Re-Orienting Refugee Representation? A Multimodal Analysis of Syrian Refugee Representation on the social media platform Humans of New York.

▼ This major research paper (MRP) examines a selection of photo-narratives presented by the social media account Humans of
New York, focusing on a series that documented Syrian refugees in the fall of 2015. It seeks to answer the following questions: How does the HONY platform frame the Syrian Refugee crisis? Which visual, textual, and multimodal elements are mostprevalent in the sample? How does HONY’s representations of Syrian refugees contribute to or challenge the discourse of Orientalism and Othering? Does the HONY coverage provide the
opportunity for a more humanizing, compassionate perspective? To answer these questions, I coded the twenty most “liked” posts from the series for various visual, narrative, and multimodal elements. A codebook was developed from the literature review on Orientalism, neo-Orientalism, media representations of Islam, and media representations of refugees, as well as from theories of visual social semiotics, narrative analysis, and multimodal communication. The findings of this MRP question how alternative media platforms may challenge or reinforce traditional tropes utilized by mainstream media to represent a marginalized group such as Syrian refugees. The results suggest that while alternative platforms may challenge aspects of the Orientalist discourse and highlight a shared sense of humanity, the continuity of this discourse is seen to adapt through more subtle manifestations. The HONY audience is more likely to affirm representations that fit within the neo-liberal notion of who is an acceptable and “worthy” refugee. Based on the findings, this study is relevant to how professional communicators and audiences engage with media representations of marginalized groups, particularly in the current sociopolitical environment that is witnessing the unprecedented mass movement of displaced peoples.

Reshaping NYC: How can Midtown's newly become vacant office buildings be re-used?.

▼ Offices located in Midtown Manhattan are on the move towards new developments on the river banks, leaving their old residencies behind. Because of this phenomenon Midtown is experiencing high vacancy rates in its obsolete building envelope. This transition can be seen as a threat or an opportunity for Midtown’s future. It happened before and will most likely happen again, but the question is how we can deal with these kind of issues. The Rockefeller Center complex, for example, is part of the generation of urban renewal projects that helped to revitalize Midtown Manhattan at the end of the 20s and part of the more recent re-developments in the 60s. Still today, by being the largest business district in the world, Midtown remains the corporate center of Manhattan. The office building Park Avenue Plaza, previously leased by BlackRock who is now moving out towards Hudson Yards, lies in the center of financial business district of Manhattan. In this graduation project the building will function as an example to evaluate how to unlock building values that lie within the existing building stock in Midtown. With the refurbishment into a Life Science (Li-Sci) Center, financially supported by Deerfield Management, the building will pioneer and set an example for other sidelined buildings in Midtown.

▼ Short description : The research understands the biodiversity as a complex system and translates it into principles and tools to achieve a special interface between natural ecosystems (planet) and human consciousness (people) not only based on economic value. With these tools, habitats' opportunities for other species than human are created, used and increased within the urban ecosystem of NYC in order to resolve current issues, to prevent others and to make the city less vulnerable as ecosystem. This risk cover for life principle is the very base of biodiversity. The design of the Port authority Bus terminal of New York City as an eco-infrastructure experiences one strategy to link the people (in that case, the bus station with the commuting experience) and the natural environment through a service needed by the urban ecosystem yet answered with a biosphere tool : a waste water management machine. Through this project, transportation layers are overlapping activities both recreational and professional to offer a more livable and less stress environment for commuting, living and working. In that concern, the materialization of the ensemble is bridging non-biodegradable matter with both biodegradable and organic matter in order to achieve different time-related spatial perspectives.

▼ New York City, like so many great metropolises across
the world, faces a great dilemma: as the demand for living there
increases, it becomes all but impossible to afford that dream.
Storefronts in Manhattan sit vacant as the population has begun to
abandon the
city for smaller and more reasonably priced markets.
Much of the quirky eclecticism that the
city is known for is being
priced out, moved to far reaching corners of the outer boroughs,
and replaced with large franchises and multi-million dollar
apartments for the 1%. Manhattan is becoming generic and overly
homogenized. The
city stands at the brink of losing its identity
and needs to adapt to survive.

