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)

Our personal possessions reveal our character and provide us with tangible markers of our memories. The photographs from the series Trace (noun and verb) are an exploration of my own memories and biography. I have photographed my own possessions, both mundane and memorable and those of my family members. These objects possess a history and contribute to the telling of the story of my life and the lives of those closest to me, as my personal traditions are deeply rooted in my southern upbringing. In the private, interior spaces within which these material possessions are held, my family’s most intimate facts, fictions and secrets are commemorated. History is perceived at the moment in which the past is petrified into an image. Photographs are incapable of retrieving the past; they simply attest that a “now” existed in the past.

The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how an urban living place type that fosters the development of ideal place, while interjecting aspects of traditional neighborhood design and promoting community interaction can be created through the processes of research and design. This will be accomplished by establishing the current wants, needs, and haves of the American urban dweller as pertaining to urban living, American culture, and psychology of ideal place. This thesis will establish design drivers and provide a prototypical design through the exploration of programming characteristics of current multi-family residential buildings, traditional neighborhood design, and typical single-family dwellings. Through literature review, case studies, interviews, and ethnography, the thesis argues interior design can successfully establish programming function that building form follows to create an urban living place type with integrated aspects of traditional neighborhood design.

Objects contain important narratives that can determine the level of reverence paid as an object transcends into that of artifact. The ability to recognize and realize the potential of objects, and the symbols they possess, requires a designer to take a closer look at the decisions being made during the design process – including the reintroduction of craft and its importance in defining narratives for an intended audience. A designer’s relationship to objects, and the careful attention paid to the meaning hidden within design choices, can determine how effective new forms of visual communication translate meaning to an audience.

The study focuses on the ways in which the military lifestyle changes the level of interaction with the built environment. The issues addressed deal with the notion of adaptation and attachments to a place. The nature of the military is one of constant change and movement, therefore the relationship of place is one that is temporary. The city of Hinesville, Ga is inherently dependent on the populations of Fort Stewart and visa versa. This dynamic relationship in combination with the constant rotations of the Army has left Hinesville with a sense of transient inhabitation. The solution is to create an environment which invokes a sense of belonging for a community of people who have essentially been “uprooted” and relocated.
