Designing to Harmonize With the Environment
Get PDFArchitecture has the power to either disrupt or harmonize with the natural environment. This research explores how buildings can be designed to blend seamlessly with their environment through three key principles: form integration, material integration, and site-adaptive design. By studying how natural landscapes shape architectural form, how locally sourced materials create harmony, and how buildings can work with rather than alter topography, this project highlights strategies for designing spaces that feel like an organic part of their surroundings. Through case studies of successful projects, this research demonstrates that thoughtful design can enhance both the built and natural worlds, proving that architecture can be both innovative and deeply connected to nature
How You Talk About Homelessness MATTERS
Get PDFIndividuals experiencing homeless (IEH) has risen across the U.S. by 7% just in the past year. In response to this increase, and with the dangers of being homeless including a 60% greater mortality rate, residents across four counties in Utah participated in a survey to better understand the community\u27s attitudes towards homelessness and homeless services with the aim to better meet the needs of IEH
A Look Into Frugivorous Interactions With \u3ci\u3ePsychotria\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3ePalicourea\u3c/i\u3e in Barro Colorado Island, Panama
Get PDFImportance of Seed Dispersal Seed dispersal is a vital ecological process that influences plant population dynamics and ecosystem structure. Half of all seed-bearing plants rely on frugivorous animals to disperse their seeds to new locations, promoting plant recruitmen
Attitudes & Beliefs About Homelessness in Cache County
Get PDFThe rise in homelessness at the local level calls for community member engagement in solution-building. In order to inform policy and funding decisions, it is important that we understand what perceptions community members have regarding persons experiencing homelessness (PEH), perceptions of gaps in resources, and the degree of support for expanding resources
Designing for Mental Health: Introducing a Student Wellness Center
Get PDFThis research highlights the critical role of the built environment in shaping mental health outcomes, emphasizing the need for more thoughtful, collaborative design practices. While previous studies have recognized the importance of therapeutic spaces, they often lack a focus on specific mental health conditions like anxiety & depression. This study brings together insights from mental health and design professionals, advocating for environments that prioritize comfort, flexibility, and emotional safety. By bridging gaps between disciplines and emphasizing user-centered, sustainable design, it offers a more comprehensive approach to creating spaces that truly support mental health and well-being
Modulation of the Pacific Meridional Mode on the Dipole Pattern of the CONUS Summertime Precipitation
Get PDFHistorically, the precipitation trend over the past few decades in the Contiguous United States (CONUS) exhibits a Dry-West Wet-East pattern; this is manifested by recent droughts/floods in the western/eastern US. However, it remains elusive what atmospheric phenomenon has potentially driven such a remarkable, and impactful precipitation pattern. Here we found that a coupled climate mode—the Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM) exerted strong impacts on the precipitation pattern over the CONUS during the summer season. We discovered a significant association between the PMM index and precipitation across the CONUS; this was manifested as a zonal dipole pattern—negative correlations in the western U.S. along with positive correlations in the eastern and central U.S. Overall, the physical mechanisms based on observations were supported by using AMIP simulations available CMIP6