▼ “Closer to the Edge:
New York City and the Triumph of
Risk” explores the historical construction of “the culture of
risk.” The dissertation posits the culture of risk as an
alternative to neoliberal frameworks of American society in the
contemporary period. The work begins in 1973, with the
city already
unraveling from structural economic decline alongside racial and
class polarization, a graphic example of the failures of
mid-century “high-modernist” planning. It then moves to the city’s
1975 brush with bankruptcy, which became a starting point for
New
York’s elite to reimagine the city’s economic future. Financiers,
with the cooperation of political leaders and the city’s labor
movement, created an urban economy based on the most speculative
kinds of deregulated financial capitalism. The city’s leadership
deliberately risked social disintegration by using funds from
public health, safety, and welfare to attract and retain global
capital. The dissertation examines the historical impact of these
policies on the city’s role as a financial center, its real estate
market, and on the lives of the very poor. The
city that was
created by taking these risks radiated its influence outward to the
nation as a whole through capital markets, intellectual discourse,
cultural production, and
new activist movements that arose in the
midst of the AIDS epidemic. By 1992, the resulting belief in
business/government risk-taking as a social good or as a necessity
had become the dominant ethos of both
New York City’s politics and
of the United States as a whole. As recent events such as the 2008
financial crisis have demonstrated, the influence of the culture of
risk endures to the present day.

▼ This dissertation examines the origins of a planning controversy over the redevelopment of Coney Island, a world-famous, historic, seaside amusement district in Brooklyn, New York. In 2009, the Bloomberg Administration passed a major rezoning of the neighborhood in an effort to attract development to the area. This measure inspired opposition from individuals who felt that the proposal did not honor the neighborhood's history. My research focuses on the hegemonic rationality that shaped the City's plan and on the competing logics and desires that inspired its opposition. Wide agreement about Coney Island's heritage value and foremost attributes - its diversity, authenticity, and historicity - masked profound disagreement about the proper uses of the district and about the plans for its future. To explore this disconnect, I trace it back to an interplay between divergent sets of images and experiences of the neighborhood, as mediated by its materiality, and then show how these divergences helped shape the planning process. Viewed through this lens, qualities like diversity and authenticity become not points of agreement, but windows for examining sources of contestation. They help us explain why neighborhood physical structures dismissed by the City as obsolete and disposable were regarded by others as useful and historic. In this way, my project points planning practice beyond the question of which places matter and toward questions of how and why they matter. This focus on subjective experience facilitates a deeper understanding of people's relation to places, making possible the formulation of more responsive and equitable plans. It also allows us to envision forms of conflict resolution based not on zero-sum adversarial trade-offs, which invariably favor the powerful, but on a negotiated reconceptualization of a place and of its future.

▼ High stakes tests have become the centerpiece of
new educational reform movements within the United States. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 has mandated a renewed emphasis on testing. Prior to its enactment,
New York State had changed the graduation requirements for schools throughout the state, raising the standards in 1996 for a high school diploma by requiring all students to take and pass a minimum number of Regents exams. This project studies the effect of these
new laws and standards on teachers in
New York City and how they cope with pressures that are placed on them by students, parents, administrators, and other teachers. One concept this study builds upon is test score pollution, which is used in the education literature; however, it is not fully developed in the sociology of education literature. Test score pollution focuses on teachers and administrators rather than students and is used to describe factors that affect the validity of test scores. Some test score pollution strategies include: "teaching to the test," dismissing low-achieving students on test day, and teachers altering response sheets or their interpretation of a response while scoring. It is alleged that these strategies are all used in order to improve the passing percentage of schools on regents exams. In
New York high schools, teachers are the individuals in charge of grading their own students' high stakes exams. This conflict of interest leads to one common form of test score pollution called "scrubbing." Scrubbing exams involves changing the grade of an exam from failing to passing. In interviews with teachers, there have been several methods of scrubbing that have been uncovered. Teachers have mentioned that they have erased bubble sheets on regents exams, purposely reinterpreting rubrics while grading students' exams, and purposely lowered students' grades while grading the regents. A better definition of the term scrubbing along with gradations is elicited from teachers. Pressures from administrators, who currently receive incentive bonuses, to scrub are also discussed.

