study has shown that dogs are considered as close family members and sometimes are embraced as surrogate children. With that, people like to provide them with the best affordable products in the available market. Before adopting a dog, the first thing that comes in one's mind might be the dog crate, not just a transportation method but a significant aid to creating a systematic structure for dogs and dog owners. However, few products meet the requirements of both functional and aesthetic need. Most available products offer practical solutions but lack comfort and compassion in function and look, while being incohesive with the current home décor trend. Moreover, misevaluation of the crate size by dog owners might result in undesired purchases as the dog grows with age. "PUPZZLE" is the combination of "puppy" and "puzzle." The design goal is to create a modular dog furniture system. It has eight types of components for people to choose from to customize their own ideal dog crate/house/bed which can be adjusted. A wide range of patterns and colors collection are available as well. In this way, dog owners can always design what they want to suit their home and build a better harmony between them and their dogs

Renovation and revolution: a cultural history of homes in Virginia

RENOVATION AND REVOLUTION: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF HOMES IN VIRGINIA Renovation and Revolution is the first half of a book length series of linked essays exploring the history of houses in Virginia from 1607 to the present. Readers travel through the American Indian town of Paspahegh, models of waddle and daub houses excavated at James Town, Appalachian cabins, freed slave refugee camps, manor houses shipped from England, low-income garden apartments, a sprawling commune, abandoned college dorms modeled after world\u27s fair designs, and much more. This tour ultimately guides readers to a better understanding of what it means to be at home in America, a land founded on movement and innovation, yet constantly searching for its roots. This half covers pre-history through the Civil War with a few side stories foraying into the 21st century

The Humid Condition

The Humid Condition: (More) Overheated Observations continues on the clicking heels of Dominic Pettman’s Humid, All Too Humid (2016), providing a companion volume of pithy and witty observations for our overheated age. Covering topics from pop culture to academia to romance to politics to human mortality to everything in between, this collection of pointed musings aims to amuse, edify, instruct, provoke, tease, caution, and inspire. As with the first installment, the spirit of this book represents a fusion of Montaigne and Wilde; a mashup of Adorno and Yogi Berra; a parallel channeling of Marx and Marx (both Karl and Groucho). No doubt, Hannah Arendt would be appalled at the irreverence on display within these pages. Then again, “Heidegger has left the bildung.” And as the author himself notes: “I have nothing new to say. And I’m saying it!
