This thesis examines integrated affordable housing in contemporary Los Angeles through the architecture of the Star Apartments. By looking at how housers, architects, and tenants relate to Star?s form, this thesis explores 1) The forces of urban production that influence both affordable housing and homelessness, and 2) the dynamics of personhood and perception that operate within these spaces., 2018, Old URL: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etd_hon_theses/2030, In Copyright – Non-Commercial Use Permitted (InC-NC)
In this thesis, I explore the multiple ways in which a single site, Long Lane School, a former reformatory and juvenile detention center, has been perceived over time. I examine this space from the perspective of Wesleyan students, including myself, from the perspective of Wesleyan's Physical Plant employees, from the perspective of neighbors who have lived opposite the place for years, and from the perspective of former employees and residents of the institution., 2009, Old URL: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etd_hon_theses/321, In Copyright – Non-Commercial Use Permitted (InC-NC)

Description
This thesis examines the intersections of aesthetics and politics during and after the Cultural Revolution, in propagandistic posters and their re-appropriated forms today. Using Ban's discourse of "desublimation", I untangle the meanings that manipulations to Maoist and Cultural Revolution propaganda, in forms of commodities such as the "Obamao" wallet, illuminate about China's complex relationship with its past., 2015, Old URL: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etd_hon_theses/1402, In Copyright – Non-Commercial Use Permitted (InC-NC)