▼ Young people go to college not merely to equip themselves for competition in the workplace, but also to construct new identities and find a home in the world. This dissertation shows how, in the midst of wrenching social change, communities, too, use colleges in their struggle to reinvent and re-situate themselves in relation to other groups. As a case study of this symbolic process I focus on the City College of New York, the world's first tuition-free, publicly funded municipal college, erstwhile "Harvard of the Poor" and birthplace of affirmative action programs and "Open Admissions" in higher education. I examine five key moments between 1940 and 2000 when the college dominated the headlines and draw on journalistic accounts, memoirs, guidebooks, fiction, poetry, drama, songs, and interviews with former students and faculty to chart the institution's emergence as a cultural icon, a lightning rod, and the perennial focus of public controversy. In each instance a variety of actors from the Catholic Church to the New York Post mobilized popular perceptions in order to alternately shore up and erode support for City College and, in so doing, worked to reconfigure the larger New York public. The five episodes consist of the following: (1) In 1940 a state judge barred the philosopher Bertrand Russell from joining the faculty and a sweeping "investigation" followed that resulted in a purge of fifty allegedly Communist professors from the faculty. (2) Ten years later seven members of City College's national championship basketball team, all of them Jewish or black, were convicted of consorting with professional gamblers to fix games. (3) Then in 1969, in the midst of a mayoral primary, black and Puerto Rican students seeking greater access for members of the surrounding Harlem community seized control of City's South Campus and shut down the college for two tense weeks that were followed by a series of violent racial clashes. (4) Those events in turn ushered in the school's radical and hotly contested experiment with "Open Admissions" along with a decade of relentless media attacks, nostalgia for an imaginatively constructed golden age, and series of dramatic cuts to the college's budget and staff that occasioned the end of its century-old tradition of free tuition. (5) Finally, in 1991 one Afrocentric professor's outrageous remarks about Jews coupled with an accident at a student-sponsored fundraiser in the college gym that claimed nine young lives came – through the offices of the mass media – to stand for the anarchy and physical danger that seemed to be engulfing not only the institution but the city itself. Taken together these five moments, with their attendant tabloid scandals, ritual sacrifices, and manufactured crises, foreground the cultural dimension of City College's history and the construction – including the self-construction, even performance – of particular varieties of student and teacher, both past and present. Newspapers and their various publics were central to – indeed, constitutive of – the process…

▼ This research addresses the recent policy shift in the provision of affordable housing in New York, namely the privatization of this “public good” during the early government-funded NYCHA public housing to the more recent public-private partnerships and fully privately funded and owned affordable housing units. The author addresses the following questions: How could privatization benefit NYCHA housing given the ever increasing demand for more units and better quality? What strategies could help NYCHA provide functioning housing units more efficiently?
The history of affordable housing policy is studied along with comparison of typical publicly funded and managed NYCHA housing and public-private partnered affordable housing. NYCHA public housing is mostly funded by federal or city subsidy. The study examines the possible privatization of NYCHA development and looks into privatized affordable development to find strategies for improvement of space, quality and service. Recommendations are made based on results of quantitative analysis, site observation, and theory of public goods and privatization. These recommendations are also based on interview findings, interviews with residents, developers and housing officials.

▼ This thesis examines the mutual constitution of gender and remittances throughout the transnational migration circuits between Cuenca, Ecuador and
New York City, the US. The thesis aims to explicate how gender determines remittances and to what extent remittances challenge gender roles and relations in the sending society. It is based upon multi-sited research carried out in Cuenca and
New York. I argue that both approaches are demonstrated (Hondagneu-Sotelo, 1992). The gender patterns proved to affect significantly several aspects of remittance process (Mahler & Pessar, 2006; Orozco et al., 2006): gendered labor access (Hondagneu- Sotelo, 2003), parenthood (Pribilsky, 2012), gendered consumption preferences (Guzmán et al., 2006), source, propensity (Abrego, 2009), and sending and receiving patterns, which are also determined by trust in the relationships. Transnational migration proved to foment the potential to challenge gender relations (Grasmuck & Pessar, 1991). On the one hand, migration forces individuals affected by the migration process out of traditional roles: it provides female migrants with greater work prospects and non-migrants with an opportunity to increase their autonomy and emancipation (Ghosh, 2009), and confronts migrants with a society that displays general differences in cultural representations including gender patterns. On the other hand, the potential of change (Lopez-Ekra, 2011) may be deadened due to the traditional power asymmetries in individual relationships resisting change, or upon arrival (De Haas, 2007) due to rigid homeland society.

