Graduate Thesis Collection
Collection of theses from 2010 and later
This database houses the graduate thesis work completed at all SCAD locations from fall 2010 forward. It is keyword searchable and includes both written and visual components, giving the user a broader understanding of both product (digitized studio work) and its underlying concept (the written thesis). The goal of the database is to provide both aspiring MFA candidates timely models of what a graduate thesis should address, and the larger public a sense of the richness of graduate work done at SCAD. Questions regarding this database should be directed to the Visual Resources Center (vrc@scad.edu)

Makkah is the destination for Muslims from all over the world; Muslims come to Makkah to perform the pilgrimage once a year. During that time they spend four days in Mina, which contains a permanent tent city created to serve the housing and other needs of the pilgrims. However, the current tent city is inadequate, resulting in capacity, service, and safety issues. The current design of the site is poorly planned, causing much confusion. Since the pilgrims come from different parts of the world, different cultures and different backgrounds, the poor layout of the site adds to the already inherent communication challenges. The commotion caused by so many individuals in such a poorly structured environment has lead to people getting lost, as well as stampedes and fires. Additionally, the camp is permanent and therefore requires maintenance, security and energy throughout the entire year, not just the four days when the site is utilized. Because of those challenges, the tent site in Mina needs a new concept and design.

This thesis uses a survey to collect American opinions about the birth control pill’s acceptance in society. Combined with existing studies, articles, and online sources, it was revealed that young women find this topic difficult to bring up with their parents. This information serves as a jumping off point to explore how humor can be used as a message appeal to approach the difficulty to talk about this subject in an integrated marketing communication program. By creating an over-the-top cast of characters to deliver the message, birth control pill, YAZ, will see higher sales and therefore, American women could be healthier because of it.

This thesis explores the effects of the theories of biophilia, color theory, and restorative environmental theory; have on improving the experience of veterans with mental illnesses while receiving treatment in psychiatric care facilities. It aims to demonstrate how implementing principles of selected theories into a mental health care facility will improve the patient experience by evaluating existing VA hospital psychiatric ward design. Through the investigative processes of a review of relevant literature, case studies, precedent analysis, surveys, and interviews, a psychiatric care interior design model will be developed that responds to patients need for improved health care facilities.

This thesis investigates the contemporary stress factors created by four diverse generations (Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y) in the American office. Each generation has varied work-style and workplace preferences that need to be recognized in an office environment. Using restorative interior design approaches, this thesis explores the design of interior environments as a catalyst to reduce stress and improve successful communication in today’s generationally integrated workplace. Investigative tools utilized for data collection include a literature review, case study analysis of existing workplace environments, employee surveys and industry professional interviews. This investigation provides the foundation for the development of a prescriptive set of interior design guidelines. These guidelines emphasize in-depth applications utilizing restorative design principles. These principles impact the innate attributes of human-nature and are used as part of a multifaceted solution to increase successful communication and reduce stress in current and future generationally diverse work environments.