▼ This dissertation will examine the rise and fall of the Polish immigrant enclave of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, over the past 30 years (1980 to 2010), focusing on the changing social relations of housing within the Polish immigrant community during this time. Greenpoint today stands at the cusp of disintegration as classic immigrant enclave, with property values and residential and commercial rent levels that prohibit new immigrants from settling, while forcing out many of the old immigrants who did so years ago. The political economy of immigrant housing in Greenpoint, I will argue, was both creator and destroyer of the Polish enclave - engine of its growth and barrier to its further expansion. A central argument of this dissertation is that the housing market is a social construct, embedded within and conditioned by social relations specific to a particular place and time. Though socially-embedded, however, the immigrant housing market is never fully divorced from the wider urban housing market; it is in fact structured by this impersonal market and its imperative to realize profit. There is an ongoing tension or dialectic between two forms of housing relations -one subordinated to the social utility of housing, another driven by the profit motive - that is manifest within any socio-spatial formation. In the pages that follow I will explore this dialectic as it drives the evolving social relations of housing within the Polish immigrant enclave of Greenpoint, where the political economy of immigrant housing has undergone significant and rapid change in the face of a real estate boom, the likes of which New York City - and the country as a whole - has perhaps never seen before.

D.M.A.
The Age of Innocence is an opera based on the 1920 novel by Edith Wharton. Set in New York high society of the 1870's, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer, his fiancée May Welland, and her cousin, the Countess Ellen Olenska, who has returned to her native New York in an aura of scandal, having left her husband, the dissolute Polish Count Olenski, in Europe. Although Archer and Ellen fall in love, he nevertheless follows the expectations of his family and marries the lovely but conventional May. For her part, while she sees a life with Archer as an escape from her loneliness, Ellen cannot allow herself to betray her cousin, insisting that she and Archer can love each other only if they remain apart. This love triangle is unique because of the social pressures placed upon Archer: he is a product of New York society, which has taught him to believe in the factitious idea of female innocence, as personified by May. Though he questions this and other conventions of his society, he is unable to bring himself to abandon the safety of these social norms that govern every aspect of proper behavior in New York. It is Archer's love for Ellen that prompts him to challenge these standards, pointing out New York's hypocrisy in welcoming May's cousin back to America while at the same time treating her as a pariah for abandoning her husband in Europe. None of their objections to Ellen is explicitly stated, however, for this is a world which has a morbid fear of "the unpleasant" – that is, anything that would disturb the calm surface of society's politesse and social grace. It comes as no surprise, then, that Archer's desire for Ellen (especially after he marries May), becomes a potential social nightmare for his family and all of New York, as they ruthlessly plot to drive the two apart, and send Ellen back to Europe. The main challenge in creating an opera out of this story, in addition to streamlining a lengthy and complex plot, was to delineate both in the libretto and the music the realms of the said and unsaid – that is, what the characters say in public, and what they say to themselves or to others that represents their innermost feelings. In the libretto, this was achieved by drawing upon Wharton's dialogue and narration in the novel in order to create these private and public utterances, in the form of recitatives, arias, duets, or ensemble pieces. The language of the libretto has been fashioned to serve these different musical forms, with dialogue from the novel employed in moments of recitative; and freely-metered verse, with a modest use of rhyme, for the "numbers" of the opera. The music, meanwhile, employs a system of codes to define the realms of the said and unsaid – motives, sonorities and key relationships that bring into focus the interactions of the characters, especially Archer, Ellen and May as their drama plays out under the ever-watchful eyes of New York society. The music has also been rendered to bring out the stresses and meter of the text, and heighten the import…

▼ Sociology
This research will examine graduation rates from the 1999-2000 school year until the 2012-13 school year, which will shed light on the long-term impact of neoliberal policy on inequality. I begin with a discussion of the history of school reform in NYC, starting with the Brown v. BOE verdict and finishing at the current neoliberal reform era, to understand how various reform strategies have aimed to reduce segregation and inequality. I then use a dissimilarity index to examine changes in racial segregation by performance between 2000 and 2013, using high school graduation rate quartiles to measure performance. In the last empirical chapter, I use growth curve modeling to understand the factors that are associated with changes in graduation rates. I model the impact of several factors that measure the presence of neoliberal reform and inequality on graduation. These measures include: racial and socioeconomic composition, the impact of mandatory regents, being a small school and failing on NYC school accountability report. This research finds that policies aimed at desegregation have been unaggressive and poorly implemented, and this has resulted in persistent segregation. Neoliberal policies assume that by increasing individual choices and accountability, that all students will make the choices that are in their best interest, and inequality will be reduced. This indirect strategy proves to be ineffective. White students have experienced increased access and isolation amongst the best performing schools, while Black students have become increasingly segregated in the worst performing schools. Growth curve modeling shows a consistent increase in graduation rates over this time. This increase is lessened for schools that serve above average black, Hispanic, and free-lunch eligible students. These schools have the lowest graduation rate.

▼ This dissertation explores the complex relationships between the municipal government and marginalized groups in
New York City during the early 1970s, namely Afro-Caribbean immigrant communities in the South Bronx and genderqueer bohemian communities in Lower Manhattan. Through an analysis of grassroots music scenes, I argue that young people defiantly turned towards music as a source of empowerment in the face of marginalizing narratives circulated in news media. This reaction sparked two separate but contemporaneous music movements that came to be known as punk rock and hip-hop. The form of empowerment sounded different to each group, predicated on factors such as class, race, gender expression and sexual identity. For punk, the predominantly white and genderqueer scene in Lower Manhattan used music as a mechanism to critique traditional binary gender-based identities. Music and performance became a platform for transgender political expression. At the same time, further uptown in the South Bronx, the origins of hip-hop took root in predominantly black and Latino communities. Dance parties and fundraisers, first used as a means to meet the costs of living, became a social setting in which
new artists on the scene could experiment with mixed music, rapping and other deejaying techniques. For each group, the use of music was a mechanism to respond to overwhelming government inattention or neglect and operated as a means of communication about the claimed space, identity and sound of each group.

▼ This dissertation offers the first systematic study of the photographs taken by Walker Evans in
New York City and its vicinity between 1927 and 1934, a formative period that preceded the full consecration of his work in the second half of the 1930s. About 200 urban photographs in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum and a significant body of negatives in the Metropolitan Museum's Walker Evans Archive indicate that Evans's early work was mostly devoted to the theme of the modern metropolis. Cross-referencing Evans's images with contemporary photographs, aerial views, architectural plans, insurance maps, drawings, and verbal descriptions, this study aims to identify the exact subjects, the places, and whenever possible the dates of this previously uncharted body of urban photographs. The resulting catalog of over 300 images suggests the contours of an unfinished project on
New York City that Evans developed in the years immediately preceding and following the Wall Street crash of 1929. On a different level, this dissertation addresses the question of Evans's visual education in the context of the "transatlantic modernism" of the 1920s and '30s. In particular, it shows that Evans, despite his early literary ambitions, was fully conversant with the work of visual artists, architects, and critics of the Machine Age. Long ignored and often discredited as mere experiments in the fashionable style of the
New Vision, his early photographs incorporated and developed the critique of American modernism offered by such books as Le Corbusier's Vers une architecture (1923) and Erich Mendelsohn's Amerika. Bilderbuch eines Architekten (1926). At the same time, his
New York project shared the quest for an American art widely debated in avant-garde magazines and was consonant with the work of many painters later known as Precisionist.

▼ In the early nineteenth-century, skyrocketing urban populations necessitated the development of
new systems to ensure food supply. This dissertation considers the transformation of the
New York City food system between 1800 and 1860, during which period the city’s population grew to over a million people. The ways in which this transformation involved deep shifts in individual’s relationships with nature are highlighted through the theoretical lens of urban metabolism. Previous scholarship has largely ignored this area, focusing almost exclusively on changes in technology or economic practices. The urban-metabolic concept, however, allows for an investigation of how all of these threads were interwoven in the transformation. Particular case studies, focusing on changes in the legal structure of markets, the production of bread, and the supply of meat and fresh produce, are introduced to illustrate this transformation. Finally, the ways in which all of these changes created
new practices and conceptions with regard to nature is explored.

▼ The Hell’s Kitchen area should keep its residential character and provide more public function so as to be a stable and active community connecting the waterfront and Midtown CBD in the next decades. However, dull street interface, uneven distribution of vitality, expensive living burden, isolation at home intensified the contradiction between the traditional building and block typology and people’s urgent needs for diverse life. When facing the aging and diverse population, the project try to answer how to do open-renovation transformation of enclosed residential area according to the scale of intergenerational social interaction needs.

▼ Sketch is a fictional novella that explores themes of love, absence, sexual violence, and coincidence. It is a result of two years of extensive writing as a Michener fellow at the University of Miami, and is my first attempt at a longer work. Though a few of the character names are slightly fantastical, the story is firmly rooted in
New York City, and the characters themselves are realistic.

Amending the building code of the city of New York: exploring forces that influenced change.

▼ This study seeks to understand the forces that influenced changes (i.e., amendments) to the Building Code of
New York City over an approximately one hundred and ten year period spanning from 1898, the year of the city’s consolidation, through 2008, the year of the major code amendment following September 11, 2001. Although the emphasis is on this period, building codes specific to
New York City since 1625 are researched to cultivate a broader understanding of the changes to building codes throughout the city’s history. In particular, the focus is on the building issues that the amendments sought to change and the specific conditions or forces that prompted those changes. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis is performed, which demonstrates that 884 total amendments were passed between 1898 and 2008 as a result of technical, cultural, and political forces. Three complex factors are identified as being responsible for amending the building code:
new materials, methods, and technologies; cultural changes in use and occupancy; and fire disasters. This finding undermines the prevailing belief that building codes are amended primarily because of fire disasters.
Throughout the history of
New York City, changes in the building code usually numbered around six per year. However, this study documents that a significant spike occurred in the number of amendments promulgated in the early 1950s. In 1951 alone, the building code was amended 56 times. In addition to
new material sciences, cultural changes in
new uses and occupancies of buildings and
new architectural styles accounted for the largest increase in amendments during this period. Fire disasters accounted for a limited number of changes to the building code and were not nearly as influential on the code amendment process as some researchers have asserted.
This study demonstrates the complex, retroactive nature of the amendment process and how specific and responsive the building code is to the minutiae of changes in construction and occupant uses. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the retroactive amendment process, allowing for the potential to begin a proactive amendment process with the goal of increasing public health, safety, and welfare.

▼ On 29 October 2012 hurricane Sandy hit the coast of
New York City. This category 1 hurricane had a devastating effect: large parts of the
city were flooded and the
city was out of business for several days. An estimated total damage of 41.9 billion had occurred of which 5 billion in account of the metro system. The largest damage was to the subway (underground) on Manhattan. The main challenge of this research was to design a protection for the subway of Manhattan. The main sources of flood water are the rivers that enter the
city via overflow of the river bank. Flood water enters the subway system mainly via the ventilation grates and the commuter entrances. There are not many tubes that start in a flood prone area. The tube most vulnerable for flooding is the Steinway tube of the Flushing line, running from Queens under the East River to Grand Central Station on Manhattan. The Steinway tube has 200,000 daily users and was flooded during Sandy via the ventilation grates on 50th Avenue. The future flood levels in this report take the 90th percentile sea level rise (SLR) projection into account as calculated by the NPCC. The safety level is currently 1/60-years, but decreases to 1/5-years is SLR projections in 2080 are reached. Long Island
City is modelled as a storage basin where water enters via overflow of the East River Bank. The inflow of the 100 to 10,000 year floods is modelled as a harmonic tidal wave. The results show that the water level in the basin is equal to the storm surge flood level in most cases. Combined with surface elevation data, the damage to the three subsystems Long Island
City, the Steinway tube and the subway system of Manhattan shows that the risk is significant. At the considered flood levels, the Flushing line will flood via the start of the Steinway tube. The Steinway tube inflow model shows whether the flood water reaches Grand Central Station on Manhattan. A 1/500-years flood in 2080 results in a total damage of 2,571 million to all three systems. Compared to protection of only the Steinway tube, the multifunctional bank protection at the East River, called the Greenline, adds the most value to Long Island
City. Considering the political and economic feasibility, the Greenline is not designed into detail. The Steinway Flood Gate scores the highest on benefit/costs-ratio, while the protection of Manhattan only is economic not feasible: the net present value is negative for each design level. The Steinway tube is protected by closing the ventilation grates and commuter entrances with covers that are designed by a third party. Directly in front of the Steinway tube, the Steinway Flood Gate is designed. This vertical lifting gate has a door of 6.00 meters high and 7.70 meters wide. Two towers of 12 meters support this flood door. The door is able to move in horizontal direction to enable the sealing of the tube. The Steinway Flood Gate is a perfect long-term flood protection that can be realized in the near future. It is an economically attractive investment that improves the safety of…

▼ In 1870, Manhattan’s waterfront was a mixed-use site of abattoirs, storage-yards and factories. These buildings lined the rotting wooden boards of dilapidated too-small piers built on privately-owned land. This close-in, messy waterfront was unambiguously part of the rest of the
city in terms of law, operation, and governance. Over the next 50 years, the waterfront would be trans-formed. By 1921, the waterfront was dominated by publicly-owned and built concrete and steel piers on parcels that were legally distinct from the rest of the propertied urban landscape. The world’s largest steamships tied up at exclusive berths governed by an institution that sought to ensure their frictionless circulation in and out of the
city. By 1921, Manhattan’s waterfront was the exclusive site of large-scale transportation circulation – an infrastructural place. In this re-search I ask how the mixed-use urban waterfront became infrastructural place: the exclusive site of transatlantic circulation. I examine how state and private sector actors negotiated, contested, and cooperated to enframe the waterfront as infrastructure – a space ruled according to the logic of circulation– that enabled global-scale flows through Manhattan. This involved on a process of enframing which relied on the separate legal categories of property leveraged to produce
new conceptual, institutional, and material boundaries separating the waterfront from the rest of the
city. These processes were articulated through power geometries to produce the waterfront as infrastructural place. This research demonstrates how an analysis of infrastructure as place allows us to examine it as an ongoing process of social production.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to present a comprehensive history of the Fraunces Tavern Museum and its collection along with an official catalogue comprising approximately 5,000 artifacts. It documents the Museum’s own experience with the collections care remediation process so that other institutions may use this Museum’s success story as a model for their own collections care issues.The Fraunces Tavern Museum, located in New York City, is best known as the site where George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the American Revolutionary War. The lineage group, the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York (SRNY) purchased the Tavern in 1904 and opened it as a museum in 1907 where SRNY members could preserve their Patriot ancestors’ possessions. With the purchase and preservation of Fraunces Tavern, the collection has grown for over 100 years and artifact donors encompass not only SRNY members, but the general public.

The flow of city life: An analysis of cinematography and urban form in New York and Los Angeles.

▼ This dissertation uses quantitative data on
city cinematography and the morphological study of filming locations to identify how differences in ways of seeing cities, as shaped by cinematographic choices, are anchored both in differences in what is physically present as well as in differences in frameworks and expectations about what might be interesting or important to see.
Four films are evaluated that are set in Los Angeles and
New York, two cities recognized as paradigms in American urbanism: The Naked
City (1948), The Long Goodbye (1970), Goodfellas (1990), and Pulp Fiction (1994). In general, the
New York movies suggest the embeddedness of the individual in the
city and its social life in ways tied closely to urban form, with the visual presentation of the street acting as an index to the position of the individual within the narrative. Los Angeles, by contrast, presents the
city as a series of enclaves linked by infrastructure. The street as a sociologically relevant entity hardly exists, with the exception of a handful of chase scenes, as though only crisis can catalyze direct encounters with the streets of Los Angeles.
Within individual movies, the depiction of
city form reveals directorial idioms in the presentation of the narrative. The Naked
City exploits corner shots to impart greater visual interest to the presentation of activity in the streets. The Long Goodbye shows the degradation of the distinction between public and private space as concurrent with a
city form and culture that resists decoding. Goodfellas develops a grammar of views on the street that corresponds to the relationships of individual characters to overlapping social groups over time. Pulp Fiction mainly presents
city locations as decontextualized to focus on dialogue and relationships, to sculpt urban form to meet the exigencies of the narrative, and to all the more powerfully introduce surprise.
In the concluding chapter, the qualities of the
city as presented in Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction and both of the cities are diagrammed and discussed relative to architectural precedents and ideas that might inform architectural design.

▼ The six research papers and journal articles that form this submission all focus on the nature of and response to young people and young adults who have experienced relationship violence and non-partner sexual violence in New York City (NYC). These six empirical papers are based on three primary research studies in which I was the Principal Investigator spanning four years of research work: • A quantitative study of 1,312 young people in NYC high schools, • A survey of 65 survivors of sexual violence about their experiences with services (hospital, counselling, police and criminal justice) in NYC, and • A comprehensive survey of 39 emergency departments in NYC about acute care provision for sexual assault patients. These studies are innovative in that all three are ‘firsts’ in the field of violence prevention and response: ‘Partners and Peers’ was the first study of its kind to explore the prevalence of sexual and dating violence in NYC amongst high school students. This study found that 16.2% or more than 1 in 6 students surveyed reported experiencing sexual violence at some point in their lives. Of these youth, 10.1% reported experiencing non-partner sexual violence (sexual abuse or forced sex), and 14.1% reported experiencing sexual violence from a dating partner. The survey was available in both Spanish and English (both versions translated and back-translated). Passive parental consent and student assent were obtained with parental consent letters available in English, Spanish and Chinese. Three ethical review boards, including the NYC Department of Education, approved this study. ‘A Room of Our Own’ was the first study to explore from survivors’ own perspectives their satisfaction with the care and support they received post-assault in NYC with the majority of respondents having experienced a sexual assault under the age of 25 (study was approved by eight Ethics Review Boards), and ‘How Safe is NYC’ was the first study to comprehensively map protocols, procedures and services offered across Emergency Departments in NYC including how adolescent patients are treated. All three of these studies garnering significant media coverage which appeared in the New York Sun, The Washington Post, the New York Post, The New York Daily News, El Diario and on CBS news (TV) and WBAI radio. Three of the six submitted publications have already been ranked internally as part of the Moray House School of Education’s REF submission (my 4th REF submission was another journal article on a different area of child protection) and they have all been recognised as internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour. This body of work has had and continues to have significant implications for practice as highlighted in this thesis. The study of survivors’ perspectives and acute care responses in emergency departments led directly to a change in New York State Law for ambulance destination designation and a commitment from the NYC Mayor for Sexual Assault Forensic Services in all public NYC hospitals. The school-based…

▼ The objective of the thesis is to investigate human sensory conditions that are vigorously generated from the spirit of place. The sensory experiences provoke the human consciousness and are distinct for external and internal atmospheric conditions. These multiple conditions of virtual and physical perception in architecture create an atmosphere of multiple sensory experiences between the voyeur, spectator, and spectacle.
The program objective that is proposed is an automobile showroom. Times Square has historically been the epicenter for automobiles as a traffic square, carriage-making district, and a terminating destination for the Lincoln Highway. Without the automobile, the experiential character of Times Square would be lost. The program is a contribution to its identity which entails an automobile test market research center that provides escort or rental transportation accommodations. The project will be sited on a west corner lot adjacent to the Lunt-Fontanne Theater and the W-Hotel facing Duffy Square in the Theater District, Manhattan,
New York.

▼ Due to the increase in occurrence of natural disasters, it is imperative for our society to learn to maintain resiliency, while also preparing for the aftermath of a disaster. The major tasks of this proposal include providing emergency and permanent housing, within a condensed timeframe to a medium density while providing communal spaces and activities for long term use.
New York City, the epicenter of the region and the country, can be catastrophically damaged by an earthquake or hurricane, particularly because of the density of population and lack of awareness of seismic risk. The quality of pre-disaster planning immediately results in a more successful post-disaster reconstruction, which directly impacts the future resiliency of the community. In order to decrease the timeframe between the disaster, emergency response, the relief phase, and the recovery of the community, a
new building assembly system must be developed to solve this problem.

▼ The World Trade Center attack, September 11, 2001 represents an unprecedented tragedy in America. There is general consensus that a memorial should be built on site. Memorials are a way our society assigns significance to events and
collectively provides a place for mourning. However, the nature of this memorial is highly disputed. Pressures, aside from those to build a memorial to victims, exist. The site may be required to re-establish the economy, revitalize Lower Manhattan,
recreate a symbol of New York, and reassert American values. My thesis explores the precedent for integrating functional and sacred spaces to satisfy these demands. Four critical design elements: height, architecture, circulation, and activity can be
used to preserve memory while re-establishing an urban environment. By integrating memorial with new uses it may be possible to recognize the past, facilitate healing through both remembrance and responsive action, and provide for a vibrant
future.
